The youngest of five brothers, he was studying medicine when the 1914-1918 war began. Chris became a sail maker and who, in due course, took over the direction of Ratsey and Lapthorn Sailmakers. He successfully raced in the Prince Of Wales Cup and owned Harrier which he cruised and raced. His pride and joy was the sleek and beautiful Evenlode designed for him by Fife. In her he won the RIR in 1938 and again in 1947.
