Yes seen before, excellent! Thanks for reminding us it is there. Pathe have loads of sailing stuff - Wisconsin Lake Scows, for example.

Many well known names on the water that day: Proctor, Oakley, Southcott, Steavenson to name a few.
It looked as if 504 was up there at the front at the close, M Goffe had had a good few wins previously and brought 504 to the Holt event at Wraysbury a few years ago. He had been hoping to find someone to take her on but I don't know if he found anyone.

Interesting.

Did you know that Wraysbury Lake SC closed in December 2013 ?

Sadly yes I did know. Jack Holt was one of the founders and the story goes that he designed the Enterprise for he and his wife to sail there.
