Re: Rutland WTT

It was good to see that Steve Petts was blowing off the cobwebs 1934.

Re: North Devon Yachting and Cycling

Hi Charles,
So you have 1942 now. Nice to see Chris Black's old boat back in use.
I have had many a tight race against that over the years. :-)

Re: Nationals Results

Yes, sounds familiar. More embarrassingly I think that was the Nationals where I tried to mount one of the large buoys and got it stuck between the 2 hulls and I was stuck for some time.... :oops:
