Hiya All,

 

Still looking, but for reference.....

Brittania were looking good until I told them I had a home conversion camper van. So they won't touch me

Green flag seem reasonable and have sensible limits on size and weight. 2 Issues:- They will only tow a trailer 7metres long which is ok but not the mast!!! also if the trailer breaks down they will recover it but you have to pay the costs.

RAC cover will only cover a vehicle 18 foot long which is ok for my current van, but I was hoping to get one slightly longer. Same deal on the trailer 25 foot long but won't pay to recover the trailer. Need to look more closely at Nobles boat trailer assistance.

Really I want Green flag for the van and RAC/Noble Boat trailer assistance for the trailer. Problem with the boat trailer assistance is it's only in the UK!!

Hi Phil,

Would love a Tornado (or even a go on one) but you know those roads in Wales just aren't designed for 10ft wide boats, or the beach for that matter if we all decide to go and buy them. We have about 7 Hurricanes and a couple of Dart 16s on the beach now and still racing to the surrounding villages for a pint or three. Will let everyone know that there's a nice green 5.9 for sale.

There is also camping on the beach itself if you don't mind roughing it, much easier to roll out of the bar and straight into your tent (and it's free). But plenty of local sites.

I'll post an invite to the cat open here in case anyone is interested I know it's a fair old treck but I honestly believe it's worth it. And we've bought new marker bouys so you might be able to see the course now.

Top of the hill, 5 minute walk to the beach.

Really lovely place tresaith, used to enjoy the hurricane opens.

Sorry Fraser, but it had to be one of you two and I just guessed. How are all the welsh mob? Think green hurricane for me! Crossed to the dark side and sailing tornado's now.

Hurricane 485 is still for sale if anyone wants it

Tresaith Cat open is on 22nd & 23rd July and will be the usual racing & drinking event depending on the turn out and weather we'll probably include a long distance race. Anyone fancy coming along please feel free. The beach bar will be open from Friday night the dolphins are putting on a good show in the bay and there have been whale sightings very close by so should be a good one.

 

Local camping available ?

Wanna learn to Ski - PM me..

went to a Hobie event in Cornwall where one of the competitors was driving
a VW campervan towing a 16. Broke down after 10 miles of 200+ mile
journey and got a lift all the way there from the AA.

over 200 miles to the gallon, and a snooze to boot!

We had a similar experience when the wheel fell off the trailer on the Severn Bridge with 2 Hurricanes stacked up. AA man informed us that we were too big for his wagon and that we should have commercial vehicle membership (which I suspect is significantly more expensive).

He very kindly them put the boat trailer onto the truck and drove us off the bridge where we managed to rebuild the hub.
