Thank you to everyone @ NDYC for what was a really enjoyable event. Despite the tricky conditions, we sailed all six races and were looked after like royalty by everyone there, with superb hospitality and top notch catering and a well stocked bar!! It was more like a holiday with a bit of sailing in...

I'll have to psych out John then!! Perhaps in the bar though..

Let's hope the conditions are good.

Steve S and I will be there hopefully in time for a beer on Thursday evening.

No laughing at me though, as I haven't sailed Sprint/Sport mode for some years!!!

Fellow 15ers. Steve Sawford and I are 2/4 of a 4 man 24 hr mountainbike race team and our first event is the Clic 24 on the 16th/17th May. Our plan is firstly to finish the event and in the process raise what we can for CLICsargent - caring for children with cancer. Our finishing position will sort ...

I've been using the foam battens of late and plan to pass them on through the GWSC fleet.

If they need to be somewhere else, just ket me know!!

By the way - I like them!

I guess not then!!

I don't suppose it'll be too long before I can't catch him! Unless it's windy as he's too slim and athletic...

I'm sure Bob remembers the days when George was still in check?

How about batten sets?

Charles.

I'm working on Abby to be my crew, as I'm also hoping it will be Jacob's 1st solo Nationals so the three of us can wobble around at the back!!

We'll see...Nearly have the accommodation sorted now at a local B&B.

Charles.

Go for the newest caravan you can, as you've less chance of mould (not something we've ever managed to avoid) and there's a nice'r' set of them near the sailing club from memory..

Best start whistling for the wind now!

I'm on for tomorrow and will pack the boat later today (Anna's birthday, so I need to be on my best behaviour!)..

Bring your jib Steve - 23mph forecast!

Hope to see you all tomorrow.

It is Pro-am isn't it?

That means Frank can't overtake me for a whole lap... These guys are quicker than I remember!!

See you Sunday.

P.S. Bob - Jacob and Abby will be on shore, so if you need some administrative help I'm sure they'll oblige.

Andrew

Remember it well..

Yes, Jacob is keen to start cat' sailing with the Dart so I reckon he'll want to change his Laser later in the year..

...more catamarans perhaps!

Dart 15 #1522 now cleaned up and nearly ready to go, just need to change the sheets..

I'm amazed just how good the gelcoat looks after all these years, let's hope it's a quick 'un.
