Supply chains for many things have gone mad. The cost of container shipping has gone through the roof, so presumably lots of stuff is still being shipped. Electronic industries have been particularly affected by the pandemic, and the motor industry shot itself in both feet cancelling a lot of orders in the early days of covid. Some things are on 6 month lead times, things you expect to be held in stock. Some things will not get back to normal this year.

Would I be right in guessing the Club 420s don't pay certain fees to WS or whoever?
Is it a similar situation in some ways?.
Maybe the 'Club Laser' will gain traction over there?


IIRC a 'club 420'   is 'Bosun'ised in build   and  has a simple two sail rig with no trapeze

Probably the same as happened last time to Silicon Glenn.

I had a 'Gem' Windows desktop with an infra red keyboard and mouse, in 1981-2, an Apricot F10, years before Apple and M**rosoft Windows, which went the same way everything goes in the UK, lack of finance, City demand for short term profits or die.
