Whilst I am off to GWSC to collect my boat today, the forecast is for some exciting sailing....

For those of you that approach Stewartby SC via the A1/A421, the A421 is closed just West of the A1 Black Cat roundabout this coming weekend.

Speak to Steve @ SS Marine - he'll have seen this before I'm sure.

Hello Mark. You could disassemble it and go get it TIG welded which is probably a wise move. Failing that it's a new lower mast section, but I'm presuming it's a 2 piece mast? Failing that, leave it & when it fails claim on your insurance & get a 1 piece mast as an upgrade which is miles bet...

...is that PG fine tuning??

I'm doing it all wrong.

It was a challenge Bob & Team Denchfield did really well to get us 4 races on the Sunday as Saturday was a non starter.

Racing I found really hard work and race 3 showed how you can get every decision wrong for me!!

Good fun overall..

I tighten from left to right. Wet the tramp thoroughly first and it's tight when the plastic D Rings are pointing down!

To remind you all that entry for GWSC Cat Open this coming weekend closes at 23:59 on Wednesday 23rd October. Discretionary late entry with an additional fee of £10:00 then kicks in. Saturday night supper is included in your entry ticket. Sailing & sunbathing conditions are looking good: https:...

Drinking is like any other sport Charles that you need to train & practice at!

Other than that you need to retire - as do I!

See you on the water soon.

Any results??

Well done Jason.

I sat this one out to sail the GWSC championship event and was hoping for F5+.. I managed to win one of the 3 races when the wind picked up albeit temporarily.

Sounds like I missed a good event & hopefully more F5 @ Grafham in October.

I'll be a no show due to the date clashing with GWSC Club Championships.

Hope you all have a good event and see those of you who are coming to Grafham in October.

...only need to lead for the last metre really!

Did you win Charles?
