Re: Classic/ Lowrider Moth training at Oxford SC
Just to say thank you to Ian, Lyndon, Alan and all others for the welcome to the moth clan. Will practice the climbing around technique to get back on board, and hopefully at the next gathering we can all get afloat. Think I might have to do some aesthetic smartening up of the boat having seen the p...

Re: Merlin PYs...
Dougal is right, if you take the actual PY of the Merlins when the age handicaps were first introduced it was if I recall correctly 1024, so add your 50 to that and you are in the 1075 mark at least, After all your boat has not got any faster with age.
