HI Roy,
I was a member of Paddy Freemans club in 1950 aged 5 my uncle Billy Hull used to have a straight runner amongst other boats I was also a member of Killingworth yacht club & the power boats I just sail at the Q2 or Hadston country park now
I agree with you about the poop at Killingworth & it is too near the play area kids feeding the duck when you are trying to sailing I will let you know next time I am going to the Q2
Regards
Bob
