Can You Help with Information on the Tope Fishers' Club or "Seran" Colin Davies wonders whether you can help him? He is researching a motor yacht called Seran built in 1926. She was commissioned by Charles Clare Regnart who was a keen seaangler with a particular focus on tope.
He was a member of the Margate Fishing Club pre WWI and was a member of the Tope Fishers' Club and possibly the Thresher Shark Fishers' Club with Captain E E Yeats in the late 1930's.
There is further info on C C Regnart on Seran's website at www.seran1926.com
If you can help further to the information in this article, please contact Colin Davies through his website or through us at Angling Heritage. Read more... |
