Re: A question
Rover 75 estates don't even start to go up the hill if they have been used as a communal li-lo inflater!! It is a steep hill I must confess.

Re: A question
Impressive vehicle, not really my sort of thing, however reverting to possible Oulton Vintage Boats, Thames Raters? They've been before and do the Three Rivers race too.

Re: A question
And have requested to have thier nationals at WOBYC...
I would love to contact the A Rater Class Assoc to promote Oulton Week. Has anybody got any contacts??

Try the Thames SC that is their home 020 8399 2164 . I am sure they will have the fleet captain's number.

Re: A question
Thanks for the info. Will follow up. I recall sailing against Stuart Gurney when I was crewing Tom Shucksmith - but I doubt he will remember me. Crews seem to be forgotten very easily!!

Re: A question
So while I was waiting at the top of the gangway in a Cowes Marina on a windless day while crewing in a Swan European Champs, two esteemed owners met close by and the conversation ran:
First: I say, anything happening at the Squadron?
Second: No, nothing only a few crews hanging around making the place untidy.
First: They really should keep them out of the way.
I'd like to see them sail single handed!

Re: A question
According to Masefield, Quinquiremes row (with 5 banks of oars) so no good. We're used to the Matthew in Bristol so his Spanish galleon might be interesting and I'd love the cargo but I'd probably get the "Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack" and its firewood and cheap tin trays
