First tow was a Sprite Alpine behind a Capri 1.6 petrol in 1971.

4 up with the inlaws of to France with a short stop at relatives in Devon and then the Plymouth to Roscoff ferry and a short hop to La Baule in Brittany. All went well apart from running out of gas only 2 small Calor butane and battery acid spilt on the floor - don't ask great holiday which we now do every year but for 4 weeks rather than the first 2 weeks.

The return trip was a bit of a problem. As we approached Roscoff we picked up the shipping forecast that gave force 8 to 10 gales in the channel. Pretty rough crossing but we booked a cabin and escaped the worse of the sick in the rest of the ship.

Never looked back since.
