I'd heard there have been issues with the fisheries staff, there was a big argy bargy with the windsurfers not long back some little hitler jobsworth going for a total ban because they went a bit too fast and scared the fish murderers. It's nothing the threat of the introduction of a half decent high strength pesticide to the water if they don't act in a professional or conciliatory manner quietly whispered in the appropriate ear shouldn't cure. No fish = no job. ![]() Edited by iGRF - 09 Jun 14 at 11:30am |

Thanks for the warning Jack. I know of other fishery related shenanigans there that was less than appealing. Windsurfing was effectively banned at one point over a shore-side spat. Pathetic. However I also know a few of the visiting D-One sailors who say Oxford has been an amazing base camp, so I guess I'll just take it as I find it.
In fairness to Draycote, the rescue cover is second to none, it's a very benign place to sail that is perfect in that respect and more than justifies the membership charges imho. If I was still sailing a Solo I would have re-joined no question. And the Laser fleet is pretty impressive by most standards, a nice bunch of guys with a healthy attitude to the racing that defies the laser banana muncher stereotype.

I'm not in the market for a single hander, but will be up at Yorkshire Dales for a 200 open this weekend.
I wouldn't want to stop a perspective customer having a demo, but would be quite interested in seeing whether the boat lives up to the forum hype.
If it's OK I may try and cadge an ad hoc ride in one, subject to demos still being available after racing, the queue not being too long and the missus not asking what on earth I want to trial a single hander for!

I wasn't in the market either but the boat is seriously nice. Get the Mrs to try one too if she fancies it...

I'm sure we will still be going after the RS200s have finished, you are very welcome to have a go. |

It would be an interesting comparison to race the 200's given the PY similarity.

I think I'm expecting mine w/c 14th July. I guess I was the last person at the show in March to order one. |

Excellent, should have some news as to a PY by then. I am already being harassed by the sailing committee for one and I am not expecting mine til some time in August.

I've been informed around 30th June, but then I was one of the first through the door at the dinghy show ( if that's how the allocation is working??). Hope it's accurate cos I'm being pestered like mad to bail out of the order and rejoin the phantom fleet...
