1970 The Dutch take the titles back to the Netherlands, J. Lucas winning at Holyhead in H 277 ‘Ponem’, a Schackenbosch build while compatriot werkhoven wins the youth title.

Interest in the Solo is strong across the UK and Holland as grp production becomes available though it would not establish itself as a viable alternative for a couple of years. Stone builds the majority of Solos in this year, 1370 ‘winsome’ would prove a very fast boat. Industrial fibreglass start grp production along with slaters marine and Holt.
