Welcome to the fleet !
I have not heard of anything re training at present so perhaps others more in the know can respond in more detail.
Hope you enjoy your cat - and get into the 'circuit'. The travellers are a great crowd and very helpful. If you decide to come to the Seasalter TT we can offer a free check over of boat alignment during the weekend on our 'table' - again you may get another offer nearer home.

Charles is very good, Malcom - especially in a blow. Keep your eye on him if he's in range.

I did go out to play, but unfortunately nobody wanted to play with me
It was forecast to be gusting 9 & at points it was doing most of that!
Malcolm has seen these but I thought you might be amused Robert!

Ha Ha! Right up your street, Charles. Lovely bendy battens on the forward roll. YES - definitely put the Dart 18 jib on. Way to go. Maybe a few more pies and chips, too

Hi Malcolm, thanks for making the initial approach to YDSC. I'll put an announcement on here once the details have been sorted.
