CVRDA

Thanks Tim, Chris and Lois - see you there.....

Hi All, This event seems to have rather crept up on me, now less than 4 weeks away! Here's some information: The Avon River Rally is on Bank Holiday Monday 29th May 2017 at Severn Sailing Club, Bredon’s Norton, Near Tewkesbury GL20 7HD The event is a Long Distance ‘Picnic Race’, approx. 9mile round ...

I'm working next sat so can't make this one.

Thanks Rupert - curiosity satisfied!

As a Severn SC member I'm very curious as to who has brought minim - I will have to keep my eyes peeled!

Mast described as a black top but it doesn't look right to me - far more black at the top than I've ever seen??? Was having a look with the same thought as Peter!

Pics of a torch here http://www.cvrda.org/wp-cvrda/dinghydata/torch/ does it look like the same type of boat?

If it's an aft main it's very unlikely to have a cleat but a ratchet block is an option to take some strain off you. Good luck with it!

I can't add much to Peter's post but you could always join us at CVRDA events where wooden Finns are just the thing!

I'm now worrying about the tanks in my Fairey but given my woodwork skills not messing with it has to be the fastest option!

Absolutely agree with Peter and Sam - great weekend! Thanks to all at Hunts, especially Nessa and Nicky!

I plan to be there - me, a finn and a tent.

Thanks Alan and all at Roadford for a very enjoyable weekend' it's always nice to pop back!

I never did find pitch number 71!

Glad you've managed to sort this out - looks a v good job!

No news on dredging of the Avon as yet I'm afraid!

Unfortunately going to have to miss Clywedog now, have done something to my back, it's on the mend but I don't think lugging boats about or sailing would be a good plan this weekend - hopefully back to normal in time for Roadford!

Well done Chris, that's great news! Agree with Alan re the boom, looks low but so long as you don't use the kicker upwind and maybe let a bit off before gybing no problem! Good luck with it!

I plan to be there - me, finn and tent. Not sure yet if arriving friday eve or sat AM.
