in case anyone was wondering, it was windy at the weekend.  by this stage myself and many others were ashore nursing repair bills and big grins.

 

this is the lead 2 boats out of 30 N12s that were at the gill series event at grapham water...

forget the catamarans, we want a new olympic sport.  synchronised sailing!

 

the body count included 3 masts, 2 mainsails, enough cleats to keep P&B in business for a month, and lets not talk about the bumps and bruises to the sailors. I snapped a metal jib tensioner at the splice.

that was lovely - they looked like giant fish circling!

I now understand why dolphins chase yachts.  Strange sounds!!

Greame

Thought you would never ask !!  We have a fair collection of bits you can cobble together and at least 3 spinnakers.  Pete Barlow probably has them in his 'black museam' but come up to BSC and sort out what you want  ... or if you find a doner set get stuck in.    (As for 'buying kit' ... ??? .)

So you think '950' is on for the FB as well ?        Don't worry you really really will have plenty of power .... but that can make life a teeny weeny bit demanding as you will find out !  Three hands are ideal.   As previously we want to see it plus photos and video or its just talk.

Do I have to buy the Vareo kit?

Or do you have enough bits?
