this was an 18 hull with a 21 race deck modified to fit the 18 , it looked great ,i think it would have gone better if it had a yam on it . i dont think steve made any more than just that one .

It Made a mess.

The next morning I was met by them with very bad heads and introduced to a chap in a wheelchair that used to successfully race Fletchers (Name escapes me now) who took one look at my mangled aluminium ski prop, laughed himself silly, disappeared for a moment and came trundling back with a silk lined mahogany box and presented me his prop saying he would just love to see it used again.

Usual proviso. ding it and it's yours. Cue me never having used a cleaver before banging into the first buoy from the start boat with full trim on and leaving the whole fleet behind as they couldn't see feck all Cost me a few beers that one.

Won the basic and gave Peter and Clive a good run for their money coming in third with them stating that knowledge of local conditions obviously played a huge part

Felt absolutely and totally fecked and then had it explained that kidney belts were not a bad idea.

Rough? To you boys maybe, just another day on the water for us Southend boys

Thanks for that Jon, maybe these people will work out whereit came from in the first place and where it is now. A puzzle for the start of 2009.

Alan Leyton actually sold that Phantom to me.

I stupidly sold it to Scott Hodges, to buy a Crusader 19. Scott raced it a few times before selling it on to somebody who was going to convert it for leisure use. In Wales I think....

Wish I had kept it.

So was it Goldstar (Shirley Hall's boat) in its original incarnation?

That would then make it the only P18 Racedeck.

It wasn't that good against the P16's at the '93 worlds at Allhallows.

Graham.

You are correct Graham, it was not very good against the P16, in 93AND NITHER WAS THE ARGO CATS IN 91 FOLKSTONE WORLDS. At the end of the day the P16racedeck and open deck were a good boat.

What do you mean were a good boat. The P16 is still a good boat, fairly quick, but not a hand full. Probably the best boat to start racing in, in my opinion. I should know I started racing ocr as a driver in 93 in a P16.

Anyone here remember Fowey 83? was incredible.

Drivers brief along the lines of "The big stuff have cancelled but the public need entertaining... who's up for it" cue a fleet of ocr racing with only 5 finishers and a shed load of scrap in the harbour

Being one of them home, the next race was parting company time for the hull and floor in my p16

I remember Fowey 1983 pretty well, I raced with Alan Webb in Cruiser Class against Mike Lloyd and David Graham Smith. (Strange bunch! I wonder what they are up to these days?!)
'84 my Dad and Simon Wood Power rolled their raceboat over after trying to win the race overall in a 19' mono - Dad had rented a house in Fowey that weekend, SWP invited everyone back for an after race party, not before he made "This Way Up" posters everywhere!
