Boats / Re: N1870 Clean Sweep
18 Sep 2007, 01:46
i owned this boat when I was 15 (back in 1975)  My family bought it from Jim Blazeby , who was the salcombe harbourmaster.  I raced it at dittisham in the handicap series (never did very well) , it was a pretty boat, kind of looked like a mini salcombe yawl without the mizzen.   We took it to Coniston once and  left the mast at home, but stuck a seagull outboard on the back instead.   I remember my dad trying to sail it with my aunt - neither could sail worth a damn, and the sat too far back so the water came flooding in the self bailing flaps.    I think we sold it in 1977.
