Sailing PHOTOS - This blog covers a wide range of boating topics check out my DIRECTORY which is full of use full information. There are lots of photos of Classic racing yachts , modern racing yachts, multihulls and yachts/boats of interest. Have a look at the photo directory for yacht names. My youtube Channel called shockwave40 has 196 videos of sailing action. Back in 2010 I almost videoed all UK dinghy classes and some catamaran classes that existed back then.
IRC Welsh National Championship 2014 - sailing action ...
Super Sparks is a David Thomas designed Hunter Impala 28 OOD rather than a half tonner. I believe they rated around 20.5ft IOR or thereabouts so would have raced in the same class as the half-tonners.
ReplyDeleteThe Impala's are still popular and hold a national championship each year (Weymouth in 2013) Super Sparks- GBR 9526 is listed on the class website as recently as 2011.
