Hello all,

My family and I are looking forward to going to the Abersoch week for the first time next week (July 26). We have entered an RS200 for the week, but my younger daughter would also like to enter the Optimist race even though we do not have one.

Would you know of anyone in North West Wales who would be prepared to lend / hire one to me. I am happy to put a deposit down and work on a "We bend it, we mend it (or replace it)" basis. That being said, my daughter will not take it out if it is anything over an F3 so there should be minimal chance of problems.

Any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks

RS200 997

RS700 806

Thanks Kev,

Ruth was really helpful and will be pinging a message around the local squads. That being said, I don't want to count my chickens before they have hatched so any other suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks again
