They mean it's going to be your worst nightmare, teehee! In a way, you're very lucky.... a few weeks ago, your boat could have been "London 2012" or worse still, "Charles and Camilla" !

Is that an open invitation?

Sailing and a few swimming lessons ?!?! It's going to be the exact opposite next season : swimming with the occasional sailing... I'm getting a Contender!! Yipee! As for my "wonderful kids", the elder has already completed many races at sea in her/my Topper and she is determined to win a trophy next year! She came 3rd in a series this year, it's a start!! |

im sure we can make it an open invertation people with boats would be good especially cherubs And the only time i think u will get swimming lessons if when ur ither crewing for ellie or crewing for stu tinner (dangerous strawberry) because me and frank have only capsize twice and that was when we were racing and frank uncliped to put the kite down and we got a gust and he fell out the back with the spinni sheet round his anckle, the other time in the same race was when we asked me to hold the spini sheet (and the main and the extention) while he dropped the kite but then again we cought a gust. ------------- Chew valley lake s c Topper(RED)-29412 I14 1209 lightning-168 Whaam (cherub) Atum bom (cherub)old crew (the 1 in the youtube vids) Will be arup skiff crew aka marmite |

Well I cant speak for Ellies swimming skills as ive never met her, let alone had the pleasure of sailing with her but I spent a fair bit of time crouched at the pointy end of 'strawberry (could generaly be spotted on the foredeck attempting to wrestle the kite either in or out of the shoot depending on which way we were pointing) at the draycote open and yes, it was a little wet at times! ------------- |

Jesus. Well i didn't mean quite this soon tbh but aah well! Also we can't ask everyone to come to our club, im sure not many people are going to want to drive miles to sail at Chew but i may be wrong! Also we can't ask loadsa people to come if the water level is still pathetic becuase i don't mind ours, but i don't want everyone else to kill their boats paticularly!!! Anyway Open's take a bit more organising than that, we would need to contact the club, Organise safety cover, Open meeting marks to be put down, food, Race officers...quite a lot of things...and if it was a big thing, we would have to stp genral sailing.

Why not do a pursuit race to start next season? (at Plymouth of course, preferably Feburary to get new crew up to speed and the boat sorted down here!) ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

Or a passage race. I recon there are loads of great places for passage races from Plymouth: up to Weir Quay in a stiff SWesterly would be sensational, or out and round to Newton Ferrers in a westerly. Magic! ------------- Fly Cherub! |

Lol Ellie, no worries i should be buying one aswell but i'm not so i'm not going to ask you to get one!!! Anyway, i had AMAZING fun single handing whaam yesterday with the kite up, got some SERIOUS speed, could of done with a crew really! Oh Ellie, sorry forgot to tell you, find it in your heart you forgive us The list of things being done to whaamykins are: Double trapeze, New mast, Paint touch up, New long double tiller extentions for helming off the wire, rudder& daggerboard eventually being sheathed in carbon/fibreglass!!! So now nobody has ANY excuse for not coming out when its howling becuase with the same sails, we wil just have more leverage and slightly more speed. YAY!

newton ferrers would be great! Not so sure about up to Wier Quay though Lucy, not much water up there usually! ------------- Needs to sail more... |

Tom there's plenty of water at high tide, it's just spread rather thinly over the mud in places. Mind you, it caused us no end of bother when we switched from Mirror to LaserII and is probably why my sisters don't want to sail with me again! ------------- Fly Cherub! |

Pursuit race to Newton Ferrers would be great.

Now, that's my idea of sailing! Use a boat as a means of transport as well, how refreshing! And whichever boat I try to sail, I will be last at the pub.... Pint of bitter for me, please |
