Sprint 15 Sport National Championships 30th May – 1ST June North Devon Yacht Club Blasting from the river mouth to take the open sea by storm was hardly the format for this Championship, blistering sunshine, light winds and strong tides was the reality for the 41 protagonists for this event. The wea...

Hi John Its great to see some competition in the insurance market, but please expand on the silver rate, what happens at NDYC when I want to do the Nationals or open event at my own club, do I need to upgrade to Gold. Because as I see it if I have to upgrade, the pricing structure it is of no benefi...

Your all wrong, The reason why the Bloody Mary is called The Bloody Mary, is because in the days when I was a young man sailing Enterprises and living in the area, The Race was Sponsored by Smirnoff Vodka and Schweppes Tomato Juice. Hence a bloody mary, the prizes were vodka and tomato juice. Anymor...

Hi Can somebody please help me out here, I am trying to buy a new downhaul system as I am using the original spec. What are the part numbers for it and where do I get it from, I have tried doing a search for the information, but I keep getting directions to Draycote. I would appreciate you help. Pete

You only get free accommodation if you can spell it

Hi Pete I am sure you have heard this before in here somewhere - but I thought I would reiterate. The Sting mast is a cut down Dart 18 section, which means it `s heavier than a 15 section but it has more bouyancy which means it is unlikely to allow the boat to turn turtle. Saying that though nothing...

Hi Bob As far as the numbers go, I think you are close but I would say about 80 boats would be a more accurate figure. Its interesting you believe that most Stings were sold overseas, in fact thats the market it was targeting, as Dart 15 sales in Europe were virtually nonexistant. The reality is tho...

Hi Bob I hope things with you are well, I do tend to agree with you as far as the Dart 15 is concerned (I will never get used to calling it a Sprint). I have in the past heard and watched many manufacturers and sales people say thier CAT is a single hander, they seem to forget that you have to launc...
