Ctc 1976

Mike Lloyd · 06-10-2009, 08:07 PM

I have been asked by Charles Gill to find some photos of his boat "I Like it Too" with which he won the CTC in 1976. Charles is one of the directors of the BPRC and actually took part in four CTC races coming, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and finally 1st beating the Americans by some ten minutes.

Any pics would be appreciated.

.......The originals are a little larger, I'm sure if Mr Gill were top ask Graham, he'd be happy for him to have the full size pics to print from.

Oh gawd.Mr.Gill will be doing cartwheels.The first boat is the Souter built `I Like it` (ex-HTS) ,the second is the right boat taken at Littlehampton,and the third is when Jardine had it and I think Mike Bontoft may have crewed it as well.Go to the back of the class that boy!

Oi! I hope you're not suggesting I posted the 3 pics without realising the first was not a Cig?

Jeesus, I may be 80 years younger than you (and Mike L), but I aint that daft.

Oi! have a little more respect for your elders you young whipper snapper or we will put you over our knee – one at a time - and give you a good smacking.

Nah, on reflection, I don't think we will because, knowing how weird you are you would probably enjoy it.

I`m sure the spelling isn`t correct in the title.

Yes,that brought a wry smile Mr.L

Here`s me thinking you have an alarm light on your computer Jonny the moment a new post is hammered out,when all along it takes several days to cotton on there`s some abuse on there for you.

I've heard about your 'preferences' mike, but really, in this day & age, you need to be careful what you publish! You can get punished these days for that stuff, I mean look at Gary G!

Heard that he may have another go at the CTC next year ?
