us sailing? i wish! sadly i'll be watching the carnage from the rib, I'm there in full TASA capacity so the 14 and the 800 are being left behind... (much to Windspirit, the 14's disgust!)

Plus our Double Stacker Trailer isn't ready yet (eventually it is being adpated to take the rib and either the 800 or 14)

So sadly no sailing from either of us on the day but i'm sure you'll see me Pitchpoling Windspirit in spectaular style at TASA events, and many others soon!  (you get points for wipeout style right??)

Well Andy.. i think you might meet your match for i'm fairly well known as the Pitchpole Princess...

And as i've heard a lot about this 12ft beastie i will be very much looking forward to the erm.. carnage?

The Photos will be avaliable on the day but of course we will put samples up here that you will be able to order through TASA.... even if it is that 'have to have' shot of 'Team Lardy' going down the mine!

BTW you'll easily recognise me or Alex as we'll be running around with TASA hoodies on.

HAHA - sounds good Emma! Well, I kinda also have a reputation for Pitchpoling boats (even managed to pitchpole an Open 60 on a sailing game in Scotland! opsy!) & Tom, well Tommy "the fairy" haha, has a reputation for LEAVING ME to sail off solo!!!

Emma, put urs and Alex's pix up ere so we know who to approach - and anyone wishing to talk to me and tom, we are "Team Lardy"!! Stood by a blue 12ft skiff with an equally impressive pole

PS - my Cherub Aquamarina is still for sale.

TASA will indeed be there, (i have just been packing up the RIB)

We also have our very own photographer documenting the event with prints avaliable on the day at low prices. you can also order larger prints/photo CD/ event DVD...

So feel free to come forward to say hi to me or Alex as hopefully it should be a good one! (esp if Andy and Tom's 12 lives up to the name!)

It looks like I am the only Blaze there and 20 kts is perfect Blaze weather (even went and fixed the boat ready for Saturday). Wave on the way past (or wave as I pass you....).

Luke, I didn't realise you were sailing with a mate of mine! He your regular helm?

Paul

I'm always up for a drink in the bar !

If you wave at me your on the wrong course!   (or I am )
