Old ski racing photos

So you think those are old Water Ski Racing Photos?

New to the thread. Enjoy some really old British and European Ski Race photos from the 1970s. See if you can put names, places, dates to faces, races and boats.

Note....none of this hands behind back wrapped skiing back then! We were tough with strong backs forged through skiing all through winter in the wilds of the North Sea!

Wah! Paul Sleeman. Great to hear from you. So, so long since I saw you. Must be almost 50 years! How are you? Still living in Cardiff?

What a memory Paul! Well done. I had forgotten about Alan Fisher but I think you got the others spot on! By the way, my brother is Neil, not Neal, but still great memory after 50 years!
 
I think this last posts exhaust my Italian Skier and Italian Ski Race Boat pictures that I have to date. It includes a picture of Bruno Cassa in the foreground) and me at the start of the Briish GP in Penarth Wales in 1974. A start of over 70 boats!! Those were the days!
 
74 boats Sir Paul, I was in the grid close to pier, in Peak a Boo 21 Avenger, pulling Jeff price with Wayne Humphries driving. First leg was out past the cardiff middle bell and thst meant crossing the massive sand bank

Probably over 25 years ago. I moved to Hong Kong over 43 years ago and over time my parents, brother and sister moved south to places like Whitstable and Salisbury. Never had a need since then to go "up north". Anyway, Hartlepool Yacht Club as we knew it is gone now.
