In 73 campaigned a Norlin 34, which we collected from the factory in Sweden and sailed home to Scotland. The Norlin was widely campaigned including Fair Isle, Cowes Week and Fastnet races. Took part in the classic S.O.R.C. in Florida.

In 74, campaigned a One Tonner designed by Ron Holland (I think only Ron's third design). The hull was built in Ireland by Ron Holland and John McWilliam, the well-known sailmaker, and fitted out in Glasgow. Events included the One Ton Cup, Cowes Week and Fastnet races.

In 75, campaigned a Ron Holland ¾ Tonner. Again this boat was campaigned extensively and included the Worlds at Hanko. Once again competed in the S.O.R.C and Newport - Bermuda races.

In 76, sailed with Alan Milton in the Contention 33 'Pepsi', winning our class in Tomatin Series.

In 78, campaigned a '101' in which we won many events including the Offshore Championship and 2nd in the National Championships at Brighton.

During the seventies was involved in deliveries such as Bermuda to Lymington in War Baby (ex 12 metre American Eagle), (Tony Castro was in the crew), and many others from the U.K. to the Med.

Throughout this decade, apart from sailing, several yachts were marketed in Scotland including the very successful Ballad, Scampi and Vegas from Sweden.

In 1979 took part in Cowes Week and the very sad Fastnet Race. Sailing with Alan Milton on the Swan 39 'Pepsi' we lost our rudder and were eventually towed into Kinsale.
