Thanks to Sam and all the team at Hykeham for their hospitality, even adding the pretty blue Radox to the water so the moth fleet could swim in comfort!

Look forward to returning next year

Cheers

Hi Sam,

I'm looking forward to joining you at Hykeham with Campervan and Sprite Moth.
Barbeque sounds good to me. Likely to come over Friday evening after work.
Doing my best to encourage a couple more moths too.

Cheers

Hi Exsailman, welcome aboard, always good to hear of another moth being saved. Hope you can come and join us on (or in) the water soon. There is a lot of moth info amongst these pages, and you might find some more on the Lowrider moths facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/422607964597474/ ...

Hi Pat,

I will be there with Stockholm Sprite.

Usual suspects would be: Mast rake - Is it somewhere near the recommended settings? Check on one of the sailmaker's sites for a tuning guide. Mast foot position is usually fixed on an Ent, but channel type step with pins can be adjusted. Stick with the light to medium wind settings for pond sailing....

I am hoping to come to Shearwater this time. Will try and make a weekend of it. Possibly another couple of boats from Greensforge if we're lucky.

Cheers

Lyndon

Ian and I were planning to go with our Moths, possibly another moth from my club if maiden voyage tomorrow goes well.
It would be good to have some more joining us though..

Sorry, but as only a couple of local boats were confirmed ready, we have decided to try and run this later in the season.

Launched on the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/422607964597474/ but open to all Lowrider/Classic Moths Ian and I will be hosting a training day at my home club, Greensforge SC, Staffordshire on 18th March An early season gathering to exchange ideas, help set boats up correctly and do ...

A Womble! brilliant, that was certainly one of the designs i thought would be using a fair bit of fibreglass tape. From the sail number K3683, it would have been built 1977-1978. Was this the Womble that was advertised for sale sometime last year? Pleased it found a good home. You will find plenty o...

Hi and welcome to the forum, and indeed the classic moth fleet. Great to hear of another one being saved! I think the tape you are looking for is fibreglass tape which is widely available as Steve says. as an example..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fibreglass-Open-Weave-Woven-Cloth-Tape-For-Polyester...

Can't trust the weathermen! that has to be the lesson learned from Saturday in Bristol. 10-12 mph wind promised but we had mostly 0. Baltic Wharf SC though, can always be trusted to welcome CVRDA visitors to their unique sailing experience. It was pleasing to see a good turnout of classics both home...

No need to raise the M5 bridge, this is how its done.....https://www.facebook.com/PowerboatNatio ... 551497207/

I'm looking forward to it, hope a few more can come and support Baltic Wharf.

Thanks to all at Banbury SC for another great meeting. A slight lack of water in the pond restricted the playing field, but the Race Officer's depth sounding was spot on with the shallows marked, and I managed to keep clear of the mud all day. With a few unpredictable windshifts thrown in, we had so...
