Hi there Rogerd,
I took your advice and sent an Email to Alan at his address. The "Postmaster" chappie who lets you know if the Email was successful told me that it wasn't, and that my mail had "failed". Do you have another address or a new one for him that I could use ? I really would like to make contact, and I am also interested to know whether there is any interest being shown by owners/sailors of Classic dinghies in the Rep. of Ireland, to the extent that there is an event on the Calendar for 2013, if any. If you have any news in this regard please get back to me.

Hello Orkney Lee,
I am hoping to have the exhibits on show in the Co.Dublin or North Co.Wicklow area of Ireland. In other words in the centre East of the Rep. of Ireland. It's a pity Orkney is so far away, as I would love to discuss with you the possibility of borrowing one of yours. Thanks a lot for letting me know. Dear Rogerd, That's the plan, and it is for some time in late 2013 or early 2014. Thank you for the info. I will try to contact him. Cheers, Fitzer

Just a thought have you tried Alan on the cvrda site? He is the Cat rep and has a couple of old cats.

Hi. Where exactly are you hoping to have your exhibit of old cats?
We still have a few YW cats up here in Orkney. One of which is still sailable and i'm sure the other could be made to sail again. I'd be keen to hear from anyone who knows much about these old boats. If possible i'd like to attend the exhibit and hopefully take a boat along with me.

I'm not sure if I can do anything, but email me at dermot att catamaran dott ie.
The Dart 16 always seems to take in rain water at the beams or somewhere. Builds up water in the hulls even if not sailed. The Shadow is fantastic, especially the X version with the larger spinnaker. Looks like my attempt to avoid spam to Peter Cogan above was in vain. The address is recognised if you click on it :-(

Hello Dermot,
I thought you sank without trace, not having a peep from your direction since July. I was looking for some evidence of your presence down in Derrynane last week, while having a wee bit of time in and on the water. The Dart 16 that was coming ashore when I first arrived, seemed to be terribly heavy to haul up the beach, with the tide out, and the two lads and myself did so with some difficulty. I checked it the next day, with a view to hiring it myself, and found so much water in each hull when opening the bungs that it took 1 minute and 1/2 to drain. Due to very light winds all week I didn't hire it. Yes, I am still very much interested, and would be very pleased to receive any info. on the cats that I need. If you still have a Catapult that can be assembled and rigged, I would like to hear about it too. What's the Shadow like to sail ? Best Regards, Fitzer.

The last email address I have for Peter Cogan is petercogan (at) mindspring (dot) com (altered to avoid spam)
Hopefully his father Frank is well in NI.

Hi Fitzer, Haven't been on the forum for a while. Sorry for not replying. Do you still need info on these cats ?

Hello again Dermot,
I forgot to ask you whether you knew how or where to contact the Cogans, preferably by email, but a 'phone No. would do to N.I.. Failing that even an address would suffice. Thanks, Fitzer.
