1990 Will Loy took on the editor role, 3723 was the newest build, Mike Barnes became Class President, Carveth beat 112 competitors at Oxford to win the Inlands in solo 3252 again and the NSCA reported 723 new or returning members. Severn sailboats were about to produce their first grp solo from a mould they built. They had previously utilised the original omega mould. Severn’s Graham bond would campaign solo 3700, a wood build before they implemented the shape into the new build. A rule change to allow sheathed foils with either laminated or solid wood was rejected 29 votes to 21 at the agm. The Jade Marine/Duffin package won the national Championship at abersoch (solo 3726), Carveth, hunt and falcon completing a marvel hero podium. Incidentally, I had a moment or two of glory which was wrecked by an OCS, so setting a trend I would follow for the next three decades.
Helen falcon won the vacher cup in 3615, a Beckett. Mark tigchelaar won the world title in medemblik
Rowell and Morrison built their first and only solo for Peter Hammond, 3733 ‘red alert’ setting a new benchmark for craftsmanship.
