So another year comes to a rapid end, yet what a year !
29 Classic craft arrived at Cowes for the 2nd Classic Rally with others turned away due to lack of space, whilst earlier in the year 8 assorted classics attended the Sportsboat Show in May.
The year saw several major winners change hands with Miss Enfield 2 going to Italy for restoration and another Shead design the highly successful HTS/APACHE being sold to club member Nick Wilkinson, with her restoration underway. Lets hope she appears in the summer and is able to attend the 3rd Classic Rally.
2012 despite the economic situation will hopefully prove to be even better with more names from the past returning to the scene... be sure that we will be first with any news and do not forget that the Sonny Levi Trophy will be up for grabs come May. Also... any suggested nominees would be considered, please let me know if you have any ideas.
In the meantime, I would like on behalf of the Committee to wish everyone a very happy and successful New Year.
Mike
