This was all of twenty plus years back, the Traditional Boat Association was very much alive and well.
The place is the V&A Waterfront and we were hosted there for Easter.
That is Lynn and Larry Pardey's boat next to Sonnet.
The heart of the TBA was very much the members, the boats helped too of course.
This was after Notty had sold his Thirty Square, Sonnet to Mike Daly, Sonnet was on the RCYC slip and Mike asked was the boat for sale?
The deal was done there and then, later Tommy Walker restored Sonnet in a dry shed next to the RCYC main club house.
These were the people and times of the TBA.

Mike Daly on what was by then his very nice restored thirty square. The boat was locally built and was said not to quite measure to the class rules?
These were the people and times of the TBA.
