Estuary Classic 198?

[SplitPin]

I've been scanning some negatives I found that I took at Allhallows. I think it was '84 but cant be sure. Recognised most boats but there were a couple i'm not sure on.
:headbang:

i think the cat on the left is aquaglide later became lenny halls tucktonia if so a very fast boat in its day,its a cougar

[BluFin]

First one looks like a profile of Havoc aka Aquaglide aka Southern Raider aka, ect.

[SplitPin]

I did think Southern Raider/ Tuktonia/ but that was yellow wasn't it? The other boat, Martin Warman's name rings a bell!!

[BluFin]

Should have gone to specsavers
its yellow !!!!!:aaahhh:

Think your right Martin Warman went IIIC the following year (ish) with the Ring, so that would make the pic around 83 or 84 - 25 was martin race No

Or as Kay Mortimore used to call him OK Yar Martin!!! LOL.

I think the dyes in the negs may have faded a tad!!!

Just found some of the Southern Speed with a blue hue across them.

I'm pretty sure Martin W. raced his black Phantom in IV D, i.e. with a 115 Merc., not a Yam as shown in the photo. I don't think it's him.

Martin went from the full-size stuff to models and used to come to AYC with his model boat club when we hosted meetings for them.

Bud, that would have been IV E with a 115.
IV D was upto 90hp. Also class IV had the class letter as a prefix. e.g. E8 (Clive Jones old race number).

I'm pretty sure he did a season in IIIB. I'll have to ask Delboy next time I see him.

can't remember if we did that one or not back then in the old Ring 21 got a feeling if we did we retired the boat was ironically Richard Carrs first fast boat fitted with a 200 before he moved on to the bigger stuff

I should have known that, as I raced with Ian Rowsell in his P16 with a 115 and I think that was E15.

I also raced in IV D in the 70's with a 100 horse Merc, so there must have been a rejig at some time.

I also remember that it was always sunny and that the water at Allhallows was crystal clear, so maybe it's just an age thing.....:rolleyes:

If the Boatmad Gallery results are looked into,it reveals that in the 1984 season both Red Rooster (L.Hall) - Cougar cat No5 and Meter Car Co (M.Warman) -Phantom 16 c/w 1 x Yamaha,Boat No 25 raced together,albeit no results were available for allhallows.

[SplitPin]

Cheers for that.
I had a quick look at Allhallows results but as you said, nothing was posted.
I didn't realise that (Laddie) Graham Palmer navigated for Martin. Another of the Miss Fitz crew from Greenford.
Cheers,
G.

I would think it`s almost certainly 84.The only year the two boats raced under those names.In 85 Warman`s boat was merc powered,and Red Rooster became DMS.

Cheers for that.

I think he also navigated for Richard Strutton (jnr)
