CVRDA

Giving him a novice crew works quite well!

We'd like to sleep over in the van in the club car park again if that's OK. Will the outside loo be open overnight?

Chris recommended it for the Merlin - you can buy it in the camping shop in Trowbridge (BCH in Islington up by the Shaw Trust garden centre) or Cordens in Warminster

If you are at Frensham, talk to Sandy at the weekend as he has some good spare parts. On the old lasers there was a metal cap for the top of the mast onto which the sail threaded. Does anyone have one we could acquire? We have a brand new radial sail with no cap. I could probably stitch webbing on b...

If the Lark in question is number 12 let him sail. It is owned and sailed fully in the CVRDA spirit - it is the oldest known Lark in existance and he has fully restored it from a sad hulk. Phil isn't out for prizes, just a good sail in good company.

Pat and Sandy arriving saturday, Half Cut and camper van at the ready so 2 more for dinner.

We didn't do Plymouth this year because we've only just bought the Merlin and want to get it all up together and get some practice before any events, particularly sea, as we are currently so reliant on the rescue boat if we capsize - bigger buoyancy bags are being ordered! Next year we are much more...

How about aproaching Rock SC. Not too far from Roadford and estuary/sea sailing. Good reputation for hospitality too!

Can't make Saturday and we need a weekend off (and a new rudder) after the Larks at Littlehampton!

Personally we aren't bothered about the prizes, just looking forward to having a good race on a big lake with some decent winds and lots of good beer, food and company!
Looks like there will be a large flock of migrating Shearwaters there!

..... and is looking forward to Frensham and Roadford!

Another for John and Lyn's collection???

Do you want dome photos from Roadford? (and various Shearwater ones)
Or even a movie or two featuring Roger's Hornet at Roadford?
Digital of course.

my favourite is http://www.metcheck.com Put in the postcode of your venue or just go by county and get detail of 48 hours or up to 7 days in 3 hourly intervals (click the day in 1-7 day view) and 8-14 days in less detail each day Also online weather forum to find out what it's like at that moment an...

Hear hear! Great fun. Roger falling out the back of the jeep ws a sight not to be missed!! The Merlin twice came up like a submarine - completely under water apart from foredeck and mast and totaly un-manoevreable! We sat there with visions of Chris's pride and joy going down beneath us!! Someone re...

Tempting, especially with the children away! Presumably the hamdicap is open to any age boat?
