3rd one is Swordfish...a B18 with a shark's mouth on it.  I'm driving SP for this one, should be good, but we need some practice on the salty stuff!

Any idea on numbers?

Iain... got your 'Spare Air'? Carnac can be lumpy and fun leaving the beach. Respect is due though Iain, it doesn't seem that long ago I was giving you advice on your first experiments with a Cherub. Now you could whip my arse good and proper!

Good Luck!

Not been to Carnac before so thanks for the tip!

I doubt very much I could whup anyone's ass at the mo...first time in any boat for four months last week (just don't tell my surgeon!) and it was a little bit wobbly!

Trying to think of something to do with the phrase 'It's like riding a bike' for it's ironic values but this is the best I could come up with...

"It's as easy as falling off a bike into a log..." perhaps?

Excellent! Is that original? I can see myself using that one, so it would be good to remember the originator!

The Mark Foy Trophy will be organized at the Carnac Yacht Club from June 29th to July 5th. Then the RS Eurocup will take place from July 27th to July 31st. The third week of August we’ll have the GP14 Eurocup and, from August 28th to the 1st of September, we’ll have the B14 European championship during the breizhskiff.com trophy, an open skiff event with a large turnout. Like every year, the breizhskiff.com trophy event in Carnac might attract the English Cherub.

 

We have a long history and tradition with the UK dinghy class associations and it’s always a pleasure to have you.

 

For cats sailors, I remind you of the Eurocat (1-3 of May), one of the biggest cat event in the word very famous for the raid around the isle of Houat.

 

The Carnac yacht club is one of the biggest sailing school in France.

 

What else can I say : Located in South Brittany, 2h30 drive from Saint-Malo, Carnac is particularly renowned for its megalithic alignments unique in the world. It is also well-known for its huge beaches of fine sand, its preserved setting and a particularly mild climate, which make it a special holiday destination. Besides, the bay of Quiberon is the continental sailing Mecqua and not to forget, there is a lot of bars, night clubs and nice boys and girls.
