Anyone going to the Dinghy Show?
Whelans will be on the Lightning stand, which is double size this year to fit 2 boats with the 2 different rigs on. Come and visit!

Planning to be there Saturday am. It's the unveiling of the new Sailing Academy back home.

Re: Anyone going to the Dinghy Show?
Very interesting to hear about the new Lightning Rig, what mast will it use?
Wasn't there a problem for a while with availability of masts for the Lightning? is this OK now?
Are you still using Needspars or something else now.
cheers

A couple of years ago Claridge produced a smaller rig on a shorter mast. Masts are now an Ali bottom and carbon top, made by John.

Re: Anyone going to the Dinghy Show?
I would be going, and even got as far as buying train tickets.
However; as it turns out, I have a visit day at Queens Belfast (the same day - the 28th).
So, is anyone travelling from Birmingham; either Snow hill leaving at 7:11, or Moor Street at 7:15, or even Stourbridge (where the ticket was booked from) at 6:45, to Alexandra Palace? Returning from Alexandra Palace Station at 15:57. And should arrive just in time to see David's book launch.
If this is the case, I have two sets of train tickets going spare, if anyone wants them, just let me know and the tickets will be on their way to you. They are the non-refundable ones, so if anyone needs them, then please get in touch...
Any offer considered (sorry about this, but the tickets were £69 for both).
Cheers,
Max
PS - sorry to hijack the thread, but I don't think this topic constitutes a new thread, but I am happy to 'oblige' either way, so if it needs changing, then feel free to move it / delete it / do whatever is required to it.

Ideal place to put the posting, Max.
Sadly, coming from Swindon, so can't help.

Yes, I hadn't considered this; but I might PM Nessa first to make sure it 'abides' the pages guidelines....Hi Max, just a thought how about posting on the boats and bits for sale FB page?
