Hey Graham this is great! You still have 1000's of photo's that I want to see! Where did you get the Alitalia shot? Just keep 'em coming gramps.
And by the way Graham the original prints (I still have about 5!) were pretty good - it's just that these were as I say straight from the neg's that I still have. Even though they are in sleeves they just deteriorate and get damaged over time I guess.

Alitalia shot

Scanned from an enprint somebody gave Don.I haven`t many B & W negs.This was in my boy snapper era with a practika and prinz galaxy 300mm from Dixons.We all have to start somewhere.Some of the shots are from Daily Express photos collected at the time that were sculling around the D.O. at Vosper.In actual fact there is a boxload of B & W prints at Basilidon that have never seen the light of day,but for someone to scan them is asking something.

Found some old stuff recently including this centre spread from the Daily Express 1976.
It was my second CTC albeit in the smaller classes, we lost a prop and rertired but I do remember Gentry coming up the Solent waving to all as he thought he had won!

Ctc 76 Scrut

Depends what you mean by the original Gee.The one in the pic is the one built for the Monte Carlo race in 1972.Previous Gee`s were a Donzi and a Jim Wynne designed souter built craft.
The patrol boat is the Keith Nelson boat which I think had KN75 as a pennant number.

Went there recently, afraid the scanner wasn't working... So i took some "photos of the photos"!

As you can see, the results aren't too good (which is why they fit the "Crummy old shots" thread so well..) apologies for the glare, etc

Noticed there weren't many pictures of the really famous or fast boats... could they have been "borrowed" on a permanent basis by persons unknown?!

You may observe that those that i did take snaps of, have a slight bias towards Magnum hulls... forgive me... and a nice one of what i think is the '68 CTC... Graham?

Basildon pics

Those pics have come out OK Ian.The first two have been in the comics,but the last two are new to me.
I reckon that damn Nige has jumped a jet to stansted and scooped the B & W prints up back to his squirrels hideaway in Spain!
Snoopy - 1971
Rolling Start -1968

Obtaining stills?

Desperation for detailed pics of MMT's deck led me to take these... with similar results!

Graham, is there any way of taking reasonable stills from the films?

Was just wondering... hope you don't mind.

I have some "pictures of pictures" that were in MB & Yachting at the Basildon Museum ...i'll post them on the "Sad" thread!

Films To Stills

I have done this in the past where the media player had facilities to capture stills.It wasn`t bad if you had a high quality DVD to start with,but those Super 8 films it looks like you have been trying on, are not good for that purpose.I just can`t remember the software details that I used at the time,which is annoying.
