Yacht Designer Mornington Crescent

[Mark-1]

The pot zone defence was ruled out of order years ago. The convention of Montevideo I recall.

I'd forgotten but you're quite correct, I'm still new to the game - haven't totally assimilated all the rules yet.

The river-plate annex more precisely, which formalised both the Convention of Montevideo and the Buenos Aires memorandum. ?

Could she be Fryderyk Chopin? Although on Chopin the masts do not appear to have as much rake (?)

I have just discovered this book in my collection, according to Admiral Sir Frederick Bedford GCB, a player disqualified under the Dover Harmonic Constant rule (rule 72 clause 2) for a repeated breach of the Montevideo Convention may be allowed to return to the game if willing to adopt the Crown & Anchor Restitution, three throws of the 'bones' are allowed, if a Full House is thrown on any of the three attempts the player is allowed to re-enter, however as the EW Cooke variation is later than this 1903 edition this rule may by now have been superseded

Bedford is an aknowledged bounder and cad. He was thrown out of his ward room and black balled at Boodles. This site cannot offer any semblance of respectability to the blackguard

Gwylan, #106, Bedford sounds just the sort of rogue that would excel at Mornington Crescent and to be competent enough to write a rule book for the game.

Found missing in early August 1914 only to be arrested in a flop house in West Brunswick in late 1923 travelling under the pseudonym Alfredo il Maggiore. The book should be burned!

A truly remarkable character, to be arrested in 1923, 10 years after his death, shows the true ‘stiff upper lip’ of the British naval officers.

As was the rest of him - 'stiff'.

I'm going to use the triple lock manoeuvre, Jens Quorning...

 

[AngusMcDoon]

In straitened economic times, however, we might have to downgrade to the double lock instead, Darren Newton...

I don’t know the designer but JMW Turner photographed her returning from a tough Cowes Week?

I haven't played for a while but I believe a Stbd Wally with a Brett negates a diagonal
