Having spent the day on a Support Rib I was aware of the camera going around on the Orange Tornado (with twin 70's). The photographer is a Marconi member, and I believe they will be posted on the site. If not, I will ask her for the pics and upload them to the site myself.

Glad you had a good time, shame about the lack of wind to start with and hope you managed to get your takeaway ok.

 

Richard.

 

Re pics, yes please

 

Re Takeaway, Yep and it was mighty fine and the bar re-opened later so top sunday sitting in the bar

Paul,

Last few years there has been a short briefing at about 12:00; then out for a quick race and then back in for a spot of lunch, then back out (and usually) down to Bradwell.

 

However, the wind forcast is looking not good at the moment - so I am contemplating sailing single handed with all 3 sails....

We'll be there on the Blade, turning up at some civilised time on Saturday.  I'm driving back from Frankfurt on Friday (via the 'ring ) getting in in the small hours, so I won't be up too early.  Any idea what time the practice races are?

Paul

Unfortunately, as you know the club isn't situated close to a BIG village, the club has just got its dialup account set up. This can't be used though!

If you are lucky there may be someone with Web and Walk on their phone at the club, or you could try the nearby village with your laptop! (don't tell them I said you could)

 

I was not really expecting there to be any. 

Must get a phone card for my lappy !
