What, you mean like "my daughter can't do this year's Champs" or "my crew has just rung up and is stuck 100 miles away with a breakdown" ? |

I have sold GRB162 and have a new boat on order If BBSC is Bough Beech then you probably have as I have sold it to Chris Ashby; how is he getting on? Rick PS - My comment above was driven by offering to crew for a guy who turned up for the Merlin Nationals at our club with no crew. I was 12 and as keen as mustard; I am surprised I didn't give up the sport by the end of the week; most unplesant experience (nothing to do with Merlins BTW) ------------- |

I would like to know how hes getting on too! He certainly did well in the 400, love to know how hes gettin on in the skiff. No doubt you race against his son Neil at Whitstable, Rick?

Umm lets just say thats rick's progress is umm.... steady and he enjoys the water. But i think the transition from a 400 to MPS is quite a big one. Plus never having trapezed before might not help ------------- Greatfully Sponsored By www.allgoodfun.com Int 14 GBR 1503!! |

hi everyone. the b-mary was very exciting i will be back next year to see if we can have a good blast round. happy sailing. luke ------------- International 14 1503 |
and the only amusing thing being a 29er capsizeing in a very strong wind
so we decided to call it a day mainly cos our fingers felt like they were going to fall off.
it was a good turn out though with just over 200 boats braving the extreme condition. the winner was a thames A rater who spanked everyone distpite being late for the start. the high performance fleet was well represented with about 10 inter14's, 4 49er's, 7 29ers, usPosted By: Isis

Well that narrows it down..... Being late for the start is beocming a bit of a Cherub tradition! ------------- Cherub 2649 "Dangerous Strawberry |
