Not Falmouth, Rupert...go north.
The last and largest wooden warship was built near here. it displace twice as much as HMS Victory and was fitted with a steam engine as well as sails. But it never saw service.

Your number five wasnt a Lightning by any chance?

Gavin. further west than the Tamar.
hint.. HMS Warrior lived as a hulk/Jetty on the opposite bank here.

Yes Pat, I'm sure Sandy knew that . The GWR found a way to shorten the sea route to the Atlantic. This terminus was open in 1856 and closed to passengers in 1964. Rupert . is the nonexistent boat an Optimist?... None around at the moment. Bobsliegh track a Lugger remove a G and R to get Luge . May s...

1. It is reputed that Jack Holt designed the Enterprise dinghy as a boat his wife would prefer to crew on Wraysbury lake. What event was staged to prove the Enterprise was more than just a boat for a pond? 2 What single handed dinghy classes were used in the following Olympics? Who designed them and...

i see Gordon Fowler is mentioned in the article from 30 years ago in Classic Boat mag, by John Leather. Fowler took a Morgan Giles 12 footer to the riviera for a contest, perhaps in attempt to encourage a 'better' design, which did not take off. apart from that i can't find any other reference to hi...
