For a number years I had known the she was left the my Grandfather by Lord Jellicoe. I think the plaque on her says donated by Devonport Yacht Club.The part they had was in her removal from number 9 to the Auckland Musuem where she has since been transferred to the Maritme Museum. When she left number 9 she was complete,raxy sails,embosed Iron Duke pinic set and velvet cushions.Which have dissapeared over the yrs(maybe buried in the bowls of the museum). Auckland Star June June 13th 1924 I believe her crew was Andy (forward hand)Glady Bailey(main)Jelli on the helm. Still trying to find an article written in 8 oclock.Lady Jellicoe saying to Andy"Dont you drown my husband"apparently won some race where Lord Jelli was knocked out briefly

X Class use to race for the Sanders Cup. The Sanders Cup that will have it's 100th running this year, if covid allows.
Sanders 1st edition was 1 year before the Liptons Cups 1st edition but unlike the Lipton Cup they postponed the Sanders during some war years.
Hey HT, what was Rosies boat, the one you fucked me over with a bottle of Whiskey on in Issy bay back in the day. The following week was worst hangover of my entire life ever, yes the entire week it was a huge one. During a cruising race with the after match on Ruby and Bob McCreas Lady Elizabeth.
That was a V Class wasn't it?
