Miiror Rig for Sale

2008-02-13T13:00:03Z

I am selling a racing gaff rig for a Mirror comprising of Metal Mast, Tapered Gaff and Boom. Included is the rigging (shrouds, Forestay) and Jib Halyard, although these may need looking at as they have been in my garage for a couple of years. The Rig was set-up for racing so has all the expect fittings including Spinnaker Crane, Pole Point, Track for outhaul and adjustable downhaul.

All the above available for £100

Also available are a reasonable Jib and Mainsail of racing Mirror Sails to fit the above rig. £50

If interested, please contact me using the Private Messages function.

Westbere Sailing Winter 2008/9

2008-09-27T15:34:42Z

Hi all,

For those who may be thinking of sailing at Westbere this winter, the Fixture List is currently being agreed.

It is planned to start on the 2nd November with an ‘Open’ race so if you are wondering what Westbere is all about why not come over and have a sail. This will be an ACH, but Lasers are particularly well suited to Westbere sailing.

More details to follow. Also watch out for Posters on the notice boards.

Are there any Cadets out there ?

2008-02-29T13:03:52Z

Having read some of the other class forums - there is some good chat out there.
Is there anybody who can start up a chat subject ? Ruth’s Dad.

Laundering sails and covers

2008-09-19T12:23:49Z

I hope nobody minds me mentioning this on your forum but I thought it may be useful.
It has taken years now to establish a reliable and professional laundering service for sails and covers, and at long last we (Northrop Sails, Ramsgate) have found a company that will collect and deliver to us.
Hope it may interest some of you.

Forts Race Confusion

2008-09-09T07:19:52Z

Is it just me or am I losing it everso slightly...... ( Ledger keep quiet..!)

I have a definitive email from the F18 boss which is a cut and paste of what has been sent to him by ND.
”See attached information about the next forthcoming attraction in a fortnight - our Forts Race at WYC, which has been specially expanded to meet requests from both F18 and Tornado sailors for a day of 3 back-to-back cans races on Saturday in addition to the Long Distance event which will now be on Sunday. There will be a separate start for Tornados assuming at least 10 of you enter, which we very much hope and expect. Please pass the attachment around your fleet and visit http://www.wyc.org.uk/flattened/events_forts2008.html. The plan is to provide an opportunity on Saturday evening for further discussion about Olympic issues and as it may be very relevant to the future of the F18 it would be good if as many as possible can attend.

Now I don,t care which way round it is although I think that the long distance should be on the Saturday so that all the fit people are cream crackered for the Sunday and Abs and I can have a few extra heavies in the bar in the evening but I think it needs to be made clear on the club website which is saying the opposite.

So which won are we now going for..?

Forts Race/TT

2008-09-04T22:05:54Z

Hi All,

The highlight of our season is fast approaching, no not a decent days sailing weather, but the Forts Race. I have read various things saying that it is now a TT event, which means round the cans racing as well as the feature race, which is great. Can anyone confirm this and on which day would the Forts Race be held, as given the crappy weather this year it would be a gamble not to have the main race on the Saturday in case Sundays was cancelled.

Cheers

Forts Race Rescue

2008-09-07T20:39:55Z

Hi All
The Forts Race is being held on the 20th and 21st of September.

We are looking for people that can help with rescue boat for 1 or both of the days
Saturday will be a standard open for Cats and Sunday is the Forts Race

This is one of the fun ones to do in the Rescue Boat because of the distances involved.

And remember there is no Racing that weekend for any monohull class so

If you think you can help out as a crew for a rescue boat either let me know

07973 385573

or let Mel know in the office and she will pass it on

Thanks
