Archive for 1967 Nationals

Hi all,
I am putting together a record of all the National events that have taken place at Hickling Broad Sailing Club.

The only record that is missing is that for the 1967 BMBA Nationals, which according to the 70th Anniversary book was won by N.Blake. I really want to obtain more detail, actual dates, number of entrants etc.

I have tried to contact Tina via the link in the contacts section but it does not seem to connect.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Did you get the information you were after?

I didn't respond at the time because I thought I had discarded my old moth stuff, but I have just turned it up now. I have the Programme and Sailing Instructions and my sailing club's (Littleton S C) report on the championship which understandably majors on the 3 Littleton entrants.

I can't find any fleet list or race by race details in the 1968 newletters or fixture lists, which is a shame, because the details were reported after the 1968 and 1969 championships.

For the record, the dates were 31st August to 3rd September, and according to the Littleton write-up there were 40 entrants.

As you say, Nigel Blake won (as a non-moth sailor, in a borrowed boat!), and I think that Paul Fisher may well have been 2nd, as he seemed to be ahead of me most of the time.

If you are interested, I could scan the documents and email them to you
