A fine picture of a sprit sail yole taken late 50's or early 60's. I expect that John Budge will know the skipper and crew!

That will be the "Daisy" with old Willie Groat at the helm. Don't know the other two, but the chap standing up appears to be unconcerned, despite having no lifejacket and their being a good breeze of wind blowing.
