Alan's pictures are on the site at http://www.sprint15.com/pics/viewer.php?albid=272&stage=2 Will email some to the writer of the report. Am looking forward to reading it. There may be discussion of the "when boats meet" section of the rules. I hope he doesn't bare a grudge against an...

My first Traveller since Stewartby 2013. Good to be back :D , better to have been welcomed back :D :D , great for it to have been at Datchet :D :D :D - not 'cos Datchet is close to Queen Mary but because Datchet is such a nice Club (unless the wind is broadly southerly and medium+, when the concrete...

[quote]I have heard that In a blow is it better to use an old sail rather than a newer one as they do not power up so much ....is this an old wives tale :?: [quote] Derek, Your question is best answered by the ilks of Brian Phipps and Bob Carter, but as they have yet to show signs of recovering from...

Everything has survived ok, EXCEPT for the new 25mm Aluminium Sub-axles - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALUMINIUM-ROUND-TUBE-25mm-OD-x-600mm-LONG-2-0-WALL-/390225119672?pt=UK_BOI_Metalworking_Milling_Welding_Metalworking_Supplies_ET&hash=item5adb3ac9b8 which had just 2mm walls.

Hi, Earlier this year I posted http://www.sprint15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5469#p19809, which pointed out the additional rigging and de-rigging hassle of sailing Sport Mode at a Traveller Event, but as I also have clearly enjoyed sailing Sport Mode (as seen from my past Travellers record) ...

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ENTRY HAS BEEN EDITED BY ME, ITS AUTHOR, DUE TO A LATER CONTRIBUTION WHICH GOT ONLINE EARLIER THAN MINE Thanks, George, for the prompt reply. Knowing that we can do both the Sprint15 Traveller AND Bart's Bash at Carsington would end an uncertainty that had existed for those who...

Bart's Bash clashes with the Sprint15 Traveller at Carsington (the latter was already arranged when the Bart's Bash date was finalised and announced). The Carsington Website Racing Calendar shows both a "Slow Cat Event" AND Bart's Bash for that weekend. For Sprinters who regularly attend t...

Hi All,
Just to say "Sorry I won't be sailing at Seasalter after all!" I picked up an infection early this week, and I'm still too weak to go collect the boat - let alone sail!

I always use the local route advised by Steve, through Graveney.. Mostly this road is quite wide. But as well as the narrow bridge with limited visibility, there are other narrow places with little room to pass oncoming vehicles. More than once I have arrived with roadside herbage from hedges and/or...

The usual start time for the 1st Race at a Traveller is 12:00 noon. I thought I should point that the Seasalter website shows the first start on Sat 9th as 10:00, with high tide at 12:02; first Race Sun 10th 10:45. I'm sure that the NoR will be out soon with the authoritative start times, but those ...

Hi David,

I think you are selling Netley short. Britain is probably in with a better chance too. The Netball World Cup Final is during the Netley Nationals!

Robert reminds me that I hold the "Sport TT Series" Mug as the last winner and the last person to sail 3 or more Summer TT events in any one year - 2011. As the most chronologically challenged of the (reasonably) regular TT attenders, I deny categorically the implication that I that was th...

Hi Robert,

Just watched your video. It looked very light wind. The video seemed to go on for days - did you really all take 6 days, from Saturday 7th to Friday 13th, to finish?
