This year an old shed on the Essex marshes will be decked in bunting celebrating its centenary as the HQ of the North Fambridge Yacht Club, the meeting place of many old hands from Yachting Monthly. They include Maurice Griffiths, editor for more than 40 years; Mike Peyton, the world-famous yachting cartoonist; and, almost forgotten in the mists of time, prolific contributor F. B. Cooke.
