| 2028.1 | There's a used 470 in my back yard | VOYAGR::SAMPSON | Driven by the wind | Mon May 10 1993 13:32 | 10 |
| The class chairperson, or whatever the title might be, is Alan
Beckwith, who lives somewhere in Ma.. I don't have the info Handy, but
I know I have it somewhere. I also have a 470 I haven't sailed much
since I bought my S2. The boat needs some cleaning and wants a new
mast, which is the major reason I haven't used it in so long. I sort of
don't like the idea of parting with it, but it would be better fixed up
and used than parked under a tarp.
God, that boat was so much fun!!!

| Geoff,
I tried to reach Alan Beckwith in Allston, MA yesterday, but his phone has
been disconnected. So if anyone knows his new whereabouts or another
contact, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

| 2028.3 | Class contacts and a manufacturer | MILKWY::SAMPSON | Driven by the wind | Mon May 17 1993 13:50 | 30 |
| Hi Peter,
Sure enough this months Sailing World was the Olympic issue and the
class chairman for the 470 class has changed. I also stumbled across an
add for Vanguard, who made my 470, and thought that might be another contact.
So here's the info I got, I hope it is of some help.
Class contacts;
Men
James Appel
38 Arundel rd.
Annapolis, Md. 21401
410/267-6827
Women
Allison Jolly
3440 Knoxville ave.
Long Beach, Ca.
310/420-2588
And if you want to try something closer to home a manufacturer is in Bristol
R.I.
Vanguard Racing Sailboats
16 Peckham Dr.
Bristol, R.I. 02809
401/254-0960
I hope this helps,
Good luck in getting a boat!

| It's also mentioned in Sailing World or Sailing (forget which)
that you can get two kinds of 470--the normal lightweight
competition one and a more sturdy version that has something
like 35 pounds more fibreglass in it to make it more suitable
for club and other non-competition use.
