Hatasoo Time line
Andrew Bain Commodore of the RWYC 1988. The club sponsoring the class 17/19.
I have found mention of Hatasoo entering the arena of the 17/19's along with other new boats for the season. Daisy Bell and Pirouette from W.L.Watson. (North British Daily Mail May 9th 1894.
Hatasoo winning 100 out 113 starts in the first 4 seasons.
Royal Western Yacht Club 1888 first appearance of 17/19's racing in the minutes
The Hatasoo Basket Won by Hatasoo at the Mudhook Regatta in July 1894. Th trophy is now competed for by the Gareloch One Design Class.
In 1894 October 27 it was reported that Miss Downes, Mr Bains Niece, at the helm, competed in a Ladies race at the Clyde Corinthian Yacht Club . She was one of the first ladies to be allowed after they opened their doors to Women. The race referred to was in June 1894 with racing colours of Hatasoo being red with a horizontal stripe of blue through the centre. I have since found a great piece in the Glasgow Herald that I will publish on a different page that highlights the attitudes towards women and yachting at the latter part of the 1800's.
