Apollo Duck is out of date! That means one less for sale. #1631 was on-sold to Nick Alston of TBYC. Boat database updated accordingly.

We still have #1402. It hasn't been sailed for some time.

On-sold to Nick Alston, of TBYC, in autumn 2014.

When this website was built, it was decided that members would be awarded a naval rank based on one's number of posts. I don't mind ranking, but not on this basis. I wonder if we can award ranks in a different way. Perhaps flagging up members of the Sprint 15 committee, the present leader/contact of...

I've taken an adult crew without even considering my position in the race. Taking a crew is a good way to promote the class. For example, taking someone who has expressed an interest at the Alexandra Palace dinghy show. I've also taken crews at my club and discussed the merits of the Sprint whilst w...

I love the new magazine. Well done, George!

I especially liked reading history of the early years, ie before every news item and photograph was stored on computer.

I've never heard of Red Dwarf Bay. Is it where Nick's famous Epsiloms lived?

There are two Sprints with s/n 2012. One is at Thorpe Bay and the other is in South Africa.

Congratulations to all who entered. An excellent turnout by the Sprints.

In 2014, John Glynn bought this boat from Clive Dilliway. John raced in the una-rig national championship at Thorpe Bay and wrote the report for Y&Y and the Association.

2002 has since been on-sold to Matt Waters of TBYC.

I like it too. Nice panoramic view of a fleet of Sprints coming towards you. A great picture for the home page!

It must have been the practice race!

George, that's great news. I'm thrilled to bits!

A couple more from Thorpe Bay are in the offing.

If you haven't already entered, it is perfectly acceptable to enter 'on the day': Saturday morning. See notice of race.

We are very pleased how well this championship is being supported!

Hi Martin,

Yes, camping is available on the greensward. As before, there is no charge.

We're pleased to know Kevin Dutch is coming. We'll order a few extra barrels. Will Mark Aldridge be entering? It could be a quiet championship without him. And David Ball? In recent years, he has raced in our winter programme. He's like a local except he's usually quicker. Well done Seasalter for th...

Following Erling's reminder, there's an additional discount of £20 for those entering the Sprint 15 national championship for the first time.

Terry Postlewaite sold to John Williams. #1977 is now based at Thorpe Bay.
