History
This early 1951 car top dinghy was designed by Jack Holt for Yachting World in 1950. It was purchased as a kit for home-build by Mr John Rapson. It was given the sail number 1 by Ruislip Sailing Club and eventually by the Heron Association. It was purchased by Mr G Cull in 1966 and presented to the Museum in 2003. December 2007
