1962 R.Fowler wins the National title at Brixham in 356 (Holt). The Dutch Class Association are allotted 100 Solo hull numbers, marking the beginning of their Solo growth. Solo 68 ‘Schnapps’ is raced by Shirley Tyler in Salcombe. The Tylers donated several trophies to the class, the three handled Tyler Trophy is still winnable at HISC and has Will Loy on it twice which thrilled my father. Another called the Portlemouth Trophy is fought for every year at the National Championship, it’s birthplace was of course where the Stones built their Solos. Shirley won the Vacher Cup three times, 1962-63-66, the cup itself donated by a chap in Dartmouth.
