Thanks for the suggestion but It was Dave Warnock, 2008 owner, who originally found the hatches and thought I might be able to reunite them with their owner at the Draycote TT. He did find down the end close to the Windsport setup.

Congratulations to Stuart Snell for becoming our 2018 National Champion, to Jenny Ball for coming second, Liam Thomfor third and to Hector Bunclark for first Junior. Thanks to everyone who participated in the event and for making it such a memorable occasion. We were lucky that we had enough wind to...

I have a pair of hatch covers which were left behind at Weymouth today. Let me know if they are yours!

We have achieved 3 new orders for boats which is great news!

If anyone is still thinking about getting a new boat, Windsport has said that they will extend the offer to the morning of Tuesday December 19th, so get in touch asap!

Only 2 days to go! If you feel that you don’t want a brand new boat, but want to benefit from the package, Windsport are offering their demo boat in Sport mode as an alternative boat. It is sail no 2015 and has been lightly sailed and was the display boat at this year’s dinghy show. The boat details...

It looks as if we have two potential orders for the new boat, but we need at least one more! So if you are thinking of buying a new Sprint, this is an ideal opportunity to get one at a special price, and get 15% off the accessories as well. There is just over a week before the offer closes next Frid...

Mark I had a similar problem a few years ago and I gave it to Steve Sawford. He got a sailmaker, based in Leicester I think, to repair it by extending by removing the eyelet, extending the bolt rope and the replacing the eyelet. It has worked well although starting to wear slightly now, but much bet...

Many thanks to Ray and Nick for giving a very successful teach-in day at Draycote, despite the lack of wind. We all learnt a lot, both on the water and the land, and our chandler's takings must have significantly increased. We put it all to good use on Sunday in some strong winds and impressed some ...
