If anyone is interested in what goes on in the part of the world where wetsuits are unheard of (almost)and a gallon of factor 45 and 2 litres of water are essential for each race.........in Hong Kong......we've just updated our website, so have look http://home.netvigator.com/~lbc/

Mainly 18's, but there's a couple of 15 'ers that give the 18's reason to be scared, vey scared, when the calculators come out for the final reckon up of corrected times....!!

and if anyone is ever in Hong Kong on a Sunday (after you've cut the lawn), get in touch through the website and we'll get you a steed...

Keith,

Have recently joined the Dart 15 fraternity at Grafham Water and presenly learning the basic cat skills (Still trying to get to grips with the trapeze). I wil be out in Hong Kong late September/early October and would like to find out if it is possible to hire a Dart in H.K. Alternatively, any chnce of joining in as crew on a race?

Just got back from a whistle stop tour of the UK and Spain!

Our annual regatta looms in October, date to be confirmed. Will post a message with details. There is no facility to hire a Dart as such, though we have been known to borrow the less well used ones!

Will let you know our calendar. If you are here earlier than the regatta, then I'll see what Sundays we are racing and let you know.

Bob......yeah I missed it.......or have I ?....Had to dash to sunny blighty....no computer, and I can't right (sic)

Hi Keith. Sorry you did not get a chance to do the article for our next magazine, but there will be future issues. Why not get the article written now while you are feeling guilty (and back at your PC)and it could be the first submission for our Christmas edition! Cheers
