Trusting that you'll have some water for us to sail on... Can bring a couple of bucketfuls if it will help.
Offer of practice much appreciated, and a very good example. Some of us need as much as we can get!

Robert,

I think you might find your buckets of water would be confiscated, lest they harbour some foreign flora or fauna that could wreak irreversible environmental damage on Grafham's hallowed waters...... Besides, Mark said at QM that water levels were quite good at Grafham, with the loss only of a few yards in the launching areas.

After your coming 4th at QM, I'm not sure that you really need much practice..... or that you're quite the scaredy cat you've been pretending to be.....

The water level at Grafham is a bit down from normal but not enough to worry about.
Here is the web cam so that you can check it out.

Thanks all for help in and out. I had a great day and enjoyed the sailing and incidents.
Missed out on a place by capsizing while just in front of Robert , but narrowly held off Liam in the second race.

Gordon, I need a favour. I have left my two yellow fiberglass rear hull stands in the car park!. If you come across them could you or George bring to Carsington

Many thanks
Jan

Carsington seems a long way off course. Did you perhaps mean Grafham (for the next event) ?

Grafham looked pretty full as I drove past. Definitely up from a week or two back. Either way we have plenty of water.

I'll send the water to Draycote, then, in case Derek has any problems with his new pipeline.

This is for Jan

Picked up your hull stands from QM today, still sitting on their own in the boat park.

I'm not going to Carsington till next year, so I'm taking them to Grafham instead.

Regards
Gordon

Gordon,
Thanks fella, see you all at Grafham [ not Carsington ] .
