Just seen your email Jenny.

There are 2 late entry fees £30 & £55. I hope the former applies and not the latter!

Will late entries be accepted? I may not be able to get to my boat until the snow has thawed.

Received my mag today too, will read it shortly, unfortunately had to do the W-thing while Ed was engrossed.

I believe it is important lacing right to left, probably something to do with the diagonal strengthening on the tramp, though I don't why.

Hi Bob

Nothing Saturday. 4 short races today in lovely sunshine. Sailed about 8 miles, managed a whopping 7.3kn at one point (not sure how!) and ascended 30m (such a brilliant stat for sailing on a pond!). Watch out for Mark A's perfect pros.

Well done to everyone this weekend, sailors and volunteers.

The usual great event hosted by NDYC.

Liam B, you are a very bad man when behind the bar!

Hi Bob, I do indeed. I bought her from John Finch at Stewartby last year. She seems to be going OK, though for various reasons (mostly off the water) this weekend was my worst ever nationals results :roll: The curious thing is that I remember watching Chris tack and thinking it all looked very smoot...

Fat lads are struggling against the little 'uns!

Great to see youth appreciating skill and not just 3 sail speed

Missing you sweetie!
