does anybody have records from 2000/2001 at Roadford Lake - and is there a mention of a Steve Cooksey sailing Enterprise E110 (Bright Yellow)??
i bought the Boat in April - only just succeeded in collecting it from its 12yr "stowage" in the roof of Steve's garage and bringing it back to Bradwell last week : it will probably be back in the water for next weekend - it's in that good a condition (the Main has a "Jack Holt" label - i was not aware that he did sails as well??) - pictures will follow

Re: Bright yellow Enterprise
Classification of food additives/colorants gives E110 as "Sunset Yellow" or "Orange Yellow" if that helps. Presumably this would have been the boat's name?

Before my time, I guess Rupert, Ed, or Neil would be the ones in the know.

Re: Bright yellow Enterprise
Vaguely remember a yellow ent, will looko through our records but I don't think we have those details from then.
Yes Holt Ltd made sails. the story goes that he bought a job lot of sail cloth which turned out to be not the colour he was expecting, yes it was blue cloth thus the colour of Ent sails ever since.

I love the Ent sail colour, but I do know a lot of people who hate it with a passion!

Re: Bright yellow Enterprise
yes Michael - you were absolutely right - "Sunset Yellow" - has a few minor niggling issues so its not back in the water yet
Re: Bright yellow Enterprise
Enterprise 110 was 29th at the 2001 Roadford Nationals and was named Sunset Yellow.
