The life of N1856 Yo-Ho-Ho. Design: Mark 8, designed by: Ian Proctor in 1958
N1856 was built by Peter Collyer at Sandbank on the Holy Loch. This contributor does not know whether the boat was originally owned by Peter Adam of the Perth S.C. but he certainly owned it in 1968 when he won the Scottish National 12 Championship with her. Peter was a schoolmaster at Glenalmond College where he had been a pupil. He served in the Navy in WWII, with distinction, and returned to his old school in l949 as a master. In that year he formed the school sailing club and this contributor was a founder member of the club, as a pupil. Peter oversaw the construction of YW Cadets for the club and in the early years of the club be had two old N12s, this contributor recalling that they were Hengist and Horsa, presumably the two boats of those names in the N12 Handbook, N32l and N328. What happened in later years to those three boats in unknown.Peter Adam passed away in 2010.
