Not impossible......
we have a loose contact there.
IC europeans were held there and were run by Peter Mclaren - ex secretary of ICs and used to sail at Chew Valley when I was around Bristol.
I have loosely talked to him about it in past (well 2005 at IC worlds)
How many would turn up?
cheers
eib

depends on midges !!
canoes seemed to have a good time. I'd certainly consider it, and tie in with a holiday, but what boat to take? Canoe - OK?

There is Neil Wilson in an old Merlin at Holy Loch and another in the 2000's so that's not a million miles for them to travel. There was a guy called Angus on here from Scotland so yes it's not beyond the bounds of possibility at all to get a good turnout. There is also Loch Tummel week which we could explore as well. I am sure that Avon could put on a CVRDA special run of Skin So Soft for the midges (and remember there were a few at Clywedog).
The very same - he finished 2nd in the event at Holy Loch and in the last race beat Merlins many years younger by a whisker after 2 hours racing both on the water and of course on handicap. I stayed with him at Strachur on the saturday night having been crewed by his son that day. He also got me a crew for the Sunday who announced he was diabetic right at the start. As I am a diabetic too it was the "yuo're not hypo yet are you?" day - in the boat for about 5 hours - 2 back to back races and 20mins + beat back to shore from the finish line in a force 4. A fabulous weekend. Neil is currently advising me on a simple spinnaker set up fro Gannet.

Oh dear Garry - clearly you've been mixing with all the wrong sorts of people.
Neil and co all ought to carry a Government Health warning: partying with them could injure your wallet and liver in equal measures.
Hope you're not like that too - we'd have thought twice otherwise about an invite to Netley!
But then... we could invite Neil down south and really make the event go with a 'bang'!!
