A sistership to the 1963 winner of the Cowes Classic arrived at the Lake in the 70’s. Perhaps you have seen it and just didn't realize its pedigree.
Link showing all winners below picture of the 1992 winner – the weather.
P.S.- Also enjoy time spent with a Sunfish, although the "racing " sailboaters didn't appreciate my presence one time on their race course - the Broads. Isn't a Sunfish a sailboat, too and the Broads big enough for all? Go figure...
