Does anyone know if there is camping at Northampton, or other accomodation?

I would like to go, I just need to sort out a crew.
 

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thanks to TNT the second hand Aardvark boom I had bought from Phil Cosson has been lost. (Keep your eyes open on Ebay for a white carbon boom).
Does anyone have a "spare" carbon boom they would be interested in selling?  If not, I will have to look at ordering a new one next month.
 

3219 looks interesting...
I have just got back into the class with 3415.  Good luck with your search.

Who is going to Northampton?  I am hoping to get 3415 up there, subject to crew...

Help...return N12 helm seeking crew to help remind him how much fun 12 sailing can be. club races and the odd open.
Boat will be at Spinnaker (once I have collected from Nick - thanks for the patience!).
Thanks

Soon to be 3415

21 jan 2011, on Ebay Item number: 220725845770 located in Falmouth.

What ever we did, it must have been very bad...I thought I had seen some pretty good events and parties there - the 12s must party harder?!

Would love to be there if I can - Brightlinsea is a great place to sail, and a great club too.
Talking of great places to sail...how about 2012 inlands at rutland??

thanks for all the advice, I have just managed to get myself a carbon boom (aardvark). Hope to have secured a boat this evening...watch this space.

Thanks, any recommendations on where to get mast/boom/stick from?
Also, I presume if I have a new main for an ally mast that it wont really work on a carbon mast, but would be ok for a carbon boom?
How about a recommendation for who to get a new mainsail from?

For club sailing, is it worth replacing an ally boom / masts with carbon? Not forgetting the jib stick?

Looking forward to getting back to Spinnker.  What boats are available at the club? 
I have tried to reach Ian via the club, but I cant get through. Hopefully if I can find the right boat for me (and a crew...) I might be able to make the  Warming Pan, or the Burghfield Open.

I sailed this with Steve Tyler in the early 90s at Spinnaker, Salcombe week, llandudnoe nationals (think we came 10th that year) Paignton Nationals. Great baot and happy memories.
 

I had the Aardvark for a couple of seasons (99-2000?) - sailed out of Weston SC - awesome boat in a blow, and in the light stuff too. Sold the boat after my crew moved away, and I moved back into europes...we all make mistakes.
