1985 Round the Britain and Ireland race: DNF/??, Jock SMITH
From Facebook 2020, Hugo Plokker "Thumblehome with (1st) owner Jock Smith and mate Doug Ellis (Hustler 32 Rainbow) in 1985 passing Selsey Bill. They run the Round the Britain and Ireland race but the mast broke. In Ireland they bought a second hand mast with which they sailed back to the River Orwell.
We meet them when we sailed our newly purchased Hustler 32 home from Helford River to Hellevoetsluis Holland".
