Footnotes

JOLINA was built by Clare Lallow in 1956 for H Farrant Gillham to a design by Charles A Nicholson, similar, but larger than his earlier South Coast One Design. Gillham went on to own the other JOLINA's and finally ALCHEMY OF WIGHT. The design proved popular, rating around 22ft. under the current RORC rule and several examples were built in the late 1950's, early 1960's, some of which are represented here.
