Righty Ho I have communicated with the sailing sec and we can have August 4/5 which is like late June just later in the year!! Same format as this year. Let me know quite soon if this is OK
Sam

Hykeham up date. Due to pressure on the calendar with open days, interclub events etc The committee have offered us June 23/24. I know this is a bit close to the Aldeburgh dates. What does anyone else think? They want to go to press with the club calendar quite soon so views sought

That looks very like a Twinkle 12 that has been modified.

Cor, This certainly knocks "We have no record" (RYA) into a cocked hat. I have sailed against 1066 a couple of times and will be quite pleased if I can get "Arthur/Crossbow" out in as nice condition I picked the boat up from Banbury last Sunday but I am led to believe it had been sailed on the Thame...

Thanks for that Ian. It is in remarkable condition all things considered and has been in dry storage for about 10 years. I hope to have it done for next year when ,with any luck, I should be out and about again

Start worrying people I have been given the vast majority of Merlin Rocket 1028 .Now its not often I admit to not knowing stuff but I have no idea about Merlins. Apart from the RYA is there a source where I could find out who built it and confirm my assumption that it is a Proctor 1X ? In the past t...

Has the RYA shown any interest in this? They do, after all, represent our sport. Surely this is worth their effort.
