What a great idea for the 40th Anniversary Nationals and a great opportunity for Sprint 15 sailors to sail at an Olympic Venue. I have had a sad season on shore with a spinal disc rupture. However on Wednesday I go under the knife so have booked myself in to Portland House as next years Nationals wi...

My son and I have raced reasonably competitively at just over 120kg.

Hi Anthony

I went out yesterday in Shanklin the weather station about 50m off the beach said the wind strength was 10-15mph with the highest gust recorded at 20mph. I reached out about half a mile where there was a little more wind (but not much more) and clocked 19.7mph.

AND - a more favourable handicap than the unarig!

Watch out guys!

Does anyone know if I can do the Eurocat in 2up Format?

Not sure about the trampoline !

There is also the Shanklin Sprint 15 Synchronised sailing team

Hi Chris To be "at the front of the fleet" you are probably too big for both :( . If however you are looking to have fun in a boat you can easily handle in a fleet of sailors of all sizes and abilities, with an active enthusiastic class association to give you support and advice. Then go f...

At a little over four and a half stone he is mighty fast in light winds !

Why not consider going to Carnac next year 27th-30th April?

I'm working on mustering a small fleet from Shanklin. Would be good if we could get enough boats to give the class a good showing.

Post below if you think you might be interested.
