Re: Dinghy Show Helpers

I agree with George the stand looked great and was well received by show attendees generating a lot of interest in the fleet. We appear in the RYA Show video now on Y and Y. If I was clever like Liam I would add a link but .........

Re: Grafham Cat Open 21/22 Oct

Grafham potentially cancelling because of fears of a little puff of wind, have they been nobbled by the Muesli eaters in the fleet? are the South Island contingent worried ferries might be cancelled? and or is this another BREXIT issue?

Re: Newsprint Sprint 15 class magazine

Oh dear as next editor how am I meant to compete with that.

Please please please e mail me (newsletter@sprint15.com) with articles, tips, gossip, photos, world journalistic scoops or any vaguely Sprint orientated rambles. We all want to avoid 22 pages of Anonymouse don't we.
