Thanks to all who travelled to Draycote TT :!: . Despite the wind conditions it turned out to be a very competitive and technical days sailing , looking at George's photo's I think as a fleet we are all programmed to study those tell tales - we must be well schooled - Thanks Nick :lol: The second mo...

All,
just incase you miss Erling's posting , the event at Draycote this Saturday is cancelled due to the adverse weather conditions . We hope to reschedule the event within the next few weeks but that will depend upon weather and previously booked events .
Keep you posted
Cheers
Derek.

George , you are not the only one with more snow than you can shake a stick at , here in Coventry its sledging weather :!: Last year we had the frost to contend with , this year could be memorable for the snow . Lets hope we don't have to clear the pitch before the match :lol: An ice skating sailing...

Happy new year to all Sprint 15'ers , it would be great to see you at Draycote on Saturday . The weather looks great , warn and windy :roll: If you are coming make sure you bring something to protect your soft fruit snack :lol: We are planning to sail two races back to back to allow travellers time ...

Firstly Peter ( Leapy ) I am pleased to hear that your egg has shrunk but sorry that your head is still sore . I hope this incident hasn't put you off and that you can make it to Draycote in Jan 10 . We welcome all food types including Eggs and soft fruit onto the water :!: Secondly Ray , the only r...

Bob ,
you really have set us a challenge , we are currently looking around the club for someone who is principled , not open to bribes and can write . It may have to be 2 out of 3
Cheers
Derek.

Bob , as ever you are the voice of reason ! Congratulations to CSC who on balance probably took the first round of the interclub challenge but lets not forget that Steve , Stuart and Robin took the first 3 places at Carsington - well done lads and that Steve , Stuart , Erling , Ed and Pete currently...

Team Carsington , thanks for organising a very enjoyable and interesting event . The " inverted P " course ( potentially very messy ) was very challenging for the boys from Draycote but we managed to work it out :!: Not only have the boys from Carsington SC developed the technically advanc...

George ,
what is a raid event and what is the awesome fun for old gits Does it involve sailing and beer

Bob , thanks for mentioning the performance of team Draycote at Stewartby , I didn't want to raise it :lol: We have two sailers in form at the moment , Ed and Pete and the crown of top Sprint 15 sailer at Draycote is up for grabs :!: Hope to get 3 Draycote boats to Carsington , Ed , Pete and myself ...

Mark , if you have found an affordable trailer I would go for it . A Dart 15 should fit on an 18 trailer , especially if the out riggers are adjustable . Mine has adjustable out riggers , the part that the hull sits on . You could always measure inside hull distance and check out measurements on tra...

Thanks for organising a great event , the efficiency of race mangement and food serving was very impressive and there can't be many events where you can head for home by 4pm . It was good to see a friendly and emerging sprint 15 fleet at Stewartby . Have you thought about having a training day at St...

Hi Mark ,
hopefully there will be 3 , possibly 4 boats from Draycote at Stewartby this Saturday . Looking forward to meeting you and I am sure you will have home advantage
Cheers
Derek.

I would like to pass on my thanks to the team at Grafham for a great w/e's sailing . Congratulations to Brain for winning the event and well done to Charles for his overall series victory :!: It was good to see such a great turn out of sprint 15 sailers . Are there any pic's of the event ? I would l...

Phil , cut down main sail and twin trapeze , are you planning to sail in a hurricane :lol: Speaking of which , did you take your new rig out for blast yesterday :?: Wind was in the high 20mph and gusts to 46mph , bring it on :!: Can we have a picture for the web site :roll: Cheers Derek.
