The founding father of the Club was Rear Admiral H H Rogers who served as the first Commodore from 1938 to 1953. His Cornish wife “Aggie” was a formidable sportswoman, representing Cornwall in golf, tennis and shooting, who also won many races in Falmouth in her 18 foot fixed keel gaff topsail cutter! Their son, Cecil, was a top class racing helmsman and the three of them virtually ran the Club in the early years as Commodore, Treasurer and Secretary respectively.

Another contributor in these early years was Major Pyne, known as “Maister”, who owned Gentle Jane, the house and beach on the estuary, from 1935 and lived there from 1940. He suggested the Club might like to use the beach for starting and finishing races and so Gentle Jane became the home of the Club for the first 14 years of its existence. http://www.rswsc.co.uk

About the Products

Charles Broadhurst was born in Birmingham on 22nd August 1903 but moved with his family to Oxford when he was very young. He did not realise his talent until a footballing injury gave him time to experiment with pencil and paper.

Now 90 years on, and just short of 100 images later, his sons are making his artistry available to the world at large. Not all images will be made available but the expectation is that the list available for purchase will eventually number close to 60.

In both A3 (297 x 420 mm, 11.69 x 16.54 inches, £15) and A4 (210 x 297 mm 8.27 x 11.69 inches, £10) sizes the prints available for sale are taken directly from the original pen and ink drawings, using the latest reprographic techniques.

Delivery is an additional £3.50 to anywhere in the world.
