The Admirals Cup, first presented in 1957, has become in the course of just over twenty years, the foremost sailing contest in the world. Consisting of the Channel Race during the first weekend of Cowes Week, originally two but now three races round the Solent and concluding with the Fastnet Race, it provides the most testing competition anywhere for ocean racing yachts and their crews. This painting depicts the second Morning Cloud, one of the three boats in the British Admirals Cup team which I captained in 1971, racing during the series.

Miscellaneous Extracts 106 2 19.3.76 INTRO: THE STOVOLD FAMILY IN SURREY I have searched many old church registers, both of Elstead and Farnham, of baptisms and marriages to trace the family history in Surrey. The name Stovold appears more than any other. I have only dealt with one branch which appears to be a direct male line. The last six generations contain the name Frederick and the dates of birth are fairly authentic. Earlier registers may refer to baptisms or dates of birth, it is not always clear. One Christian name, the same as the father’s, made things more difficult. The family could be of Scandinavian origin. It is thought they may have come over at the time of the Vikings in the Ninth Century and, in fact, before the First War my Great Uncle Percy traced the name back to the time of William the Conqueror.
