MuzzaB 14 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just for fun. In my ongoing quest to scan and archive hundreds of old photos I came across a snapshot of Auckland I took from Musick Point in 1977. In the bottom of the photo there happened to be a Flying Ant, sail number 289. Attached is an extracted enlargement - but still fuzzy and small. I may have known who it was at the time, but have no clue now. I know some others here on Crew used to sail FAs as a kid (as did I). Anyone recognize the sail number? My guess is that it was part of the Glendowie fleet which was reasonably strong at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot749 28 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Murray I had 276, at GBC . My recall says 289 was from Howick, Taylor’ family ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MuzzaB 14 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 That rings bells. Andrew Taylor. Could be. I seem to remember a young Rohan Lord sailing an FA at Howick too, by which time I was in a Starling or maybe a Europe - but that would have been a couple of years later.
