Hi Nigel, fascinated to hear this detail. Yes, its been a year since I checked into this site.
....do you have any photos of the CHLSC from that period?
The Club is fairly strong these days with about 15 Pipers and 20 Flying Fifteens.

Peter Collyer passed away last year (2010); he
remained a fine sailor and a perfectionist to the end. My father, David Ross,
bought 'Hijack' from Peter and sailed the boat at Holy Loch; but after my
father died in 1962 Peter was aye borrowing it back. I sold the boat when our
club changed over to Merlin Rockets in the late 60s. The boat was unusual in
respect of the gunwales which were hollow, rolled and moulded into the top
plank. Unfortunately, this pièce de résistance of craftsmanship was
let down by the glues of that
period and had to be replaced.
