CVRDA

Pat Frensham's date is not written in blood. The reason for that date is because when we first held the event it fitted in with the Club's 50th anniversary celebrations, which had a "50's" theme. It has just been convenient to the programme planners to have it remain then. I suggest you sp...

What time is the Pursuit race on the Sunday, please ? I can only do the one day.

Int.14. - 839

Does anyone want Merlin Magazines and Yearbooks from 1980 to the present day ? All there, I think. No charge, but they would have to be picked up from Farnham, Surrey.

Give me a call. - 01252 311982

All the best,

You stole my thunder. I was going to remind everyone that now the minor events are out of the way, we can get on to the more memorable days. Frensham is ready, the weather is ordered, and the tide is permanently in.

Be there.

"Dinghy sailing, at club level, is losing numbers" True, yes, and a subject of great interest at Frensham, though Cadets still rule, with huge numbers. It's not getting the kids into the sport, it's keeping them there. So many other things to do, and calls on their time. One hobby-horse, h...

It was clinker built, was half decked, and bermudian rigged. The class insignia was an 'M' underlined, with a 14 underlined below that, and then the boa...

Here are the details you've all be waiting for. The Frensham Pond CVRDA Regatta will be held over the weekend of 12th and 13th July, THE Summer event of the year. As before, it will be open to all mono-hulled boats under 16ft in length, of designs more than 40 years old, and where the boat is over 2...

Strange looking Int.14, but I know the item you mean. He wants £500 minimum, and I was thinking of selling 839, fully restored, trailer/trolley, cover, new sails, etc, for that. Seems like I will have to increase the price.

Just a footnote. Many years ago I was sailing a Lark at Bolton. Getting too near the shore I ran aground and bent the plate. I couldn't straighten it so took it to a steelworks in Bolton and asked them to do it. After some three weeks they called to say they had run it through their rollers many tim...
