A great weekend with lots of good friends, plenty of wind! And a superb bar-b-q.. Thank you... Also , a prize should go to the cake makers, some of the best I have ever tasted! Many thanks also to Ian and Ed for their advice on heavy weather sailing, if I'd spoken to them first we may have been seei...

Hi Alan,

Possible need a tent space or 2, waiting to hear from Trevor and Dean although Dean has a camper

Haha Ian, very funny! Lol, if you had been at Hunts you wouldn't have been in the running, we trounced almost everyone, only losing on the superb handicap the Jb carries. At one point we were so far ahead we thought that we had gone the wrong way! Anyway , we still have a few more battles to fight.....

Hi all, I will be bringing the Jollyboat on Saturday with Dean but he can't make it on Sunday so I will be looking for 1 or 2 crew for Sunday if anyone is interested....

David, great piece, really, really interesting. Love the format and the pictures. A good look back at what many of us consider the golden years of dinghy development. Also, thank you for posting the picture of the Jolly pirate crew, proof to my wife that I'm not having an affair (at least only with ...

Hi Tim, looks like a nice boat. Can you email me about how much you would take?

Chris

Hi Nessa, yes, a wonderful weekend again and thanks for the extra wind on Sunday.

Thanks also to my two great crew, it was a pleasure to sail with you and get the Jollyboat going properly for a change! Hope we can do it again soon.

Get better soon Nessa and hope to see you at future meetings

Hi Steve, I have a complete rig for a Jollyboat, original Reynolds mast, bendy boom and sails (was hoping to use them on a possible rebuild but still waiting to hear from owner [ed LOL] You should be able to fit them straight into your boat. I do have a steel centre plate that I won't be using again...

Still looking for a Jib for the Firefly if anyone has a spare?

Hi Nessa, Looking good for Jollyboat 325 at Hunts on the 3rd. Should be at least 2 of us. What do you have planned for the evening? probably up for a meal and drinks.

Also, have I missed the race times or are they on the Hunts SC websire?

Chris

Hi Jim, great, pm me to discuss, Chris

Ed, I have sent you a couple of messages but not sure if you have received them, can you check please? Chris

Hi Dean, that would be great (an experienced crew )

Haven't heard from Clare this season, don't know if she is up for it again.....

Regards, Chris

Hi Roger, thanks for the heads up, may have to saw a couple of foot off the Jb LOL, anyway, shouldn't be a problem, I can take the Pegasus (:>))

Chris

Hi, I have effectively used oxalic acid for removing rust stains from terylene sails with no apparent ill effects so it should be good for wood. I stuff I used was DAVIS FSR Fiberglass Stain Remover, a sort of gel that comes in a 1 pint tub, should be able to get it from a chandlers or on line. Rega...
