I've been busy over the weekend cutting down an old shearwater mainsail I've had lying around into a 15 Decksweeper as light airs fun sail. Took it for a spin yesterday and she was flying along in 10knots. Some work to be done but bit of a laugh and an interesting project. https://www.facebook.com/t...

Hey Gary,

I'm making a bunch of covers at the minute for our Sprint15s and would be really happy to do you a deal as you lent your boat to Dan. I can do them in most shapes and colours.

Last minute situation that one of our young guys can't go now, meaning we have also lost a driver and are struggling to work out how to get all the boats to the nationals. I have found a bigger trailer so I can tow 4 boats up but we are strugaling to get the 5th boat up. Are there any boats in Thorp...

Hi guys, Sorry for the lack of reply, trying to run a sail loft, go sailing and organize the cadets at the club hasn't given me much free time in the past few weeks. We had a fantastic Plymouth Dinghy regatta, 5 Sprints out. I was able to sail 1540 to 3rd overall in the 58 boat fleet after buying it...

Hey,

We are planning to camp with our 6 boats from Plymouth

Bought by RWYC member Daniel Drew in March 2016 from Steve Sawford. Being sailed from Royal Western Yacht Club. Don't think hulls go with sail number.

Bought by Matt Theobald from Steve Sawford in March 2016. Now being sailed by RWYC Youth Academy member Josef Spencer. Still has old Spark mainsail and has had a few problems with tramp track coming off but should be up and running soon again ready for the nationals.

Bought by RWYC Youth Academy and Weir Quay SC member Sam Madar this weekend from Mike at the Open Dinghy club. Boat looks in good condition, Sam will have it rigged up over the next few days. Will be sailed from the Royal Western Yacht Club

Bought from Ellie Price in Instow early 2016. My first Sprint 15, now being sailed mainly by Aaron Kirby, RWYC Youth Academy member. Boat that got all our Youth Academy members into the boats. Blue and puprle trim. In pretty good state now, but does need a old bow repair re-done at some point to rea...

Bought from a chap off ebay, in Southend who had used it only for pleasure sailing at the beginning of June. Now my raceboat in Plymouth, steadily tidying it up. Blue and Purple trim. Being sailed from the Royal Western Yacht Club.
