Thank you very much to all who entered. In an attempt to avoid too many people getting 100%, I was afraid that I had made it too difficult, however there was only one question that was not answered correctly by anyone.

Here are the answers:

The one most people had difficulty with was Wells SC. AliM thought it was Recreational Boating Association of Washington DC ! This is an easy mistake however the RBAW flag is square and has a yellow reef knot! Additionally it is in Washington State and not DC, therefore on the WEST coast!

Blackwater Sailing Club was also tricky as it is the only one that did not have the burgee on their website. However I had include it as my father is a member there.

Part 3.

51. Where is this?

Looking toward Northey and Osea Islands from Heybridge Basin.

I took the photo when planning my route out of the lock. I draw 2m and am fairly sure the furrow in the mud on line from green buoy to the withies was made by me on way in.



52 & 53. What class is this and where on the East Coast are they sailed?

Hamble Star – On the East Coast, sailed at Erith YC

http://www.erithyachtclub.org/NS-Stars/HambleStar.php



54 & 55. I know it’s a Thames Barge but which one is she and in which year was she built?

Spritsail Barge – Cambria, Built 1906 by William Everard, Greenhithe

http://www.shipshapenetwork.org.uk/regions.php/1/thames-estuary/vessel/245/cambria



56 & 57. What class is this and who designed it?

Sprite. Designed by Robert N Stone in 1934.

http://blackwatersailingclub.org.uk/spriteclass.co.uk/



58 & 59. This is sail number 7 of this class. What is she and how many were built after her?

East Coast One Design (ECOD). This is Wizard, No 7 of 10. Therefore 3 built after her.

http://www.eastcoastonedesign.com/page5.htm

Designed by G U Laws as the Royal Corinthian One Design. Ten were built in total by Kings of Burnham on Crouch, 1-9 between 1913-1914 and the tenth in 1937. The name change to East Coast One Design was supposed to encourage the take up of the class by other yacht clubs.



60 & 61. What Class is this? And in what way did it proceed the Flying Dutchman?

12 Square Metre Sharpie. Two man dinghy at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, before the introduction of the Flying Dutchman for the 1960 games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_at_the_1956_Summer_Olympics



62 & 63. What is this design and what is the connection to the following picture?

The class is the Wivenhoe One Design.

The second part is the stinker that nobody got. The picture is the pub sign on the Black Buoy Inn in Wivenhoe. It was here, on 18th March 1935, that the design was formally adopted by Wivenhoe Sailing Club.

http://www.wivenhoeone.co.uk/home/history-1



64 & 65. What is the connection between this yawl and the ‘Lord Of the Rings’?

The yawl is ‘Duet’. She is run by the Cirdan Trust. Cirdan was the shipwright in the ‘Lord Of the Rings’ trilogy.
Other Cirdan Trust Vessels are Queen Galadriel and Faramir.

http://cirdantrust.org/history/



66. Where is this?

The Western Pier at Nieuwpoort, Belgium.



67 & 68. Clearly not taken on the East Coast, but what is the location and what is the link to an East Coast river?

I made this a bit more difficult than it might have been by removing the sail logo. This has been glued back above.

The location is Loch Long and the class is Loch Long One Design. See: http://www.covesc.org.uk/

Other than in Scotland, the class is sailed by Aldeburgh YC on the River Alde.

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Fantastic effort Dennyjc!

Superb quiz Geoid... Thoroughly enjoyed it... And darn... Talked myself out of the Sharpie answer!!!

 

[dennyjc]

The clear winner by several lengths and with an impressive score of 62 out of 68 was Dennyjc. Many Congratulations.

Wow what a surprise, I've not had time to prepare a speech
but I'd like to thanks the writers and the producers - Geoid
My lovely wife for her help and support, my mother and father
and, of course, my geography teacher Mrs Martindale
little could she have known, all those years ago . . . . etc etc

 

[AliM]

Well done, Dennyjc, brilliant effort,

I have your prize. Would you like a formal presentation at an ECF do, or shall I find you somewhere else to hand it over.

And thanks again, geoid96, I really enjoyed it!

 

[pks1702]

Well done Colin :encouragement:

 

[Jan Harber]

Many thanks geoid for setting the quiz so admirably. Those darned Dardanelles, they completely eluded me... and I should have done better with the one-designs considering my dad wrote a book about them...forgot about the Sprite...
thanks again, Jan

 

[TimfromMersea]

I got the WOD as my father in law had one, but completely missed the Black Buoy pub sign, even though I live in Wivenhoe. Great fun - thanks for the quiz.
