Yachting and boating magazine world 1965

[Paula]

Hello. Im not sure if I'm in the right place or if anyone can help me. I am looking for an old issue of yachting and boating world for my Dad. He and his friend were in a race from Putney to Calais and there was a feature in the magazine and would love to find a copy. Has anyone got any ideas? Many thanks. P

This section of the forums is really for book recommendations, and is not read as much as the main forums. If you want the best chance of getting an answer, post in the Scuttlebutt forum here

It's also worth trying Boatmad. There are lots of racer and ex-racer types on there, including - I'm sure - several people who did the Putney to Calais and may have memorabilia. There's a Gallery section on there, which includes scans from some old magazines, and a couple of the members are keen archivists of old racing stuff.

PS: Do you mean Motor Boat and Yachting?

If you are refering to MB & Y then I have a lot of mid 60's (they were once a fortnight then I think), so give more details & I'll have a look
