CVRDA

Many thanks to Chris and Lois for organising a great event and especially to Chris for getting the weather right (at least for one day .

Good to see old friends and to meet new friends.

Hoping to persuade my new crew to come to Banbury

Round windscreen stickers the size of the old tax disc? And possibly stickers for the rear window say 6 x 2 inches?

A burgee would be nice.

Yes, count me in . July or August would be fine for me.

Hi Pat and Sandy, great, thanks, still have that bottle of Whyte and Mackay waiting

Hi Chris, have booked the weekend so barring any unforeseen circumstances I will be there (provided that you can ensure excellent weather just as Alan did at Roadford )

Great weekend, best weather I've ever seen at a CVRDA event :lol: thanks to Alan and crew for organising such a fantastic event... Good to see old friends there, really enjoyed the whole thing... The Bar-b-q was up to Alan's usual high standard, more than we could eat or drink, and thanks to all who...

Alan, the Jollyboat probably won't be ready for Roadford so I will be bringing the I14.

At the moment I don't have a crew so if anyone would like to crew for me there is a space (;>))

Hi Alan, hoping to be there with Fairey 18, have contacted Roadford re camping. Trust that you can provide excellent weather as well as the aforementioned BBQ

Hi Nessa, thanks for being a wonderful host again, great day and good to see old friends.

Nice bit of wind haha, if a bit shifty....

Looking forward to the next one....

Hi Justin, my trolley is 3200mm from wheel centre (main support) to front of trolley so a bit longer would probably be better, say 3400 to 3600mm. You need to make the trailer wheels spaced widely enough to get the trolley wheels inside the trailer wheels otherwise the boat/trolley will sit too far ...

Hi Justin,

I am using a Wayfarer trolley on a combi trailer. The trolley is fine but the trailer axle is a bit too far forward.

I will measure the trolley tonight and let you know, it will give you an idea for the trailer length.

If anyone is interested in an original tufnol reefing claw to go round the boom and a couple of old winches, main and jib, off my old Nat 18 (1930's), please let me know. No charge, can post at cost or take to one of the CVRDA a events.

Hi Paul, I have a Jollyboat steel plate if you want it, can bring it to Hunts if you want?

David, you do realise that this has now gone viral and has become the official history of Mercury II?

Who knows where the story will end

Hi Steve, hope you are getting your JB together ok. Any thoughts on getting out to meetings this year?

Best regards, Chris
