Just seen the Y&Y article - Great picture of Jan " The viking " we need to get him on the front cover of Y&Y and a modelling contract :lol: Does anybody have a caption to accompany the picture of the viking :?: How about ; "Whats this - water under my hulls rather than inside ...

Congratulations to Paul Wilko - Draycotes IT specialist for the excellent photo's posted on "Flicker " - great pic's :D I have searched through the pic's and spotted a couple of Carsington boys - mostly behind a Draycote boat I hasten to add ! Well done to Robert for another excellent &quo...

All, looking forward to a little "Light " wind , low water sailing :D Good to see that the Carsington boys are still dazed and confused over the inter club rules :lol: With Draycote recording a resounding victory at Stewartby it 1 nil to Draycote . I shall be mostly sprinting on the day - ...

Hi all , has anybody found a B&B or camp site near to the sailing club ? I have left booking accommodation until last minute and Ed and I are struggling to find a bed . We are not proud , warm and dry will do for us ! Where are we off loading our boats , is it on the beach again ? Ed and I are d...

Simon , I do not share your height or weight but I know somebody ( A viking ) who does and sails a sprint 15 . I recon if you can sail a phantom you will be very competitive in a sprint 15 . Catamaran's of any class are hard work in low wind but I guess that goes for all boats . For your stature you...

Well done to QM's for organising a great event with both wind and warm weather :!: I just about warmed up in the car on the way back to Coventry . I can't believe that our boy Pete Slater has been demoted to 4th place , is this a further development in the Carsington / Draycote challenge :?: I think...

Team Carsington , I enjoyed my trip to Carsington , the breakfast was good , the banter was entertaining and the fun sail was very enjoyable :!: Sprint 15's aren't meant to go with 2 fat boys on board but me and my crew ( Fat boy slim - FBS ) managed to blast around doing the wild thing . If there a...

Guys ,
it looks wild to me ! Which version of windguru are you using ? I will keep track on gales before I commit to travelling , the waters exceptionally cold at Carsington at this time of year
Cheers

George , another great magazine ! You must put days /weeks into producing such a comprehensive magazine !
It will be good to see all of the GRRR gang on the 4th !
Cheers
Derek

Just got a special delivery in the post , brown paper job ! Well what can I say but "Brilliant :lol: " . I suspected some skull duggery but suspected it maybe in the hair department . You may have lost the CD challenge but a whole new field of play has opened up with " The James Gang ...

Thanks to Gordon and the team at QM for laying on an event in almost impossible wind conditions . The final event at Grafham should be a very exciting show down between two highly capable and respected sailors , Steve and Stuart :!: Good luck to both and looking forward to Grafham already . Robert ,...
