XOD 'X' One Design Centenary 2011
To all crews ~ If you don't see your boat in this gallery please enquire - I have many from this event in archive; many thanks Chris Boynton.
Congratulations to Overall winners of the XOD Centenary Regatta ~ Chris Froy, Andrew Shaw & Alan Roberts on Phoenix (Sail No. X186).
This year at Cowes Week celebrates the 100th anniverary of the X One Design with a record entry of 145 boats.
The X One Design was designed by Alfred Westmacott, who was Managing Director of Woodnutts Boatyard at St Helens on the Isle of Wight. He specialised in building small day racing boats and these included the Seaview Mermaid, Solent Sunbeam and Victory.
Racing first took place in Southampton Water in 1911 under the auspices of the MYC (later to become the Royal Motor Yacht Club). By the outbreak of the First World War some ten boats had been built.
Between the wars Divisions were established at Parkstone, Lymington, Itchenor and Hamble.
