600, moth or cherub, it doesn't matter because you can race with us on the SSR circuit with any of them! although i think you should bring the 600 because there is going to be so many of them at SSR next year we may have a chance of beating the musto's for numbers at 1 or 2 events!

Largs is a great place to sail, nice sailing, nice club and im sure very friendly people.

Will probibly be picking up some membership forms this weekend. Numb should be heading north with me if I get her a bit more sorted but if not then the 600 will come instead and largs is definantly looking like the club of choice.

One of them has to come with me anyway... think my grandads sense of humor about me leaving 4 boats in his front garden might start to fail at some point.

But surely trafalgar is named after cape trafalgar near cadiz or do the french and spanish want to call it something nondescript?

Well quite. He is the father of the shipping forecast & founder of the met office.

 The area was named after him very recently: it used to be called Finisterre but the French RFI forecast also has a sea area called Finisterre, which is completely different to ours. I think that in the interests of 'diplomacy' we changed to Fitzroy but kept the slightly politically sensitive Trafalgar .

The area is also named after him, and is a good clue.

Would that be Fitzroy of the Shipping Forecast fame?

nippy my arse!, as im sure all you cherub folk visiting this weekend will find out... Anyway yes SUSA is still held at largs, Glasgow train at Bardowie Loch Strathclyde, well i dont know where Strathclyde train as when they used to have the 200's they trained at Castle Semple Loch but C.S. Loch has silted up and the 200's are no longer there and have been sold. So as they have no dinghies at present i presume they do not train. They do have one yacht though but its reeady for the scrap pile and is so small it should be a dinghy. But Glasgow are getting new Fireflys and by the sounds of it if Ben has any sense he'll keep Numb at Largs so some of us will be sailing at Largs regardless i know some of the Glasgow team do at present anyway. I'll be keeping the 300 there as its def. the only place to be on the Clyde.
