Re: Hush the baby is asleep...

Michael,

Will you be attending the IC nationals this year? Assuming you get ready in time?

To be honest, in Rogers reference to child minding, I thought he was talking about Torment....

Perhaps this name is more appropriate than you let on?

Cheers,

Max

I found these and thought they were great, perhaps not "on-the-'ball" (sorry) with the dinghy exhibition, but still a great watch....

Cheers,

That's the best way though :wink:

Re: K89

Hi Mike, I'm very interested to know if you've had any progress on the old IC, since you last posted? With regard to off the boom sheeting (if this isn't too add...) I am not sure if anyone does it apart from the occasional self tacker system (but only for the jib) set up on a Maas IC over in the st...

Re: Holt windsurfer...?

It's always interesting when well known designers of boats 'dabble in something else'.

But I have a feeling, though that your Uffa scull will have somewhat of a greater following than this windsurfer.

I'm just hoping to be proved wrong :wink: (well to some extent anyway...)

Holt windsurfer...?

I do not know much about this, and this being a dinghy forum, it isn't strictly speaking part of what the expertise on here may know most about.... ....but it being an eclectic mixture of people on here, some who I'm sure will know a little about this. I was speaking to someone who windsurf's a lot,...

Re: A true rare moment in Moth land!

Ah.

Thanks anyway David.

The pic you posted reminds me of Rob Bells appearance in the Y&Y magazine after last years IC nationals!

What a brilliant photo....!

Re: A true rare moment in Moth land!

David,

Perhaps it's a little late, but; is there any chance to see the 'wet and bubbly' bit?

Sounds like an exciting version of an expensive champagne! (although as you've hinted; this is perhaps an even rarer occurance ;) )

Cheers,

Max

As in a vinyl wrap type thing?

I think Trebor wrapped his aquabat with a vinyl thing a few years ago (2012 in fact) for the Whitefriars training weekend....

Re: Megamoth

Although a sail is a sort of wing; I'm not sure I know of anything much bigger than a moth to stowaway on any of my boats!
