CVRDA

Hi,
this event has sadly been cancelled
Steve

Thanks, I was hoping to have a chat with them at the show next weekend. I was thinking of making it into a mini cruising dinghy with front and rear tanks/lockers so class rules are not really a concern. It may well end up with Mirror sails as well
since I already have some

Hi, I have just aquired a Heron hull in reasonably sound condition but with no sails, spars foils etc. I want to fit it out with buoyancy tanks rather than bags so I am looking for technical info and plans as well as the bits.

we are going and having a go at the challenge so will be there both days, happy to take along some cvrda leaflets to hand out. Feel free to pop by and support the Littleton Salvage Crew

Hi, sadly true about the laser sails, even in rip off britian this is an outstanding example of treating their customers with contempt.
