Quiet Davis!
If little Pete sees this, there's a pic of 'Privateer' in this first shot, many moons ago.

This one shows 'Fays one' leading both of Pete Armstrongs 28 Phantoms 'BRUT' (one yellow, one white, Chris's & Rory's now) and 'Debenhams'.

I would think 1990 with pics 1 and 4 looking suspiciously like Guernsey.

Upon closer inspection of pic 4, me guessing that it was Guernsey seems a bit redundant.

OK, there are three characters in the Cowes shot that are pretty well known, a couple of which are still active racers today, who can spot/name them?

Chris (as you've already mentioned) is on board McCavity with John Davey. Could that be Fiona Pascoe just behind them?
Lower right I believe is the bow of John Baker's 38 Cougar 'Flippin Eck' and it looks like the back of Rob Andrew's head aboard 'Privateer'.

Could it be Jonathan Lucas on the bow of Rob's boat? I think the fellow behind Rob could be Nigel Williams who was involved in a nasty incident aboard the 36'Bonito 'Fly Navy around 96/97.
I imagine the obvious answer to the person in navigator's position aboard 'Brut 33' would be Ian Orford. The hairstyle looks right but the body looks wrong.
The ones near Chris?

Yeah, correct on all counts, you have a enormous knowledge of yesteryears racing scene, what is your connection?
Bloke to chris's direct right is 'Clever Trevor', who's worked for many teams etc, inc Stuart Raven, Chuck Burnett, Victory team, and now Solent Honda.
Bloke in blue to the left is Bill Bonner, of Bonner engines fame (Macavity, Supercat etc)
