Scoring methods for 'traveller type' series
Does anyone have any experience / advice to offer regarding equitable scoring methods for race series spread over a whole season with races at different locations and with widely varying number of competitors? For the first time the International 12 foot dinghy class is holding a series of regattas ...

Re: Just a thought
My son plays cricket at CERN. The Collider track runs directly under the pitch (which must give some scope for excuses for poor performance not yet used by the England Team)

Re: Bright Images
I would very much like to know whether there is anything in the book regarding International 12 Foot Dinghies - I believe that there were some at the club at one time....... I am collecting information with a view to publishing an official history of the class sometime before the class celebrates it...

A testament to mans ingenuity ........
Not a sailing dinghy – but a testament to mans ingenuity and desire to get onto the water. This ‘boat’ started life as a fuel tank on a German aircraft that crash-landed on the Seine during WWII. At this time all boats belonging to the local populace had been confiscated by the occupying forces. htt...

I'm going to be racing against the guy in the 'October picture of the month' in Turkey this weekend - should I insist on my right of way when I meet him and I'm on starboard? Steve PS: He's a puss...

Just for the record...... The International 12 was designed in 1913. By 1914 it had already spread to the Netherlands and Belgium. It was adopted as the first International one-design class in 1920 and was used in the 1920 and 1928 Olympics (1928 as a singlehander). Twenty boats competed in the 1928...

The boats that I was thinking of were the gaff rigged 'Cambridge University Cruising Club One Design' drawn by Uffa Fox in 1937. Length: 12 foot Beam: 4ft 6ins. Sail area:90 sq ft Apparently Uffa hoped that one of these would be re-rigged and registered as a National 12 - but there is no record of t...
