A link from "Clyde Sailing" which certainly brings back memories for me. How my generation didnae all drown or die of hypothermia without 150N LJs, Musto HPX, and all the rest ...

Would be super if it would buffer. My link must be slow because it's like the wheel-tappers and shunters club.
Any way of getting it stored and displayed on a better viewer?

That's copyright, I doubt if the archive would let us host a copy - not for free anyway.
Here's some footage of Mylne yachts on the Clyde in the 1930s

Ditto mine. I recal sailing a Laser in the early 80's on News Year's Day.
I was wearing Jeans and a Blue pullover.
If someone let their kids sail like that nowadays they'd be taken into care!
