Guernsey Festival 1990 pics

[cfun]

Found these loose in a box so assume they are still from the 90 event ... Jf if Poss, and I know it may be a pain, but can this thread be re-named ... Guernsey festival 1990 pics as when I posted the 1st pics I could not remember the precise year, hence my original title for the thread ... I thought it may help anyone later searching for pics to come across

Many many thanks JF, that makes the thread title exactly what it is

Great pics, I have a collection of racing shots from 90 in one large frame in my lounge.
Reminds me of the great racing plus what the Island looks like when the sun is out- unlike now

1st pic Crossley an aluminium 3c boat at the start of the race (hang on lads), built and designed on the Isle Of Wight I believe, there were a few racing back then and they conquered 3c quite well in the rough, rummer had it one was turned into a rib after its racing career ended,
2nd pic another 3c boat a Cougar cat, 3rd pic a 30' cruiser class Flying Flipper, this one Shytalk No 69 appears to be inboard engined so not sure if it can be the same one that had outboards on for the RB08

That was my dad John Boddy - navigator, sadly he passed away in 2022 and I've been searching for pictures to show my son (now 11) how cool his grandad was so thank you
