Re: Looking for a February Winter TT venue

Is Marconi or Stone an option? They both have good size home fleets.

PS Brightlingsea could be another option

Good to see that Paul has not lost his winning ways. Well done to Jenny for taking 2nd and I see that even the webmaster made the podium :wink:

Re: Clips' play question

Agreed. The diagonal cut of the tramp is essential to pull the hulls together. Sorry, but I reckon you need a properly made trampoline...
How about advertising for a second hand trampoline by putting a wanted advert on this website if cash is short?

Re: Grafham Winter TT - Online Entry Now Open

Hi Jan, Well done for ordering 2030. I see Ray Gall has entered as 2028 so it looks like "Howmuch*" has lashed out too. :D It looks like we are now at 11 entries and rising but I'm not sure why the Grubguru and Ed have signed on as Sport mode. I kind of suspect it is finger trouble...... R...

Re: Out of Africa boats

The masts and rudders got replaced by Windsport. So the residual problems are the leaking and/or the weight.

Re: Out of Africa boats

PS The performance was not hopeless. My best result in the boat was a close 2nd place (out of 46 entries) in the Inland Championships at the 2006 Grafham Cat Open. I was beaten by Robin Leather who was a better sailor....

Re: Out of Africa boats

Hi Derik, The South African made boats were somewhat problematic for a number of reasons so have not proved so popular on the second hand market. They came with a number of defects that Windsport did their best to rectify. These included replacing the rudder blades as the original ones had a differe...

Re: 2022 Summer Series Dates

It looks like we have got a good way towards a programme for Summer 2022. So why do we not have a 2022 events page on the website? TBDs are OK but it is worth advertising the events that have already been fixed more widely. Just a thought...
