My word, Robert - how did you dredge up this old item?

PS I'm pleased to see I was as subtle in 2005 as I am in 2007!!!!

Hi Peter, Yes many thanks for the good work on Saturday. It will be good to see you taking part in a Sprint 15 next year. In fact the Sprint 15 has become the second boat many of the Dart 18 sailors. Quite a few have both - that way they can get good sailing when they have not got a crew. The list i...

Hi Robert, It was good to see you & the rest of the 18 entries. Overall it was an exciting day and I think we acquitted ourselves pretty well. Charles was very good. If the weather forecast was a bit better we would have probably got 25 entries ( I know of at least 6 who were coming but did not ...

For the last 2 years we got light winds and murk at Draycote. Well this year it looks like we are going to get mild temperatures and a good wind(20-22mph) during the part of the day we will be sailing (if windguru is right). Later in the day it will get up! See you tomorrow.

Hi Kevin Yes all the dates for the Summer series are fixed and as per the chart on the back of the latest edition of NewSprint. I sent them to Jonathan a long time ago for inclusion on this web site but I guess he has been using all his energies resolving the spam issues. So Halifax is definitely 12...

At Grafham we have 5 boats on trailers in readiness for next Saturday at Draycote and I also know of quite a few who are coming from other clubs so I think we should get a good attendance. See you there Cheers Bob PS I cannot ascertain if Frank Sandells is coming. He seems to have gone to ground sin...

Hi Robert
Does that mean we will see you at Draycote with all the stuff in the back of your car?
NO PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Robert, It could be a long wait if you wait for Steve Sawford to make one. Last time I spoke to him he had more work than he knew how to complete. Mostly just boat repairs. That was a few weeks ago so he might have got on top of it. Quite a lot of us have made our boxes out of exterior grade plyw...

Hi Mike Many Thanks for sharing that with us. I suspect that they have drafted a standard paragraph to send to us all when we complain, now that I have stirred up the hornets nest. I also got a reply from Dinghy Sailing - a different one as I had also posted a note of complaint on the Y&Y forum ...

Just a quick reminder it is the Sprint 15 winter TT at Draycote Water on SATURDAY 13 January. If you want to make the trip you will have to put your boat on the trailer this weekend - they have a growing fleet of about 7 Sprint 15s and it is a really nice venue near the M1 (close to Rugby) - the dir...

This is a copy of the Notice of Race for our Winter Traveller at Draycote on 13 January. The original is on the Draycote Web site. Sprint 15 O P E N M E E T I N G 2 0 0 7 Draycote Water Sailing Club Notice of Race. Sprint 15 open meeting ? Saturday 13th January 2007 First race is at 11:00 am Two rac...

Each year our Sprint 15 coverage in the Dinghy Sailing Magazine disappoints me. I have written to them about it suggesting things to cover which are ignored and each year we input statistics that are to be used in their "What Dinghy" supplement. This year their effort in "What Dinghy&...

Yes- it is not so easy to view what is on the chat page or what has been added but I guess that is the price we must pay to defeat the spammers. We stuck out on the old style (free for all) format for much longer than any other sites I know/use. Jonathan - is there any chance of a button to return t...

Hi Jonathan,
Looks good to me - well done.
Cheers
Bob
PS How much does it cost to bribe you to unapprove Frank?
