PHOTO: Uh oh, could there already be a boat called a ‘Torch’?

Bruce Kirby re-branded his Laser boat as the Torch,  but could there already be a boat with that name?

The photo above shows on the left what we have learned to be a boat of the same name, and on the right to be Kirby’s boat.

Steve Pyatt scanned these images from the 1974 edition of Sailing Dinghies…

The two sail Torch was designed by Bert Keeble, who passed away on December 2008.
