Hi One and All, I have entered the Coquet Sailing Club Frostbite series and I sailed the first one this weekend 2 up. I looked on the website here and found the PY for sailing Uni Rig and for Sport mode but can not see anything that shows the PY for sailing 2 up as althouth the ISAF rating is there ...
I absolutely love my 15 and generally sail in Sport mode single handed and 2 up in the North Sea. I love the flexibility the boat offers and in particular not haveing to rely on crew. I think that the DX rig is a great development and adds even greater flexibility to the boat. In addition, it makes ...
Hi All, On the way in tonight I had a bit of an argument with the habour wall. Unfortunatley one of the hulls hit the wall at quite a pace and chipped the first inch or more of the "pointy bit". I was wondering if someone might advise what is the best material to use to repair the point as...
Hi All, I think the DX is an excellent developement (although I haven't tried it yet). I am very interested in getting a set of the sails and using them but not necessarily every time I go out (depending upon conditions). Does there need to be a rigging change for the DX jib to fit the boat?? Cheers...
I was reading the section on the new DX sails (and I have asked Steve Sawford for a price) and it mentions new style Sprint 15 shirts. Is there any details of sprint 15 shirts???
Hi All, Adrian (1874) here from "rite up north". I just felt I wanted to put my "two penneth" in on the DX rig. Firstly, looks. I think the rig looks great and really modern. I showed it to the young upstarts in our club and they said I should dump my Dart 15 and "get one of...
Hi, Mr.Magoo here 1874. 1874 has been at Amble for about 5 years now. I have owned it for about 3 and when the previous club member bought it we met the previous owner in Edinburgh. He said he'd bought it from someone in the Isle of Man and the boat had a Manx boat number on the side. Boat is in exc...
Hi All, I am a bit thick! That's why I call my boat Mr.Magoo (Actually that is not why I call it that. I call it that as a result of coming last (by a country mile) and having to be rescued at Beaver last year). Anyway, everyone is on about the Winter series but I can't see the dates anywhere on the...
Swanage sounds like good fun. And a winter TT at Carsington would be great -not too far to come from Durham, if i can get a boat there. Ben Ben, I live in Sunderland and would also be interested in traveling to Carsington or other events in the Winter series. Perhaps we could co-ordinate??? Not sur...
WOW! Just been to pick up my boat from Steve Sawfords. My boat has had a very hard life sailing in the North sea in Northumberland and suffering the wonders of our very steep concrete slipway! I asked Steve to "do his stuff" and give the old girl some much needed TLC. When I arrived to pic...
