The shellcocks sailed 3004 I think which was called Los Angeles, remember that had a rotating needlespar which had to be pinned to make it legal, I know Debbie Jarvis sailed 3003 when it was called the Liberator in about 83/4

Show posts MenuQuote from: 423This is the biggest discussion topic for a while and important it is too. Trent Valley S.C. has received a lot of mention and in response to Stu W, and his description of our water as a "horrid little river", I thought that I should add some facts. Club members Dick Wyche in 1938, Mike Nokes in 1960, John Royce in 1976 won the Burton Cup, as did former club members Robert Peebles in 1995 and Graham Camm (many times!) after they had left the area. We have managed to keep a fleet going continuously since 1937, although it has been a struggle at times. There are 9 boats in the dinghy park now and we are desparately keen for friends to come and sail at our three Open Meetings this year (described by Paul Turner in another Discussion Group message), to keep the heritage going. The river is both an attractive and tricky place to sail and Mr W would learn something if he were to get another boat and sail here.
