Carsington Cat Open

Post by RobBowen »

I've Just got back from the Cat open and I wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Despite the wind being a bit ropey, I had a fabulous time - great to put faces to names as well.

The sprint 15 class really does deserve its reputation as being super friendly, and I hope to see you all again at Grafham.

On another point, has anyone got a spare bottom mast they could sell me?

Congratulations to John Postlethwaite our new Northern Champion :lol:

Superb contest in light breezes, commiserations to Robin Newbold, Charles Watson & Neil Parkhurst who finished 2nd, 3rd & 4th respectively.

In the fith and final race anyone of the above four superb helms had a chance to take the title.

My thanks to all the travellers who made the championship so enjoyable.

John

Seems to me that the sprint is undergoing a revival at Beaver :D
how many boats have you in the fleet, and how many of you sail every or nearly every Sunday :?:

If i were to pop over to see you one sunday would there be a good number of sprints on the water, you are only 50 miles away :)

Hi Steve

Hope you are well :!: We are building slowly a fleet of 15s, as yet early
days :D The current racing is in the handicap fleet, but if we can continue to grow we can then have our own fleet once more :)

At the moment there are 7 darts looking to race on a regular basis probably next year :D with a further 2 on looking ( Steve and Richard Hanby ).

As for the circuit we hope to turn 5 plus boats to each tt event :D

As for coming to see us :D No problem :!: anybody will be more than welcome :D

Hope to see you fit and well very soon

All the best

John

We at Halifax are in a similar situation there are 4 sprints you can rely on every sunday :) with a new member who is getting the insentive to turn up every Sunday so thats a posible 5 regulars for next season :D with the ocasional sailors 4 of and one non race we number in total 9 sprints so we have realy come on in recent years :D

I hope to be back to the TT circuit next April or May see how I go on then me my son Ben and Charles Watson should be doing plenty of TTs next year :D

Realy missing sailing at the moment as I dont feel particularly unwell :( but will have to do as I am told if i am to be back early next year :D

should i let you know if I am coming down one Sunday or just turn up :?:

See you

I agree with John anybody is welcome. As from November we are in the frosbite series which is all handicap and racing starts at 12 and 2.00 pm. We finish 26th December until the 2nd March 2010 which is then back to fleet starts. John and I are working hard to convert as many people to the enjoyment of Sprint 15 sailing as possible.
