To all Dart 15 sailors
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone in the Dart 15 association a very Merry Xmas and a happy and successful new sailing year for 2003.
Thankyou for all your articles and contributions to the new Magazine. I only hope I can manage to fit them all in to this first issue, which promises to be a bumper edition.
Sorry it won't be available as a Xmas present, but should be available for distribution around 2nd / 3rd week in January (barring any technical glitches), so I hope you will find it worth waiting for.

Hi Paul,
Any articles that you can't fit in can be held over to the next issue. How badly do you feel your arm being twisted?
Happy New Year to you & all Dart 15 sailors.

Hi Bob
A Happy New Year to you and hope you enjoyed your Christmas break.
What next issue ? - so much for the ' on a 1-off basis' !!
Fortunately my arm is not broken - only severely twisted in more ways than one , but I am hoping the swelling will go down in time to attempt another issue, probably around June, assuming the first one turns out OK.
Regarding articles, the book is now closed and I have (I think) managed to fit in all the articles sent to me to date. This means a bumper 32-page issue which I hope will make interesting reading.
Copy will go to the printers tomorrow, and am targeting a distribution date of W/C 13th January, barring any printing problems.
My intention is to bring the surplus copies to you(over and above the membership distribution list) at Rutland on 19th to reduce postage costs, so you will have them for the Dinghy Show.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Paul
