Will it make the sailing any closer!

Well done Tudor and Toby

Tudor and Toby finished 18th in the 5o5 National Championships in Torbay. They were lying 13th last night but seemed to have an unhappy day today! Nevertheless it was a very good effort in their first open event together - well done!

Dinghy Cruising

2008-03-09T20:49:39+00:00

Anyone who is interested in dinghy cruising is welcome to contact me via the private message facility or direct at: enquiries at garytheplumber dot co dot uk
We are hoping to arrange at least one cruising event per month as well as the usual last minute adventures when the weather permits. Bring out the explorer in you. GTP

Volunteers needed…

2008-03-06T23:35:51+00:00

...for two things:

First of all, I need a crew for Easter weekend – probably Friday, Saturday, Monday

Secondly, Whitstable is holding the Mirror Southern Area Championships on 3rd and 4th May. We need help mainly for two things – meeting and greeting boats on the Saturday morning, including moving of road trailers to the West Quay; and safety boat crews for both days (not sure how many yet). There may be other jobs to be done as well. If you are able to help we would be most grateful. Whitstable has a strong young Mirror fleet and we want to put on a great event for them and for the many visiting boats who will be there.

If you would be willing to help with any of these things please let me know as soon as possible. I hope to be at the improver training tomorrow night if anyone wants to talk to me about it then.

Welcome to the General Handicap Forum

2008-03-03T01:00:46+00:00

The General Handicap forum is open for use. I’d like to start the first discussion by asking those with experience of doing it what they think is the best method of mounting an outboard on a stern sheeted dinghy. There has been some discussion of this in the GP14 class forum, but no real consensus.
