English Classic 14 fleet launching at Blakeney. Chris Dunster's Proctor V, K 859, is the middle 14 with the low-I rig, 943 Distress is owned by Edward Allen, and 935 is Sea Witch sailed by James Vaughan. (Both KIV designs).
Brit Chris Dunster, who owns a Wyche and Coppock Proctor V, sends along this photo of four English Classic 14's and a short review of the English Classic 14 racing scene:
"Classics in the UK, when I first got involved, 1993, there were several Open Meetings around the country but now only Blakeney near me on the North Norfolk Coast and Rickmansworth near London, there are other events held for "Classic Dinghy Classes" but Allcomers rather than for a single class of boat."
It turns out the Chris Dunster's Wyche and Coppock Proctor V is an ex-Jeremy Pudney 14 and was modified with a wider, flatter transom. Here is another English, all varnished, Wyche and Coppock Proctor V, circa mid-1960's.
