79' for Flat Stanley, or was it 78?

If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

Currently, my oldest is only from 1959, a Firefly. Just bought another Firefly that is very young as she is from 1978. Other than that, a 1970 Int Moth, a 1970ish Puffin, a 1984 Mirror and a 1989 British Moth. The British moth is for sale, as she is too new...
Odd that no one has posted who owns a prewar boat yet, after all, there are 14's and N 12's out there. And no Thames A Rater sailors, either, who could push this back to Victorian or Edwardian times? |

My oldest boat was built in 1936 - 14' 6" clinker day boat, gaff rigged, and still has the original bamboo spars. |

My Contender is probably from 1969, before the class even existed in the UK (she was brought here from Melbourne in 2002). It's a Miller and Whitworth, with a Goldspar mast. Legend says there's the picture of a naked girl under the foredeck. |

Since my earlier post I have acquired i14 k865 'Agamemnon', built in 1965 and also a marauder built in 1973 (matches the phantom, which I still have.) I have sold contender 473, which was replaced with 620, now also sold, and have instead 2359, a mere four year old. We also have a streaker from 1988 and a kestrel from the late sixties, a simoun 445 from the seventies (probablement) and a relatively modern bashed in L2k, probably built in the early nineties.
My signature says it all.... |

the same, but different...
