Thought I'd put a new spin on an old thread. Rather than catching up with what people had been up to, why not put down what you're going to be up to in the coming weekend. That way forumites will be more likely to meet up in 'real life' as you'll have a sporting chance on who to look out for! I'll start... I'm at Carsington this weekend in Badgers Nadgers with Stu Hopson. If you're there, say hello! ------------- http://www.facebook.com/bearfootdesign - BEARFOOT DESIGN Cherub 2648 - Comfortably Numb |

Thank you Paul for your kind words. Yes, Sunday was a bit slow as far as I could see. Still, managed to do shopping, get Sunday papers, wash bathroom floor with white spirit, get 3 coats of diamond hard clear varnish on the bathroom floor, cook Sunday lunch, wash up, screw the worlds biggest bathroom mirror to the wall, cut hedge, and have an enormous bonfire until 11 pm.

Asymmetric fleet is getting there but its mostly 200s at the moment so more botas form other classes need to enter to make it worthwhile before the sail com decide to scrap it again, I will be annoyed if they do because I was hoping to find a 29er crew at Draycote and hopefully do some of the asymm races!

Sounds good Villain, I would imagine you would wipe the floor in the classic fleet though.

| Going to the East Sussex Federation Race at Newhaven and Seaford sailing club. Rye, Hastings, Bexhill, Pevensey Bay, Eastbourne and Newhaven teams fighting it out, Pevensey are defending the cup. should be between 80 and 100 boats, mixed fleet handicap. I think the beach might be a bit "Dumpy" with SW winds forecast. Looks like wind against tide in the afternoon. |

a furball for me today, in force 4-5 southwest in the solent this doesnt sound like good fireball weather, methinks we will be all full of water fairly quickly. ------------- 600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318 |
