In fact I sold Joker in about 1979 and it seems that there were a couple of other owners before Toby owned her.................

I remember this boat being raced very successfully at Northampton Sailing Club during the 1960s by John Hakes, crewed by Arthur Waddel

Joker was a modified China Doll. She was my second National 12. I bought her at Pevensey Bay S.C. and sailed her in the handicap class at the RAF sailing club at Burghfield. Subsequently I moved abroad and Joker suffered neglect until I eventually sold her to a young lad from Southampton for a token sum.

Wild One was my first boat - bought second-hand with money earned doing a newspaper round.

I never could afford a decent suit of sails for her - I'm sure that this is the only thing that stopped us winning the Burton!

I bought her in Wisbech, sailed her at Northampton Sailing Club and at the RAF sailing club at Burghfield, Berkshire, and eventually sold her to a fellow club member at Burghfield.

Lugo was raced very successfully at Pitsford Reservoir, Northampton, during the mid 1960s when she was owned by Jim Lucas.
