18th Century slave and anti-slave model ships my Dad built and we raced on the Round Pond, Kensington. He has one in the Science Museum.
Enterprise 6464
Fireball 4466 - the worlds heaviest boat!
Merlin - never sailed, but was great fun for my brother and I to practice hiking when it sat in the back garden circa '77.
Fireball 12177 - we built, well, my Dad built it. Sailed with Dad before best mate and I took over (we still cycle together). Saturday morning job at Holts in Putney so a good discount on fittings.
Sunfish - raffle prize
Fireball 13013 - we built, well, my Dad built it. 1983 Europeans team
Fireball 13111 - we built, well, my Dad built it. 1984 Worlds team San Fran, 1985 Euros team
Fireball 14048 - we built, well, my Dad built it.
Windsurfers - the full range from heavy old tanks to Div2 Alpha Pro to slalom, race and wave. Some still in my parents garage!
Contender 406 - Rondar demo boat that I looked after when working at Racing Sailboats
Contender 355 - Old Tony Smith boat, wished I had the new Rondar demo boat back.
International Moth 4004 - never finished a race in it, but loved the odd time I sailed it properly
Laser 5000 5115 - part owned
International 14 1369 - part owned, Worlds 2001. Rock solid Ovi1
RS700 894 - breaking a carbon mast by nose-diving in big breeze is quite scary/loud!
RS200 864 (both sons crewed at various times)
Topper x 2 owned but sailed by my youngest
Blaze - New, owned for a day, returned.
Solo 5461
Laser 195115 - sailed by youngest sons and once by me
Solo 5691 - current ship and loving it/the class racing. 2018 Vet champ... and I'm not even old.
SUPs x 2
Feels like there might be more I've forgotten and then there is a future Solo and possibly an OK, maybe?


I worked in Clapham in the 70s and remember Racing Sailboats as being a wonderful place, full of piles of stuff and atmosphere.And the feeling of " Uncle Jacks" in Putney being history x 10!

Lots of crewing means my ownership list is not as extensive as it might be.
3 Mirrors. First 2 second hand. Should have kept the middle one. The third I built myself and was a total dog.
1 Scorpion - most amazing boat I ever owned. Rocket ship. It was like a puppy straining on the leash, you just had to let it run and it seemed faster than virtually anyone else's.
3 Lasers. First second hand, others new. Negotiated a swap on the second after it developed some cracking. Still have the last one - its now like a car that's done 250,000 hard miles but seems good enough still to win on Frensham
3 RS200s. Never had a new one
2 RS100s

Crewing career went from Troys with my dad (pre-Mirrors) then 3 Larks (2 uni boats), 2 470s and 2 Int14s

List of other boats I've sailed is much longer and more varied (team racing Bosuns anyone?)

Cadet 6685 built by Dad. Gone to the great boatyard in the sky
GP14 11296 built by Dad. 30lbs or so overweight when brand new, and the local measurer deemed that the triangular cosmetic cutouts in the side bench knees were 'fairleads' and thus illegal, so they had to be filled in :-(  She was still around when I returned to dinghies a few years back.

 BIG BREAK of 20 years or so.

Lark 2332 Last known location: Yorkshire
Fireball 14268 (Severn composite) Sold & gone to S/W France.
Fireball 14821 (White Winder) Current ship.

That's it - not many in comparison to previous posts.

well for what it's worth - it was a genuine omission... proof that the human brain has a remarkable ability to provide rose tints to life experience- for those of us not wearing transition lenses anyway.  LOL 

Hope all is well - still sailing the RS100?

Despite being a modest Weekender, the Sun2000 is the boat I've kept the longest. A surprisingly versatile little boat.
