Guys, I am glad the class is now back on track ad going well.  We used to have a fleet at Tewkesbury (Back in the 80's) and i always thought they looked great.  One thing, could you stop Spamming the article comments box!!  Posting 4 comments with two words on each article (Just to drag it up to the top)  is a cheap tack-tick and more annoying then anything else. 

Its a similar story with the British moth articles and photos!

That was fun! 27 boats on a small lake made for some very tight racing.

Off to Haversham on Saturday for the inlands. I'll be starving myself for a couple of days beforehand to make sure I have room for the amazing lunch!

looked a great event, but was a touch windy on saturday!

when i dropped in the afternoon, i was talking to a friend who was doing the supernova event. he loves it when its windy.
he did race one.
did not finish race two!
did not start race three!!!!!!

anyway was glad i dropped in, it was good to put some faces to names and great to see such an excellent turnout

its wonderful to see all the hard work done by members of the class is being rewarded.

A fantastic weekend! Excellent turnout, superbly sociable (i can't actually remember going to bed on Friday night!!) and some wonderful racing.

Monster wind that just seemed to come from nowhere at the end of race one, but - as you say Rupert - with a calmer, sunnier Sunday to send us all home, it really was a great weekend of sailing for all.

Well done to Louis for a very very well-deserved Nationals win. Another returning to the Lightning this year

25 boats, so up 7 (I think) from last year. Howling on the Saturday (the windsurfers were getting plenty of air) light on the Sunday, so something for everybody! Northampton SC were fantastic, as usual.

Just a few days until the Nationals - hopefully after all the talk and boat buying, we'll see a good turnout! I think all the Y&Y Lightning sailors are going.

Can't make Cookham, sadly (teaching juniors), but the good news is we now have a Lightning fleet at Whitefriars. We have doubled the size of the fleet to........2...Ah, well, its a start!
