CVRDA

Neil, I had 2 sheets. Delivered a couple of years ago, I think the cost was about £20, it was at any rate almost the same as the discount I got by ordering at the Southampton Boat Show. As I wouldn't want to transport ply on the roof rack (very difficult to do it without it breaking, been there done...

I saw the programme and loved it. Now where can I buy the bike at an affordable price?

Welcome to the world of classic Finns. I have a Bruder mast on my Finn, if you send me a photo of the makers mark I should be able to tell you if it's a Bruder.

Well done Alan, I expect to see it on the water this summer and then could I borrow the plans and next year we'll have a race!

Some of our events have been poorly attended this year so I'll re-state what we've said before, for an event to be successful there need...

Have you contacted the Enterprise association, as they have gave me copies for my 1960 boat?

Andrew, it's not easy to keep it up to date but I've been trying. You can pm me for a copy if you wish.

It's an Enterprise isn't it?

Report now on YandY but for some reason Nikky's not been credited for her great photos.
