Another one of Erling Holmberg's raiding parties was spotted at Grafham today in the process of exporting another Dart 15 to Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. The proud new owner of Dartr 15 #1813(Dave Routh, I think) said "I can't tell a lie, it was Erling's idea". Dave, who was taught to sail a Dart 18 by Bob Milton, is returning to Catamaran Sailing after a 16 year lay-off to have a family.

From time to time Auntie Holmberg can be seen in the new boat park at Shanklin, counting the Dart 15's, nudging them into a neat line, closer and closer. 1,2,3...11,12. "Ah we can get another in there".We know then that another unsuspecting ex Laser or Cat sailor will feel the hand on his shoulder. "I've got just the boat for you my boy, a bargain".

This is great news for Shanklin and their growing fleet. But I think they need a bit of forward planning.

What happens when "1,2,3...11,12" turns into "1,2,3...19,20, errr Geoff, can I borrow some of your fingers and toes?"
