Cowes
Just been reading about future national rallies and its got me thinking wildly! Wouldn't it be lovely to hold a CVRDA event to celebrate Uffa Fox at Cowes sometime. I'd lovely to sail in and out of the Medina! Yes I know it's a lovely idea but probably impractical due to the cost of the ferry and ge...

We intend coming again and have booked in to the Premier Inn Rugeley for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Quite happy with last year but this year I will probably sail on Sunday afternoon even if not racing then pack up Monday morning before leaving for home. Will be sailing single handed as last...

Re: 2014 events!
And another event, neatly solving the problem of what to do on the Bank Holiday weekend....
Blithfield will host a vintage weekend on 24 and 25 May.
- As it's a Bank Holiday Weekend will it just cover the Saturday to Sunday lunchtime or longer?

Uffa Fox Design Facebook Page
As the following comment is now hidden in the Wanted section under Prototype Flying Fifteen, I thought it would be worthwhile more prominently advertising it: 'Don't think there's a problem with the provenance as the boat is known on the Uffa Fox Facebook group (run by Michael Dixon). I won't repeat...

Re: The Racing and River Boat Museum
Interestingly, the Hamble River Yacht Club has a fleet of Fireflys available for hire, at times to non members. Details are on their website.

Re: Trying To Track Down My Old Boat
I went round looking at old International 14s sailing last year and was at the Rickmondsworth and the Upper Thames Classic and Vintage International 14 opens.
I've just looked through all my photos but unfortunately your I14 wasn't at either.

Re: Blithfield event
Thanks to all for a brilliant weekend with lovely people. The Blithfield crowd were especially welcoming and helpful. Wish all sailing clubs were this good. CVRDA people were most friendly and helpful, racing the way all should - Professional, helpful and gentlemanly (including the ladies). Thanks a...

Re: Blithfield event
Further to my earlier post, I have now booked accommodation and expect to be there with my wife and International 14. Her operation is the following Wednesday! We will be eating at lunchtimes but not in the evening.

Re: Blithfield event
I'm still thinking of coming for the weekend sailing my I14 single handed as previously discussed and hoping to arrive to deposit my boat and put the mast up on the Friday afternoon towards teatime - Will that be OK? I'll be bringing my disabled wife who won't be sailing and we will not require food...
