CVRDA

Twenty five years ago I was regularly going over to Gosport after work and having my evening meal aboard this very boat.
Buy me a beer sometime and I'll tell you more.

Disconnect the speedo and of you go.

Thanks one and all at Bowmoor S.C. Nice weekend despite the weather.
The family in Merlin 2081 brought a smile to my face.The kids,one hanging over each side,were loving it. Did'nt get chance to speak to them.Had they come far?

Yes,I was there in May for a Supernova open. A one day event so used the trusty Jetta.The lake was a lot smaller than I imagined. The car park was not very flat but I walked around the site and eyed some other spots for the camper for the OK weekend.. Home is a parking place.And mine is an old volks...

No less than 5 CVRDA qualifying OKs have been listed in the last few days on the for sale boat list at http://www.okdinghy.co.uk. which is the UK class assoc. site. Most have pictures and the asking prices range from £350 to £750.All seem to be ready to go straight away and all bar one appear to b...

Guess the setting time for two pack epoxy would be an inconvenience.

Will be coming up, so 1 more for the roast and anywhere flatish for the VDub please.Looking forward to it.

Does it have to be a CVRDA cat? If not, you could do a lot worse than a Sprint15(Dart15) Their attraction for me is their versatility. Sail singlehanded with main only(PY916)or with main,jib and trapeze(PY880) They will carry passengers, although this is like sailing with the handbrake on.They are s...

And another very enjoyable weekend it was too!
Thanks very much Keith and all at the club.

Do'nt worry Roger. My old VW Camper is a regular visitor and romps up all those hills with boat in tow. See you there.

The OK Dinghy world championships start at the weekend. Follow the action daily next week at http://www.okworld2005.dk Needless to say, me and 1211 have'nt been invited to attend this year although we've put in a solid consistent performance on the open circuit this year.....second from last at BOTH...

Hello Nick,
Looking forward to it. I'm up for both days but Dad is away so wo'nt be coming this year, although he'd love to have done.

Well, it's happened yet again (3 summers running). We'll be away on our hols over this weekend. Really would like to come to this one.The OK is fully seaworthy, of course, and with parking/sleeping for the old VDub camper on site it would have been a great weekend. Maybe next year. Anytime but June....

Oh dear Rupert.
you should have stuck with that idea of yours to give an OK a good home and now you would'nt have been in this spot.
Cant make it myself this weekend. Have fun.

And all this because Laser appears to subscibe fully to the "Rip Off Britain" bigade. They were taking the p*** with the prices they used to try charging for Dart 15 spares. But that's history. The Supernova is a refreshing change from the usual one design, one manufacturer set up. Not onl...
