    I posted a pdf of Brian Platt's article with permission of the owner of that site and also of Anthony Platt some time ago. The article is here and was mentioned in the New Articles list.

    Hugely  interesting, this, and well worth going back to. Bearing in mind that it was written in 1960, when Blondie Hasler was rigging Jester for the first solo transatlantic, I wonder whether each knew of the other, and if so, what correspondence there was between them?
