There are some 11 boats in our sportsboat fleet .
|
|
Black Pearl
James Hudson's Seven 23 one-off is currently undergoing modification to improve its sea keeping qualities to cope with the conditions off Scarborough, much to the delight of the local Lifeboat crews, some of who crew for him.
|
 |
Blue Rusher
Sam Usher's Hunter 707 is sailed occasionaly when Wykeham Lakes and offshore crewing commitments permit.
|
|
|
Humdinger
The Wild Bunch of SYC, Humdinger is sailed hard and fast to great effect. Glyn Simpson is one of the keenest proponents of the 707 and is constantly pushing for one design status.

|
Joker in the Pack
Robin Gray is often seen out with his sons and Nick Taylor striving to get the best out of the 1720's blistering pace, often with spectacular results especially with the big kite up!
|
|
|
Maverix
Rudi Barman's modified Soling is currently up for sale, hopefully to be replaced by another 707. The enthusiasm and commitment shown by Rudi and his crew bodes well for the future of SYC
|
|
|
Nemo
Following from the success shown by his fathers Sonata, Bee Sharp, Mike Turner is as competitive as ever with dad still on the helm. The J80 is often at the head of the fleet and always a force to be reckoned with
|
 |
Scarborough Fair IV
David Ibbotsons 707 is not seen as often as we would like due to his location in Cornwall, a long drive for a sail! However whenever he is out she proves difficult to beat, as was proven at the 707 Northerns which he won convincingly last year.
|
|
|
Second Fiddle
Anthony is the third generation of the Dearden dynasty to sail out of Scarborough and the wealth of experience gleaned here and on the south coast makes him a wily opponent.
|
 |
Shere Khan
Bruce Temples First Cass 8 is one of the fastest improving boats in the fleet, the young crew being moulded into a competent unit and the results keep getting better, watch this space.
|
 |
Sin Bin
The grand old men of the fleet, Richards Plowright and Littlewood and their team of Saga louts are still competitive, the experience gleaned from many years in dinghies being particularly effective on the start line and at mark roundings.
|
 |
Weird Fish
Darren Blackburn's Isis 21 shows bursts of amazing speed which his new crew, the brothers Kennedy are keen to capitalise on, should be an interesting season.
