Rare 1980's TV Programme of "Top Sailing" featuring "Jez Phipp" from the "AND Magazine TV Show", crewing on the sail trials of 1930's J Class Yacht "Velsheda"
As a write Velsheda is in Falmouth UK, and what a sight she is. I remember this film being shown on TV in the late 70's and the one thing I remember was the lifting of the mast over the houses. To think now J's are restored regardless of cost. Great film thoroughly enjoyed it.
when my dad a a charge had rigger with GEORGE DURANTE the yard rigger /bosun a THE SOUTHAMPTON the CAMPER and NICHOLSONS YARD in Southampton HARRY SPENCER WAS A APPRENTICE WITH THEM BACK IN THOSE DAYS
Saw her in mud berth up the Hamble in the 60’s. Fab. Such lines.
