1220 'Hic' is a Proctor Mk X11 built by Bob Hoare and finished by her first owner. I cannot be sure in what year she was completed but it was probably 1961. 
Her first owner was recorded in the 1962 year book as N.A.J.Lee, Cedar Cottage, 68 St Margarets Street, Rochester, Kent and a member of Whitstable YC.
The 1964 yb shows her next owner as I. McIsaac, Dornie, 5 Woodvale Avenue, Chesterfield, Kent at the same club.
By 1967 she was at Hamble River SC in the ownership of C.N. Wallis, 6 Oakwood Close, Chandlers Ford, Hants.
The 1970 yb shows the owner as W.H.G.Hamilton, Park View Cottage, Fernhurst, Nr Haslemere, Surrey and the Royal Engineers YC.
I am sorry but the later year books in the 70's and early 80's don't show any further owners but she is first shown as a Mk1X in 1984.

Thank Tony, the builder's plate says "Hull by Hoare / Fittings by Lee"
