In August this year I sailed aboard Gladeye IV on a
week of adventurous training which was both great fun and at
times relatively challenging. At the end of the week we
were in Cowes and came across the previous Gladeye,
now owned by Lance Sergeant Mike Court, formerly Grenadier
Guards. We also found, moored up the Medina River a yacht,
currently called Joy of Hamble, which in a previous
life had also been Gladeye. Mike Court served on all
three yachts as the Bosun.
Many generations of Guardsmen have sailed on Gladeye
over the years, and the photo here captures her in three
guises, from the early 1970s to the present day.
