2 Hits on opposite sides of the country - how do we get you on the same bit of water?!

Great to hear we have a breeding pair, though... maybe more will come to light.

I would like to see some photod of your controls. Mine all run to a strange metal horse type structure in the middle of the boat. Also, do you have a curved traveller that only goes to leeward?

What event is nearest the halfway point between Peterborough and Bristol? Whitefriars?

Hunts would be nearest to Peterborough then Banbury. After that.....

A fair few Hunts members come from Peterborough. Would be great to see the Hit here next year.

I will make a special effort for next year. This year has beena total write off from that perspective - Life has a habit of getting in the way sometimes

Was in Bosham at the weekend and saw a dinghy in the distance that I think was a Hit......sail number 11. I may be wrong, but can't find a pic to confirm, so only working on memory......anyone able to confirm this sighting?

I was near Bosham on Sunday but didn't see a Hit, only a Streaker and an unidentified single-hander with a logo of a letter R in a triangle - the Hit has a circle for a logo, I believe.

Hi All,

Yes the Hit has a roundel as an emblem - A fat red circle.

Re the "R" in a triangle, I have a vague recollection of a single hander called a Rival but I have been unable to track down any data so far.

Hi All
Can photos be posted on this sight. If so in time I will get help to do it.

Hi Geoff,

yes they can. At the bottom of "post reply" there is a section to add files. Photos need to be relatively small (less than 100k I think) otherwise it does not work.

If you have any problems, email them to me and I will upload for you.

Hi Paul,

We must have been ships that passed in the day.......I saw the mystery "R" dinghy launch and sail in the bay, and the Hit(?) was sailing a few mins beforehand.....I was sipping cider in the Anchor Bleu!
