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.

Flanked
by
the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress of Portsmouth, two grand old men
of
Wayfarers shake hands: Peter
Lord (left) and UKWA Commodore, Dick
Notley shake hands. Note Ian
Proctor's wife,
Betty on far right.

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??!!
