Impudent (N1057) was first owned by Brian Southcott of the Tamesis club at Teddington on the Thames. When I started sailing Twelves in the early-50s, he was probably the most successful helmsman on the Thames at that time. He had previously owned Imp (N190) before I knew him. Later on from the mid-50s he had Chimp (N1357). In his day he was almost unbeatable on the river.

This lovely boat was my first 12 which we sailed for many years at the old Burghfield RAF sailing club. In 1965 I sailed her in my first Burton Week at Thorpe Bay.  We sold her on to Tony Woodcock. I last new of the boat in a poor state at Medley SC Oxford. I will try to att. a pic sometime.
