Hi Keith,
Wendy and I will be there in the Motorhome with Baxter and would like to arrive on Sunday morning with a view to joining in with the club racing if that's ok.
Our preference would be for the BYO BBQ.
Cheers
Ian

Re: Enterprise lack of pointing
Sitting too far aft certainly wouldn't help your pointing so that may well be at least part of the problem. Most boats go better upwind with the crew weight a bit further forward particularly in lighter winds, in fact the Enterprise generally prefers the weight forward both upwind and down until you...

Re: Baltic Wharf NEXT SATURDAY
As there have been no positive responses to this post or the similar plea on the Facebook page, asking who is intending to go to the Baltic Wharf event, have we reached the point where a decision needs to made? Maybe we should tell the club now that regrettably, due to the low number of people able ...

Re: Merlin design 20WCa
1855 is listed in the Merlin Rocket yearbook as 20aWC which is code for Mike Nokes designed StarRocket built as you say by Wyche and Coppock. A sister ship called Cotopaxi won the Nationals in1965 in the hands of Alan Warren and Barry Dunning so quite fast in it's day, although most boats this pairi...

Re: Merlin 3270
Hi,
According to the yearbook 3270 is an NSM2 built by Guy Winder in 1982. She is called "Dragon Lady".
I think that you only place that you can see the list is in the Merlin Rocket Year Book.
Regards
Ian

Re: Fireball spinnakers and a jib - anyone have any interest
Well Sam I heard a rumour that you were putting an RS400 assymetric kite on the Albacore so I thought I'd better give it a go! Just need a miniature crew to do the hoists and drops and put the pole on now?sam mason wrote:Moth with a Fireball Spinnaker......The mind boggles

Hi,
If Godfrey doesn't want both spinnakers then I would quite like the other one.
Thanks
Ian

Re: Last event of the year
Yes, as Lyndon says we were somewhat let down by the weather gods with the lack of breeze although at least it wasn't as cold as the last few times we have been to Bristol. Sorry that I didn't get to thank anyone from Baltic Wharf SC in person for hosting us again and doing such a great job managing...

Re: Meeting at Hykeham (Again)
Hi Sam, It would be great to sail at Hykeham again after all these years, I think the last time must have been team racing in Ents at Lindum SC sometime in the mid 90s. I don't know if the dates have been confirmed yet, but from a purely selfish point of view the last weekend in June (24th/25th) wou...

Re: Banbury 8th October
Another great weekend at Banbury Sailing Club so a big thank you to Tim, Pat and the team whose hard work made the event a resounding success. It was really nice to see such a wide variety of boats that included some that were making a first appearance at a CVRDA event such as Peter's Swift catamara...
Re: New Sail
Dolphin sails made a lot of Cat sails for the Minnis Bay Condor fleet when I was a member there. They always looked pretty decent and reasonably priced as far as I remember, but that was a while ago. If they are still going it may be worth enquiring anyway? Really impressed with the fantastic job yo...

As we have done for the previous events at Banbury we would like to arrive on Friday evening if that's ok and hope to get there around nine in the evening. We will be in the motor home with Baxter and b...

Re: Down to one boat... each... plus a spare
Yes a Javelin would be an interesting choice and they are nice looking boats. There is a small fleet of them at Southwold Sailing Club and they were always fairly popular in Norfolk as I recall. They are big powerful boats though and Whitefriars might be a bit too restricted? A true classic that was...

Re: Aldeburgh YC 3rd and 4th September 2016
A big thank you to all those at AYC who helped make the weekend truly memorable in spite of, or perhaps because of, the weather! A special thank you to John Adcroft whose hard work both before and during the event was clearly evident and his help and guidance when we first arrived was greatly apprec...
