Has a Dart 15 ever been called 'Pathfinder'? I need an original name for when I eventually take the plunge and buy one.
Is there any chance I could come up to Grafham and meet you guys and possibly have a test sail. If you need a character reference have a chat with John Forsdike or Frank Puranik. John's my clubs's treasurer and Frank's an ex-commodore of my club.

Hi Stuart,
Yes I'm happy to set up a demo ride at Grafham (we do lots). The best time is a Sunday during the lunch break. 12-1.15 other time may be possible. It is better if it is windy! I'm away next weekend (9-10 June) but after that is OK. If you want to set something up give me a call - 01438 354367.
Yes I know those people. I used to sail at Stanborough years ago, when Ian Fosdike used to sail a Bosun!
Cheers
Bob
PS I've not heard of a Pathfinder, so probably OK.

Thats really stepping back into the dark ages when Stanborough was deep enough to invert and you had to watch out for stray dinosaurs at the windward mark. Things haven't changed much. Its the same old friendly bunch. The same old dodgy council boats. And the same old crap wind.
But then some things aren't supposed to change.
