Because in his words the automated booking site will show that the campsite is full when it isn't at times. It's caught me out once. The centre is open between 8.30 - 17.00hrs. Con...

Re: Finn nationals

I 've so far kept out of this but now I feel that I need to speak out. There was no interest at all from the BFA until Graham and I had built a good base for the Classic Finn. I feel very disappointed with what the BFA have done to this section, there is no change to their events to accommodate the ...

Re: Roll up, roll up, buy an entire museum collection

The only boats I would be remotely interested in would be Seabeat designed by Ray Rouse and Hornet 17. However Seonaidh says NO.

Re: Roadford July 2017

Hi David
Lets just play it by ear and see who does turn up. Remember everyone qualifies for the CVRDA event. Except some of the "modern Int.Moths". As to calling it a Nationals that up to you.
