Calling all Javelin sailors

   I'm up for that.  We could even hold it at my club, and as i'm in charge of the events at our club then we are away.
As solos to that list we have about 7 that go out every week, 7 Albacores, 1 National (crusader variation) 1 merlin, and some knob in a mirror

	The problem the Albacore would have at Chippenham is that it is too shallow to put the board down, and the longer the board, the worse it gets! Agreed, the Alb is a great river boat - Dave Whittle is sailing his at Whitefriars at the Mo' - I believe he also sails at Tewkesbury? I'd love a race one day, Olly - Tewkesbury not too far away - happy to lose to you on your home waters! Better add a Firefly to that list - might have to find another Moth sailor - you up for it, Mark?!

	I think I should propose a neutral venue. Not quite a river but Shearwater has some monster windshifts etc. Oh and I will do OOD. could do with a laugh.

	Shearwater is like a river with no current...I've sailed there (against Roger) a couple of times with the Classic and Vintage fleet (Is it 3 years now, Roger?) and once with the Comets. It lacks some of a river's more interesting quirks, though, like never going more than a boat length from the shore going upstream, and calling water for the cows. It does have the fishermen, though! Basher? Something to do with his sailing style? I've never sailed at Tewkesbury though, so would love to get there. Edited by Rupert

	You could say that. Shal we say that my laser carried some scars from his tacking backwards (as in for about 40 seconds he is not looking where he is going) sketchy to say the least.
