Fortunately for British wildlife Otters are killing off Mink.

Hartleys have the Contender, which they can’t adjust the design of, as it’s an International class. They have been good at tweaking the lines within the rules to make it their own. They also have the byte which is even more tightly controlled, so they will do it if they think the market is there. From experience they will discuss this extensively with the class to see what’s acceptable. |

E.J. I understand what your saying , but it’s still not quite the same situation.
1) With the byte , Hartleys are the only uk builder. 2) Neither of the classes you mention are owned by the uk class association. The streaker class have been very keen to control the amount of builders and make sure that they play on a level playing field to give them a good chance of making a profit.I’ve dealt with Hartleys for a long time and I am not sure how with works with Hartleys business model, which is pile it high and sell at a discount. Time will tell , either the streaker class will welcome them with open arms or Hartleys have a completely useless set of moulds .

I thought Butlers were the darling of the Streaker class, they're the other builder that ditched a class I sail, proving the point that my presence is the death knell to any class I choose to sail.
![]() Maybe I should work my magic and take up life with the Laserati. Any other class in need of eradication? |

Any other class in need of eradication? I suspect a few more yet would benefit from your very own special 'midas touch'. Thank goodness you did not succeed with the Blaze ... and after two attempts to my knowledge at least !! In fact since you left us a year ago we have held our largest Nationals ever - with 73 entering at Paignton '21 back in June..... Many a phrase said in jest etc .....

Well there has been another very recent, serious attempt at self destruction, featuring a very nice boat from Whistable owned by a Dutch guy, lucky for you, another ex windsurfer stepped in, but you're not out of danger yet there's a guy at our club hell bent on getting me back into one so he's got someone to race against. But suddenly I feel strangely drawn to the OK, stuff keeps popping up on my fb page, it's very quirky and you now how I'm drawn to quirky. ![]() |
