Re: Kestrel(s)

A good opportunity for the CVRDA baton (mast) passing as we have the nats this weekend coming at Hunts and someone may be there who is near you to save on transport. To start the ball rolling on that front where are you then Nessa may reply too.

Re: National Rally - who is coming?

Thanks Nessa - hope she is good with 66year old boats, cotton sails, wooden battens, weighted centreboard, lousy helm, ribs etc etc. Looking forward to it.

Now in Chapel Allerton near Cheddar and a member of BCSC. They do drink the stuff after it has been passed by Bristol Water management. I prefer Wilkins cider myself. Happy to be in Somerset.
