That'll save me having one go off in my pocket again  Wink LOL

So I shall be there saturday, doing my usual round of the Vortex stand, then the Alto, no doubt I'll run into ex windsurfers here and there, but my main task is re-examining or should I say exhumation of old wood rig systems, to have a look at adjustable stays, I'm coming round to the view that I want a variable front sail, maybe a furling jib/gennaker so anything that might assist that.

I'm also concerned that the foot length of the kite I have is all wrong so I'm going to have a look at the IC Assyms in more detail, now I know the boat bit works, I need to get a decent rig to shove it along, so I'm having a bit of a rethink and what better place to do it than at that show..

I shall go and ask dumbass questions at the D1 stand, have another look at the Supernova, I've come to enjoy sailing down our local lake this past couple of sunday mornings, but it's totally unsuitable for my long legged monster (I doubt it's even 5 acres), so I fancy some little knockabout that I can lock up and leave.

So lots to think about and look out for.

That's nothing John. I'm taking my stab vest. I'll be helping Bas and Andy on the RYA stand, talking PY's most of the weekend....

If you ask very nicely they might take along to the show bulky stuff you've ordered from them.... RS did this for me a couple of years ago to save me the postage on a large item..... Thumbs Up

I think they are. The plan on page 1 of this thread shows them on stand B16. However you never see any of the builders supplying sails at the dinghy show. I guess they are too bulky and take up too much space on the stand.
 
I know Topper and RS only show boats and do not sell any chandelry or boat spares.
