- SPECTRUM T35
Hi Frosty, as far as I can remember this is a rough history of my time in sharpies hanging off the wire.
The dates are a bit hazy!
Started sharpies with Stephen Boyes in 1974:
- SPLIT IMAGE T555
- SHIP OF FOOLS N56
- Sailed with John Pitt in NEMESIS T522
- Sailed with Trout Jackman in RAGE T551
- SHAROO T734
- Finished up sailing with Bill Rostron in 1987 in GIFT HORSE T555, which was the renamed SPLIT IMAGE.
All these boats sailed out of the Sharpie shed on Marieville Esplanade adjoining the R.Y.C.T. and were members of that club.
By far the best days of my sailing life, which started in 1961 in International Cadets, then Rainbows and progressed to Dragons after Sharpies. Currenly sailing my half tonner Madman's Woodyard. So that's it in a nutshell Frosty. Nut being the operative word.
