1994 Graham Scott developed the Wavelength rig and won the Nationals and Inlands in the 3840 (Thresher). Richard Sydenham wins the turnbull trophy in solo 3847 ‘top drive’ (Beckett). Nigel Young at Hood sails starts developing a Solo sail utilising untapped battens, Kevlar and Mylar materials and also goes on to incorporate tri-radial designs that made the rig more versatile. Jim Hunt wins the World Trophy (Brouwershaven) in a Severn Composite 3907 and his own sail. Barry green is the magazine editor and Geoff carveth wins his second endeavour trophy. Ken falcon somehow had three solos in his stable, 3315, the all conquering lovett, 3615, the Beckett and 3760, a thresher. All with great pedigree and the dilemma of which two to sell must have been a wrench. You could buy barry’s thresher 3754 (below) with all the bells and whistles for £2950. An absolute bargain when you see how fastidious the green family were with their bimbling. A rule proposal to allow grp/frp case and transom to be cladded in wood was rejected but the use of epoxy fillets in the construction process was carried.
