Well that's that dead and buried, nothing good comes out of Rutland, except the road home.


Agreed - I couldn't make last year due to a family wedding, seeing this year's is an inland jobby, I hadn't even considered it.

The Canoes will be back this time, and the latest boats are quite spectacular beasts. Well worth seeing, he said, with a touch of bias...

There's very few dinghies as elegant-looking as a Contender  Clap  And those are generally old designs - 470, FF, FD, IC, Oppie [joke!]. Or is that just me showing my age?! 
Whether it would go as well, or look 'right', with a smaller rig is harder to judge.... but nice idea...
(That said - am looking forward to delivery of my Fire sail....!)

Might even try and see Paul J and try and explain why I don't really like open transom boats. 😃

If you are there Sunday pop by. I will be on or around the stand most of the day. if not Jon will be.


We are going on the Saturday I am afraid. Catch you at hunts sometime. 😊

It is very probable that the Blaze CA, in addition to Hartley Boats, will return in the future. 

However as Hartleys will be showing a brand-new one produced in Derby this time it simply makes sense to let them bang the drum on their own this year.  Visitors will naturally want to see their take on the Blaze this time.  With a backlog of new boat orders in the mid-20's for Hartleys and already well over 50 pre-paid entrants for the June Nationals things are going rather well all round.... a record year in the making.

If anyone wants to speak to someone from the CA at the show there will still be plenty around over the weekend.

The National Watersports Festival is moving to Rutland (and June) this year from its historic home on Hayling Beach.  

That would surely make a better showcase opportunity for dinghy sailing and dinghy sellers as it's actually focused on 'on-the-water' things to do.
