CVRDA

Weren't they lapping you Ed?

Thanks to everyone concerned, a great event.

Just a quick word of warning to anyone coming down to Roadford for the first time. - The slip roads off the A30 are quite short and have a 90 degree bend in them. If you are towing you may well want to scrub 30/40 mph off your speed before taking the bends, - it would be a pity to get within 2 miles...

My first boat was Mirror 4341, ("Weary Friar") and I so wish I still had her, her original cotton sails won me my first sailing trophy in the mid 80's. I could have brought her to Roadford - would have had to let someone borrow her though, - I definitely Finn sized now.

thanks Graham,

I'll try it again. See you in a couple of weeks. Taking the tent to Cornwall to test it before the Aug bank holiday...I too got a weekend off (kids to grandparents) so will be camping(/drinking) at Roadford.

I can't get the video to work either, does any one know of any other source, or could suggest a solution?

(sorry to drag this thread back on topic)

Very nice...modern without being "in your face"...hope it is staying!

XXL for me please, (yet another Roadford Finn fatboy!)

Despite suggesting ORDA, I actually think that Ed has got it about right. It was merely a suggestion that addressed the some of the issues we have all been discussing. The only issue I have with the current constitution is the pre-65 design requirement . While I understand the reasoning, I personall...

Ref: ORDA, If it makes any difference to any of the other discussions, I would be happy enough to run this. (As long as it came within/alongside the CVRDA. i.e. I don't mind being the point of contact and co-ordinator of "old" boat questions/racing/etc that come through the CVRDA.) Persona...

It wouldn't be a change to the Constitution specifically, but how about adding an automatic age related handicap advantage. - i.e. for every 5 years older than 25yrs, one number higher on the handicap? So the older the boat the better the handicap, even within the same class and with similar levels ...

To me, it looks like the CVRDA fulfils 2 purposes ("preserving/conserving boats, knowledge and skills for classic and vintage boats"; and providing a class "association for old boats" (either because the class doesn't exist or because by become "old" the boat is no long...

Hi, I'm new to the CVRDA having only recently joined the Finn fleet at Roadford. I'm really looking forward to the Nationals in August - putting names to faces and admiring the boats, AND the racing. Although I appreciate the work and effort many members of the CVRDA put into preserving, conserving ...

Hi, I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who know the Lazy E and will be able to help and plenty more with advice about putting it back together. My 1974 Guide to Classes has a comment about the Lazy E which says "Variations in interior arrangements and cockpit fittings allowed.&qu...

Ref your outhaul, my Finn boom is actually two ends patched together so I can't run the outhaul purchase inside the boom as "standard". I have a single line running through the boom which emerges between the kicker and mainsheet and then a series of blocks hanging under the boom give the p...
