Another Cowes Torquay, but what's the year?

With CTC in the headlines this weekend, here's a photo I took earlier, erm, much earlier,

and while your thinking back, where's this?

and a third, what's the name of the pub 25 metres from my boat?

and Snail you're excluded, too much local knowledge.

Powerboat Satisfaction won 1980's CTC, no idea the answers to 2 & 3

The Pub .....

Could be the Vectis Tavern, Pier View or the long since forgotten Britannia

correct, 245 nm in a little over 3 hrs averaging 79 point something an hour.

it's the Britannia that I spent a lot of time in, cowes week and CTC weekend the landlord used to remove all the tables and chairs and the floor was awash with spilt booze. even though we were mainlanders, for many seasons it was our local, and always tried to make it on January the first every year just to be the first.

Great memories for me that pub!
