25th BIRTHDAY PARTY


Classic Boat celebrates its fi rst quarter-century


We ought to know how to push the boat out – and on 28 March we proved it with our 25th anniversary party at the the Royal Thames Yacht Club in Knightsbridge. Our ‘local’ yacht club – it’s just up the road from CB’s Sloane Street offi ces – was the venue for a champagne evening, attended by mnore than a hundred friends of the magazine –


contributors, boat-builders, maritime heritage representatives and readers.


Guests included Tall Ship designer, Colin Mudie, Martyn Heighton of National Historic Ships, restorer Greg Powlesland, boatbuilder Dave Cockwell, Paul Spooner of Fairlie Restorations and many others. Editor Dan Houston raised a glass


to our fi rst quarter-century, and toasted the next 25 years: “We’re still going from strength to strength, with a readership that spans the world’s major yachting centres.”
