1980s Designs
The Ellway 4 was a moderate interpretation
of the 1984 rules, and pretty much state of the art at the time.
Rebel, the only Howlett built, was always
notorious as a light airs flyer that struggled in true planing
conditions. However the boat did win one National Championships,
albeit a light airs event.
The Deeley 5 was intended to combine the
bow sections of the Worlds winning modified Murray with the stern
sections of Bill's earlier Mk 3. It was probably the quickest
of the first generation of new rules designs, which used the rise
of floor rule to the maximum, and so had much higher chines at
mid length than were used on the later designs.
A moderate development of the Deeley Mark
5, which was fast but difficult to sail well, the Mk 6 was probably
never sailed to best advantage.
The First "Narrow Flat" design, the
Fartpants was something of a step forward as the first UK design
that really kept up with the ex Worlds winner Flat Stanley in
the majority of conditions.
A breakthrough design, faster than anything
before in almost all conditions. The first Bistro, Norwegian Blue,
won several successive National Championships, numerous major
UK handicap events, and was the top UK boat in the 1996 World
Championships.
