That old chestnut, what dinghy!

there was a lot of racing going on when we were there in the spring.

Originally posted by olly_love Have to disagree with felixstowe ferry being a gastro pub, every sat they have 70 youth sailors and an active sat racing series planned for this year, Also the asbo will have the standard prOblem at the deben by being deep draft even win the cb you can't sail properly with it up

Unfortunately Olly, there is no planned weekend racing at FFSC for 2012 other than when an open meeting is held. I understand there will be youth sailing on Saturday mornings, with racing, if you say so.  Sadly, the club hardly converted any of the youths into club members in the 25 years or so it has been running. Not surprising since they did not teach racing! They are allowed to eat and drink in the club on Wednesday evenings!

I'm not sure what you mean by a deep drafted asbo.  Several AltO's with pivoting c/b sail at DYC. The c/b need never be raised when going to windward unlike if sailing at FFSC or WSC, and even if partially raised, the AltO still sails to windward rather well. At DYC there is plenty of space and plenty of depth, though the dagger classes, vortexes and a 4K,  do sometimes have problems.

I note you were not at the GGP.  QMSC should be deep enough for a B14 dagger. Only joking, of course!
