	At least you're the right end of town! Some of our lot are tenting as well. Is Scotty doing any races with you? We bought an asy off Quantum so he's coming for the monday. We're 6 up that day but 5 for all the others. Met some of your crew doing East Anglian, how many have you got for the week?

	we certainly need new sails, and the rating warrants it, more holes than a hookers underwear!! weve got a new main, no1 and a no3, the spinnakers are in extremely good nick. got scott on the case up at quatums as we speak. were just living in a tent at the rcyc, which really means if you come by my crew in the morning lying on the street somewhere give them a bloody good kick!

	Looks a bit more like it! If you were 0.962 we'd be giving you plenty - we're 0.972. Reckon we're going to leave about 5am. It's a bit late but my old man's bringing his yacht down (we're living on it for the week) so we've got a tow if there's no breeze. How much new cloth have you got, everything? Edited by TimC

	you must be getting up pretty early!! we're sailing down on the wednesday, hopefully will be able to test the new sails, if not will be using the old bin liners. got the new rating, 0.967, up from 0.962!

	That's cool. We'll be delivering pretty early on friday to catch the tide down from Harwich so plenty of time to get sorted in Burnham. Let me know if you hear anything different though!

	We haven't had that many riding turns to be honest (that's why it's not too high up the list of jobs) but we've had a couple at really crucial points during races which are well annoying! Out of interest, have you had any SIs for burnham week? I know you can download them from the website but they don't have the full appendices with the marks and courses.

	we are yet to do htis mod, i think a block on a spring through the end of the fairlead track would be best as it requires no extra holes and will feed perfectly with all jibs. i havent found that we're getting riding turns, its the fact that if you forget or cant pre load the sheet they dont stow tidely, sometimes going overboard so this would cure that i hope?
