Okay, I’ll leave you to it Old Timer.  I have contributed far more posts here than you have over the years but I have recently deleted my other accounts.  I’ll make this my last post and leave you to it here.  Even Mark has admitted its run its course in it present form and has joined The Pin End.  Y&Y still the best source of news.  
Good winds.

I did umm and ahhh about whether to mention it, but in the end I decided it was worth while to do so, so that those that want to discuss dinghy racing know there is a vibrant place to do so.

Post count of 6 means you have not contributed here regardless of the join date.
