Hear Hear! - for conditions warmer and windier!
Those of us fool hardy enough to travel all the way to Derby before discovering thier hands couldn't cope with sleet, have been blessed with a very understanding Santa.....
Many thanks to Stewartby for setting up a very enjoyable event - even with the light winds I had a great day, and for once made a couple of setup changes that seemed to help me move up the fleet rather than down. Only sorry not to have seen more of the QM fleet now that we can finally get our boats ...
Gentlemen (?!), Many thanks for the range of advice posted here with regard to a new drysuit - A Gul Force is on its way (something about preferring rear entry apparently....). Should be delivered tomorrow and tested for size in my living room tomorrow evening - neighbours have been advised to ignor...
Purchased from Colin Price in May of 2007. I understand it had raced at North Devon SC in Colin's hands, along with traveller events and Nationals over a period of some years.

There were indeed a couple of sheep roaming around the boatpark / campsite in the early hours of Saturday morning - thankfully the missus brought my wellington boots for the weekend...... got to get the practice in for the Nationals!
A superb weekend, Thanks to everyone at seasalter and the Sprint 15 Association for the venue and organisation :lol: Fantastic sailing conditions on Saturday, and a lovely spread on Saturday night :wink: Sunburn to take back to work, a daughter that won't stop talking about how the tent leaked on mu...
Thanks Bob, I had a quick chat with Gordon at QMSC this morning before going out for a fun blast around the place. I had noticed the requirements for the ECP race - flares, compass, 10m tow line etc etc. and although I can lay my hands on these I think that Seasalter is going to benefit my pursuit o...
