This is the "home" of the Sprint 15 in SA, as well as the others built by Collins Fibreglass Plastics - eg Dart 18, Tornado and Halcat.
Hi Martin. Yes you have missed Mooredale by a little bit. You need to go North to the 3rd Jetty. You can't miss it when you scan in close on the Satellite picture. It is packed solid with about 20 Bathtubs (Albacores) - nothing sleak & streamlined like a Sprint 15!!Martin Searle wrote:
Moordale is in there because of the Nationals Scoring System in development since I had to set a home club for George to the one he used at the nationals (although I doubt the accuracy of the location its the nearest one to the address I found for it on the web) and the two systems are linked.

Hey that is great. We will fool the World that we are an International Class at this rate.Springbok wrote:Since we seem to branching out internationally, here are the co-ordinates for Stilbaai Yacht Club on the Vaal Dam in South Africa.

Wow! I'd say that's a fantastic opportunity to build a Sprint fleet. Admitedly, it's a small stretch of water, but it's next to a major city. Ideal for an evening race after work.Springbok wrote:Since we seem to branching out internationally, here are the co-ordinates for Stilbaai Yacht Club on the Vaal Dam in South Africa.

Hi Steve,Steve Willis wrote:The imagery is great Martin. Our club looks like the satellite picture is about 3 years old and in the summer months. Cats stored on the beach and none of the two rows of dinghies in the field.
Much better than the old lower resolution ones - looking over our house I can see Joan in our top orchard and it was before I cut down all the ash trees along one of our boundaries.
Hi George,Georgecart wrote:Yes the club is about 100 yards north east of the current flag at 43.64094449719174, -79.33721199631691 The boats are all put away for the winter. The albacores are the white boats upside down and the remaining boats are yachts from the lake that are stored at the club over the winter.
The albacore may be a tub but like the sprint 15 likes the heavy weather. An albacore from the UK controversially won the speed freaks competition on the Yachts and Yachting website this year when sailing at the World Championships in Washington!
Thanks Steve will check them out next week when I'm off work since I'm taking the rest of December off from this Friday (YAY!). It looks to be just a puncture since the tire looks OK and it started as a slow puncture and became not so slow after a few weeks.Steve Willis wrote:Martin,
The things that get discussed in the forum!
Don't go to Toyota for a puncture - their fitter rates are very high.
I have used HiQ in Wincheap for many years<snip>.
