Whitstable Yacht Club 2010-08-27T10:21:48Z Copyright (c) 2010 ExpressionEngine tag:wyc.org.uk,2010:08:27 Trying to find Dart 18 sails (number 6195)… tag:wyc.org.uk,2010:forums/viewthread/.319 2010-08-27T10:20:37Z 2010-08-27T10:21:48Z Richard H Hi folks

I’ve spent a few hours on each of three evenings this week searching through the sail loft for my kit but unfortunately without success...I’ve now given up (the stuff on my shelf isn’t mine either).  I thought I’d make a last ditch appeal on here to see if anyone has any ideas which might help me locate them.  In the event that someone has innocently borrowed them, I am truly not bothered as long as I can get them back as soon as possible.

I am looking for Dart 18 main (6195), jib, tiller and the bar which connects the rudder arms...all in a relatively knackered red sail bag.

My mob is 07985 665784.

Cheers and thanks for your help.

Richard

And a special thank you to Rien and Julie for lending us their boat which worked as it should and felt fast.  Very many thanks to you all.

It was a fantastic weeks sailing in classic Salcombe conditions, lots of sunshine, one big breeze day with lots of capsizing, but fortunately no drifters.

This isn’t work related and very short notice! 

I thought it would be good fun to get a WYC league going.  Some of you will know how a Fantasy Football team works but to summarise.....you pay £5 to the Daily Telegraph to register your team.  You are given a budget of £50m to spend on players from around the world to form your fantasy football team.  Every time one of your chosen players scores a goal, sets up a goal, make an appearance etc. you are awarded points.  These points are added up and your position on the league table (across the country as well as your own private leagues) is published by the Daily Telegraph.  THE DEADLINE IS 3PM TODAY (FIRST MATCH) - SORRY IF YOU HAVE MISSED THE BOAT!!

The Daily Telegraph have made it even easier for those who know zero about football - they have given an auto-select button (it takes one minute) and the machine will automatically select for you.  When you have registered your team - for example, my team are called “Mel’s Boys” - you can then join a league.  I have created a league called Whitstable YC - the pin number is 8005133. 

I thought a bit of friendly competition off the water might be fun.  Anyway, the link is http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/worldcup.  If this doesn’t work, search for “Daily Telegraph Fantasy Football”.  It means that IF England are knocked out, you will still be interested in what’s happening.

Do it quickly!

Mel

]]> Where to a get sail box to mount on Dart 18 road trailer? tag:wyc.org.uk,2010:forums/viewthread/.310 2010-05-30T01:00:35Z 2010-05-30T01:01:24Z Richard H Hi everyone.

The title of this is self explanatory...I need to replace the sail box which is mounted on the trailer for my Dart 18...I’ve scoured the internet for a supplier but have come up dry.  The one box I found was over £500 - I’m convinced their must me a more economical solution (apart from making it myself).  Any suggestions welcome.

Cheers

Richard
