dinner at the Portsmouth Guildhall ... |

No shortage of silverware at the Porter
table! Ian (left), Annie and Mike could be
listening to and timing the George Blanchard speech
on which there was a "pool" for guessing its length.
Although there were cries of "foul" and "inside
knowledge", this was won by George's crew, Roger
Redwin, with an estimated time of 11 minutes.

Wayfarers shake hands: Peter Lord (left) and UKWA

Geoff Hodshon (left) shows the
results of covering your nose with Nivea and paper
towel and then lighting a cigarette, while Uncle Al models the
Tilley hat which cost enough that he couldn't afford
a new T-shirt...

... a fitting tribute to Colin Wilson's
Wayfarer #1, the only 16-foot Wayfarer in existence.
After #1, it was decided that the boat could be
built from only two 8-foot plywood sheets by
making the LOA 15'10". Doesn't she look in great
shape??!!
