Sailing Magazine
by Richard Crockett
There is probably no one better than Hellmut Stauch to comment on the Sprog in the May 1957 “Sprog Log” issue as he was a top sailor in almost every class he sailed, plus he won the 1957 Sprog Nationals.
He specifically mentions Ralph Willcox, who at 8 years old at the time, sailed three races with this Maestro in the Nationals. I wonder whether Ralph, an avid supporter of this Blog, remembers the occasion?
It’s an interesting read accompanied by a hotch-potch of Sprog pics from yesteryear.
There is also reference to the “Gorps Guzzle” which I have written about previously. Do today’s “Sprogites” know about the “Gorps Guzzle”.
Please LIKE, SHARE and COMMENT, and remember that I am on the hunt for old Sprog Logs to complete my collection.
