Our Club received the prize for getting 20 or more members to purchase tickets, so two training bouys ready for cadet training.
Well done to Marconi members!

There were a lot of Solos & Fireballs at the show ... hard to work out which was the class association
I too thought the ikon was looking good, is the rig tension really all done on that lever of the bow? |

No idea, why did the Exocet edge it for you, it wasn't even red.

2nd bit was aimed at a mothist, really. It edged it partly because I just loved the hull shape, and partly because of the engineering involved in the mast stump. For all I know the red one was V similar in this, but it was the exocet that I looked at more closely. Rather liked the A class cat, too. For me, worst boats at the show, the Hartley 10 and 12. Was it just me, or did the thwart in the 12 really look like kitchen work top? |

Can't say I noticed doesn't everything other than the Supernova that Hartley make look like kitchen bits.
That Aardvark moth thing must be a bit of a breakthrough sticking the wand a bit further ahead like that.

That seems a little inadequate. Those levers are real finger crushers. Is the forestay fixed at the hounds (I know I should have looked harder).

Highlights for me (considering staff as well as product) were;
OK (I'm biased) Europe Finn D1 (just to keep Russ happy) Supernova Contender Alto (hopefully going to get a go shortly) Rooster Dissapointments; Streaker stand Very few cats No (genuine) "show special" deals like there used to be Int Moths seemingly completely forgetting that they. Used to be water-bourne (same as their website) Edited by Bootscooter - 04 Mar 13 at 11:22pm |
