1)Get our club slip lengthened a bit more
2)Send Sailboard Results into the RYA along with our yardstick with the aim of getting boards recognised after all these years.
3)Get a Ladies that Launch night going at our club.
4)Try and hold some more open meetings, we've got the Snipes coming but it would be nice to try and encourage some other class back to Hythe, like Contenders.
5)Build my boat
6)Maybe buy an Icon as well if Trev is fit.
7)Work on my own fitness, try and get this frozen shoulder moving a bit more
8)Do a couple more major events.

An ambitious list if I get even half of it done I'll be pleased.

No plans or resolutions- I find them pointless

1. Buy a d-one
2. Sail a d-one, or in fact anything
3. lose some weight, well in fact a lot of weight
4. Do less work on my house so I can sail
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

1) According to many pundits one of the most common resolutions is to reduce involvement with social media in its many forms .....   Sounds like a damn good idea - lets give it a proper go !
2) Try and get to the bottom of the 'Blaze question' .... our highly detailed and rigerous analysis in the snug end of the local club bar recently, and even after extensive 'back of fag packet' workings I may add, and contributions from many nearby 'experts' has revealed that just about 50% of the national fleet seem to regularly 'beat' the official class handicap.  This surely can't be right.  We can't work it out at all but are determined to get to the bottom of this one in 2015.
3) Rondar Icon .... Oh boy, it will be really that good, but needs all that new 'spare time' (see list item 1 above) in the next few months.  They might even sell it here in the UK now.  'Radio Silence' on details for a while longer first though.
4) Enjoy all of the above ... Keep on the water as much as possible and oh ...... do at least one decent 'Sailing Week' this Summer.
5) Keep reminding self about resolution number 1 !

Try not to lose my first open meeting to Rupertson. V close this year, so not holding out much hope...

To do this, resolve to do more back exercises, lose half a stone by eating well and exercising, go sailing more.

Go yotting in some form or another.

Go dinghy cruising.
