Frosty's Lightweight Sharpie history.

The following info was collected by me and from other Sharpie sailors and is an ongoing project. I hope that you can help me.
Where the info wasn't from my own programmes etc, I have credited those sailors.

I am trying to collect as much Sharpie history before we are all dead, then it doesn't really matter.
