Title: Steve Nicholson - Saturday
Post by: Fran G (Guest) on 23 Mar 2007, 04:14
Is anyone coming along to Northampton Sailing Club on Saturday for Steve Nicholson.  Two races starting at 11.  Would be good to have some other twelves to race against.

Love Fran

Terry and Angie will be there in Boatyard Dog, although I am sure this event is the one at which the annual fall-out occurs and usually sets the tone for their sailing for the rest of the year... Terry actually did fall out last year mind!

I will be there in my silly boat, look forward to waving at you from my upturned lime green swimming machine

Brill.

I think I count 6 at least then :-

Jane and Kev
Alan Bax
David and Emma
Terry and Angie
Jonno and Char
Fran and Soph

+ a couple of extras getting a late burst of entusiasm (Irish sp), could have 10.

Any more??

BBC showing 12 mph which is ok too and suitable for all.

Looking forward to it.

This is fantastic news as my dear husband has been boasting about the vast number of ironing board shaped boats there will be on Saturday (aka The Fireball) so we need loads of 12s to show them the way around the course!

Not to mention aircraft carrier like Wayfarers, flat iron like B14s and , of course our old friend, the (USS) Enterprise (Beam me up Scottie)...

Wish I could be there to take them all on, sniff  :'(, but can't get over....

Cheers!

Jim.

How did the 12s do?  Merlins had a bit of a clean up.

Well there were plenty of us there flying the flag!  We were all very close together unfortunately in the 30s!  The Merlins did clean up - it was their day and there are some scurrious rumours about their handicaps.

Janey,

I'll just stick to what I know - I'll just keep with my low-to-the-ground gokart aka Morgan/Bentley. I know when I've got a winner.

Jim (Don't two-time a 12, unless you have 2 or more that is  ;D)
