His pioneering aluminium mast designs also revolutionised the sport of sailing.〔 Proctor had more than one hundred designs to his credit, from which 65,000 boats were built.〔A conservative estimate given that the Topper Class Association (http://www.itcaworld.org) states that almost 50,000 have been produced; the UK Wayfarer Class Association (http://www.wayfarer.org.uk) mentions over 10,000; the Wikipedia Gull article shows sail numbers over 2,500; National 12 Class Association (http://www.national12.org/boats/index.php) identifies over 3500; the Wanderer Class Association (http://www.wanderer.org.uk/) has sail numbers beyond 1600 and Kestrels (see http://www.hartleylaminates.co.uk/) have sail numbers over 1500〕 Some of his designs are listed below. ==Early life and education== Proctor was a son of Douglas McIntyre Proctor and Mary Albina Louise Proctor (née Tredwen).〔 He was educated at Gresham's School in Holt, Norfolk.〔''I Will Plant Me a Tree: an Illustrated History of Gresham's School'' by S.G.G. Benson and Martin Crossley Evans (James & James, London, 2002) p. 39〕〔''The History and Register of Gresham's School, 1555-1954'' (Ipswich, 1955)〕 After leaving school, he studied at the University of London.〔 In 1943, he married Elizabeth Anne Gifford Lywood, the daughter of Air Vice-Marshal O.
