Wouldn't it be a "try a Finn day" for those getting too large for an Aero 9?

Err try a Finn day or try a Phantom day are reserved for the clinically obese
 .It was the Phantom inland’s at Draycote this weekend . We went up to watch the racing this Sunday . I am 5’10 and 13 stone ( so at least stone to heavy ) . I’ve never felt so short and anorexic in the whole of my life .

Our slots are booked, it’s not a pathway boat but there is no follow on Topper boat and the event is run by the class association not Topper International. Other than after racing there is on one practical day for the kids to be out. The poster doesn’t say it’s wholly for kids, I presumed it is mainly aimed at the captive audience of parents left on the shore.
UFO did a similar thing at Optimist Nationals a few years back.

Time to worry when a Wayfarer is suggested for a follow on boat, average weight going up every year.
Grumpy, Draycott was on local news last week, one of the junior members is going to the world championships. |

Draycote run a terrific junior program in Toppers and Fevas. It was very light wind winds there on Sunday ( that why the Phantoms were packing up and going home early.) But the kids topper squad was out enjoying themselves and there were twice the number of them than adult club members taking part in the first club race of the day . Which is a good sign for the club going forward . Ps I can only hope the lurker on here that instead of engaging in discussion over my earlier comments about Draycote decided to pass them on to the club committee. Decides to pass on this positive comment too .

I don’t have any problem with any of their current committee, they have done a great job facing up to some of the concerns I raised in general about inland clubs with high overheads. I have nothing against Draycote in any way , it just not the sort of club I would join . In the same way if I lived in Kettering I would look to join Cransley, hunts or Hollowell not Rutland , Grafham or Northampton.
Are you sure it wasn’t the Paid club Boson/Shop owner and training organiser/ bar manager being interviewed . He is a big gentlemen

Not sure, thought they said Commodore. 1997 last time I went to Draycott, probably committee from then all brown bread.
