Hi All As the subject implies my boat Rooster tails in strong winds resulting in a loss of stearage and control is there a reason and a cure for this as my previous boat did not suffer from this problem? Previous Boat now owned by Cockey young upstart Ben my Son who made comment on my nice fountain ...

Hi Martin Im glad the stopper thumb knot worked I use the same theory though I havnt had to test it out yet, both my own and Bens boat have 8mm mainsheets and we have sailed in some seriously strong winds. I replaced both the mainsheets on both boats within a year of purchacing the 2 boats (1343) Be...

Great Mag again George I have to ration myself to reading 1 or 2 article a day and not bolt through it all at once, but im on the second half of the mag now so I guess i will have to re read it again. Hopefully I will make it to 1 or 2 events this year if all keeps going well so hope to see you at y...

Hi Guys I would also like to thank Erling for the time and effort he puts in to aranging the events programme. Though myself and Ben havnt been able to attend this year due to my health problem this is steadily improving and I have been back on the water since july at the weekends steadily increasin...

Merry Christmas Kevin, Jo and Cloe

Hi Keith great to hear from you and for the encouragement, you are correct with the 2 months time scale and I am making great progress. :) I have been walking nearly every day and am now up to my normal walking speed of 3 mph and usually do about 2.5 miles a day increasing it every day.

John

Seems to me that the sprint is undergoing a revival at Beaver
how many boats have you in the fleet, and how many of you sail every or nearly every Sunday

If i were to pop over to see you one sunday would there be a good number of sprints on the water, you are only 50 miles away

Congratulations John, great to see Beaver back on the TT circuit are you guys going to make this a regular thing again

When I sort this dicky ticker of mine our (by next April I hope) Halifax should be back to full TT strength force again

Hi Kevin The NHS has been absolutly brilliant (apart from the food) we have posted a big thank you to the Calderdale NHS Tust on their web site from the ambulance team to the cleaning staff a big thank you. On all the surveys you hear about bad NHS calderdale/kirklees is never mentioned, and no one ...

Hi guys Know what you mean about the high wind sailing Robin the sunday before my little trip in an ambulance while you were at the Nationals, (well done 4th place great) It was blowing a gale and only the sprinters went out and stayed out for all 3 races, some monohulls joined in the first race an ...

George good to hear from you, hadnt realised that you have had a heart complaint and get rid of the Flu soon I hope. It helps to know that there are others among the sprint community that have had Heart problems, as the re hab Nurse that I spoke to said I may have to give up sailing as it was the wr...

Hi Guys Many thanks for all your best wishes and encoauraging comments. Earling is the Keith you are talking about Keith Newnham who came 3rd at the nationals :?: It seems that the heart attack has put a damper on my sailing plans for the rest of this year, which is a shame as I was planning to go t...

OK Bob and Kevin have sold it to me, I like the sound of Pwllheli.
No trees, no trek through car park with boat, good beach to launch/recover from and we should spread the nationals around as Bob said we were in Saundersfoot in 2007.
