The life of N3203 Skylark. Design: Crusader, designed by: Phil Morrison in 1981
This boat was bought from Gerry Ledger by Tim and Wendy Gray when they sold TC (3033). It was Gerry's 1st professionally built boat and was painted light blue. Skylark was sailed with great success around the midland circuit winning the Armada Trophy in 1983, 85,86,87 @ 89 as well as the Inlands in 1983 @ 87 when crewed by Adrian Layton. I sailed quite a few opens with Tim while Wendy was bringing up their family. Tim sailed at Earlswood Lakes Sailing Club until moving North to Trent Valley in 1989, I then lost touch with him but I believe he is now sailing Rs 200 at Staunton Harold SC. If anybody has any news on Tim I would love to hear from them.
Just bought her the other day. Looks good for her age, and I seem to have got her set-up mostly. She will be based at Glossop SC, North Derbyshire along side my RS300. 2 crews lined up and both ready to go, so hopefully out and about soon. Pictures to be added.
