[quote by=ntoa link=Blah.cgi?b=boats,m=1667,s=0 date=1172427171]The life of N1667 Yakopu. Design: Mark 8, designed by: Ian Proctor in 1958” I crewed this boat in the late 1960's then owned by Graham Lewis (see NT 2556 and 2610). We were cadets at Earlswood Lakes Sailing Club ; 27 acres near solihull West Mids. Yakapoo (suposedly an indian war cry ) was screemed by both helm and crew on a fast plane usually, given our light weight just before a capsise ! |
