I will put up a prize for the Sprint 15 that ends up at the furthest location as a result of getting on the wrong ferry ......

Hi everyone Looking forward to welcoming you to the first Summer TT at Marconi next weekend. Just a gentle reminder - the club site is locked. So if you would like to drop your boat at the club on Friday night - please let me know in advance as I need to make arrangements to let you in. Thanks! Jenny

Hi Richard

Its great to welcome you to the fleet and I am glad you enjoyed yesterday as well!

As discussed yesterday - I have emailed some of our colleagues at Thorpe Bay who may have a Sprint 15 of the age and budget you are thinking of. Will put you in touch as soon as I hear back!

If you are not up for camping in early April (its not for everyone) - we have done a block booking with the nearest B&B and we have one room left.

£40 for a twin room.

If you would like to take this up, let me know.

As one series concludes, another one begins! First summer TT of 2017 is at Marconi Sailing Club on 8th and 9th April. Five races including the long distance round the islands race. Briefing at 11am on Saturday with first race at 12noon. Free camping available on Saturday night - with evening meal an...

Wow..........this is seriously impressive. Mind you, I would still manage to drop the thing if it was me!

Hi Dave Sorry your plans did not work out this time - but have you considered capturing some of your previous exploits to go into the Association magazine? It would make a great read and George Love (editor) is looking for materials for the next edition. Apologies if you have already been tapped up ...

Catbert will be there too! Her helm reserves the right not to sail if it hits 30 knots though.

We are pleased to advise that the process for new members to join the Association is now online (thanks to Liam). Prospective members can register via our website rather than the previous paper oriented process. Once the Standing Order is set up, they are all ready to go! For just £20 a year (£10 fo...

And if the Dinghy Show or the advent of spring has fired up your enthusiasm for the new season - why not come along to our training session at Marconi in Essex on Saturday 1st April! Led by Howard Hawkes - this event is open to everyone with a Sprint 15 whether you are new to the class or looking to...

Next event in the calendar is the last of the Winter TT events hosted at Grafham on Sunday 19th March. Briefing at 10am with a scheduled first start at 11am. Due to other racing commitments that day, this event will consist of two races. In addition to the event prizegiving, we will also award prize...

Dinghy Show 2017.jpg It was a great show - plenty of visitors to the stand and lots of discussions with people who have just bought a 15 or are interested in doing so. Brightlingsea appears to be on the cusp of recruiting 3 new Sprint 15s - despite my best efforts to poach them for Marconi. And a g...

Hi everyone Next Winter TT is at Thorpe Bay on Sunday 12th February. As before, three back to back races planned, with a discard. Briefing at 10:15am with the first race starting no earlier than 11am. Apart from being a great venue in its own right - this is an ideal opportunity to scout out the hos...

Very pleased to see Andy owning a Sprint 15 again (even if he has defected to the island)......
