DINGHY SHOW - photos

Very surprised. Show finished at  5. Stand packed up, boat on trailer and ready to go. Elaine and I on the m1 by 6 o'clock. 

I thought it was a particularly good show this year.
Loved the Farr - beautiful looking and a superb carbon block gantry idea.
If that wasn't built from trees then I'd have that on my wish list.

Chatted with iGRF about the EPS, spent too much money, chatted with lovely people whilst manning the Lightning stand (we sold one!), was almost persuaded to try/buy a 300 and then drank champagne with the Y&Y / Chelsea mags people at the end :-)
The Hadron was interesting - looked like a single-handed N12 to me.
A superb year for the show I reckon - pretty much the best one I think I've been to.

No pics of the black OK? It was the one boat I wanted to take home, thought it looked superb!

Where was it? Normally anything shiny and black attracts me like a moth to a flame, I very nearly touched a black Merlin even, but I didn't see a black OK, not that I think I'd have known what it was even if I had seen an old wooden boat painted black..

I missed the Icon and the Blaze stand, no idea where that was, i thought I'd covered everywhere.

I also liked the look of the black OK.  I've had an OK before (2 in fact) and quite liked sailing it.  I suspect it would suit me even better now.  I might try looking for a cvrda eligible one.
