Dart 15 Forums

I've Just got back from the Cat open and I wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Despite the wind being a bit ropey, I had a fabulous time - great to put faces to names as well.

The sprint 15 class really does deserve its reputation as being super friendly, and I hope to see you all again at Grafham.

On another point, has anyone got a spare bottom mast they could sell me?

Congratulations to John Postlethwaite our new Northern Champion

Superb contest in light breezes, commiserations to Robin Newbold, Charles Watson & Neil Parkhurst who finished 2nd, 3rd & 4th respectively.

In the fith and final race anyone of the above four superb helms had a chance to take the title.

My thanks to all the travellers who made the championship so enjoyable.

Team Beaver back on top

Folks,

Congratulations John, great to see Beaver back on the TT circuit are you guys going to make this a regular thing again

When I sort this dicky ticker of mine our (by next April I hope) Halifax should be back to full TT strength force again

Thanks Ray and Steve its looking good for the dart 15 fleet at the
moment, just added 2 more boats this last week, and hopefully taking
5 boats to grafham just working on Steve and Richard Handby
now to change back to the darts And a big thanks to all at
carsington for a brillant weekend see you all at grafham

Well done, John. You're doing a great job. Beaver is going to be the growth club of the north........

I have just registered and would like to give thanks to all at Carsington.

See everybodyat Grafham

Seems to me that the sprint is undergoing a revival at Beaver
how many boats have you in the fleet, and how many of you sail every or nearly every Sunday

If i were to pop over to see you one sunday would there be a good number of sprints on the water, you are only 50 miles away

Hi Steve

Hope you are well We are building slowly a fleet of 15s, as yet early
days The current racing is in the handicap fleet, but if we can continue to grow we can then have our own fleet once more

At the moment there are 7 darts looking to race on a regular basis probably next year with a further 2 on looking ( Steve and Richard Hanby ).

As for the circuit we hope to turn 5 plus boats to each tt event

As for coming to see us No problem anybody will be more than welcome

Hope to see you fit and well very soon

All the best

John

John

I will get down to see you at beaver soon
We at Halifax are in a similar situation there are 4 sprints you can rely on every sunday with a new member who is getting the insentive to turn up every Sunday so thats a posible 5 regulars for next season with the ocasional sailors 4 of and one non race we number in total 9 sprints so we have realy come on in recent years

I hope to be back to the TT circuit next April or May see how I go on then me my son Ben and Charles Watson should be doing plenty of TTs next year

Realy missing sailing at the moment as I dont feel particularly unwell but will have to do as I am told if i am to be back early next year

should i let you know if I am coming down one Sunday or just turn up

See you

I agree with John anybody is welcome. As from November we are in the frosbite series which is all handicap and racing starts at 12 and 2.00 pm. We finish 26th December until the 2nd March 2010 which is then back to fleet starts. John and I are working hard to convert as many people to the enjoyment of Sprint 15 sailing as possible.

Hi Steve

Would be a good idea to call, so we can make sure one of us is there

some of us are fair weather sailors so not all of us are down in the winter months

Best Regards

John
