Hi Bob i will try and find out who does the pn returns (if someone does). I have no knowledge of how the pn results are considered as in is coming second in a 2 boat race thought of as a better result then say 5th in a 20 boat race or would it go on percentages? The dart15 has been in the fast handi...
Hi Bob your a hard man to please . 9 starts, 7 wins and a second, nearly all in favourable conditions either blowing or very low tides where i wouldnt chance a dagger board,i might have to try the hiking method this year to cherry pick some wins on handicap with that new pn.

Hi Robin, the skiffs aren't very quick under 10 knots of breeze when not planing,you might surprize yourself. I like the archive photos on the home page there was one of you and boo out in a bit of a blow so i guess you used to sail when it was windy
I can answer that one after much moaning at the monohull end of the club. It races of 900 so a sprint sport has to give it time despite it being as quick upwind and 15/20% quicker off wind. The conversion from the small cat rating suggests a more reasonable 858. Had a go on it last year,good fun but...

On the forecasted wind i would think a sport sailed 15 could get it,cant make this one myself will have to make do with the regular gurnard sailing but at least it looks like its going to blow down here aswell.
