I have been doing some work on that great sailor Prebon Tullet
I am amazed that there is so little about him on the web and am thinking of writing his life story
I wondered if any of you YBW forumites could add anything to what is known about his life. I have discovered that his whole family history is threaded through that of this great seafaring nation.
One of his ancestors was captain on the third ship to pass through the gap in the French Line at Trafalgar - he would have gone onto a glittering career had it not been for what has come to known as the Rocna affair.
Another was with Shackleton.
It turns out that it was his brother Mullet Tullet who was the Enterprise National champion in 1965.
Then of course there was the Fastnet Scandal and the unfortunate incident in the 1987 Americas cup.
I wondered if you chaps could help me to flesh out the story. Personal anecdotes of dockside or race course encounters would be wonderful and if any of you have any dusty old texts on your bookshelves that could throw some light on this illustrious and unsung family and its wealthy scion who now finds himself sponsoring the London Mobo Show
