Hi All,
I've started a new topic for this. The 1594 sail seen in the Plymouth photos was the original sail and well past its best. I wanted to give it to a financially pressed enthusiastic young group to use mostly as a training/spare/strong wind sail. The Plymouth sprinters fitted to a T. The sail was handed over at the last Thorpe Bay Nationals, with the request/demand that they remove the sail numbers. This is a reminder of that commitment - with the warning that if/when we meet on the water it won't be me me that ends up having to change sail numbers in a hurry....
I haven't been well enough to sail, even at Queen Mary, for far too long due to a number of health issues - which was why I wasn't sailing at Thorpe Bay. The latest has me waiting for a date for my 8th heart procedure in theatre this century. Other problems are partly resolved. I still expect the NHS will do their usual trick of getting me well emough to sail.
