So, does that mean any Solo without a signature can be chucked out of the racing?

This thread (http://www.solosailing.org.uk/forums/topic/FDF3A7A0-C761-4A96-A4DB-683B3BB7BF90/) suggests that Frank Mountifield used to be the Solo Class Measurer.

Perhaps he use to sign using his middle name. I guess there's a chance a sail maker would also be a class measurer (as long as he's not measuring his own sails)

Mountifield was what we thought it looked like and there used to be a sail loft called Mountifield hence the puzzle.

+1 Batt. It is definitely a sail made by Dick Batt back when his sail loft was in High Wycombe. The signature is of the sail measurer and is needed to show that the sail was class legal back in 1992 and seeing how it is dated as July, it was probably new for the Solo champs of that year. The measurer's name is not Mountfield as too many dots.

I would suggest that signature isnt Mountfield.
Too many dots over what appears to be 'i's and no ld, just ends in an L |

I did wonder if that might be the case.. a measurers signature for some event or other in 1992 so quite young in Solo years, only in its twenties, so the $64,000.00 question is Frank related to Mike, or no?

There is a Frank Mountifield associated with our sailing club (Island Barn Reservoir) as one of our trophies is named after him (I think he might have been a commodore as well). Unfortunately before my time, but maybe JimC might know.
Edit: Just saw that Jim posted before me, so maybe Jim doesn't know. Edited by rb_stretch - 19 Dec 16 at 8:21pm |
