Carlyle, Mr.
1949
Weekly races opened on 25 May. The Sunbeam class was joined by Melody (Paul & Miss J. Holman) and Painted Lady (Mrs. N. Greville Williams), both boats having belonged previously to the Solent Sunbeam class.
At the beginning of the season the two most successful boats were H. J. Silley's Caprice, steered by Mr. Carlyle, and Mr. J. F. B. Gage's Dawn, steered by Mr. L. West [Leonard West], a member of a well-known family of local boatmen.
