Thomas, Rolf Vrolijk and Bruce Farr have once again found themselves answering questions about their Quarter Ton designs. The names of those competing today are just as illustrious and racing alongside Morty and Tony Dodd you will regularly fi nd the likes of Stuart Childerly, Jason Carrington, Kelvin Rawlings, Tim Powell, John Welch, John Newnham, Andy Beadsworth, Ian Southworth, John Greenwood, David Howlett and the legendary Roy Dickson (father of a young chap called Chris who is pretty handy in a boat too) to name but a few. In 2006 Coutts & Co came aboard as sponsor of the Coutts Quarter Ton Cup and they continue their involvement to this day. The fl eet has gone from strength to strength with more boats competing every year. The 2011 Coutts Quarter Ton Cup will again by hosted by the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club from its delightful Cowes clubhouse. Racing will take
place in the central Solent from 11 to 13 July and a record entry of over 40 teams is anticipated.
Because the Quarter Tonners were built to three very different rules over their history the boats very in size and speed considerably. Alongside the size disparity the fl eet is also divided into those boats that have been optimized for IRC and those that have been kept in “as original” condition by their owners. For the 2011 event there will be several new innovations to ensure that regardless of the size or age of the boat and the budget of the owner everyone will continue to enjoy outstanding competition and camaraderie at what has become one of the “must do” events of the season.
