Meds,

do you mean for the boat, or "meds" for the crew and/or helm?

Jim N3130 (Wood be there, but difficult to get the boat on Sleazyjet without incurring undue excess baggage costs.... ;D ;D)

'discussion' with the crew is ongoing but at present we are coming so two tickets would be good.

If you do see a girl wrapped up like an eskimo looking bored please talk to her!  I will buy you all a pint later if she has a good time!!

p.s. i mean on the water!

Hi,

Will be attending but can't stop for the meal I'm afraid.

Does anyone know if P & B or Alverbanks do 'try a suit of sails for a day' especially If we promise to buy the new set from them this winter!!!!

Dont know if they do, depends upon what they have on the shelf.  I am sure we can rustle up a set for you to have a look at - assuming the absence of a ridiculous amount of wind!  We have P&B, let me know if you want to.

That would be brilliant John, although if the early weather forecast is to be believed a pillow case would give plenty of sail.What's your boat name or number.

Just goes to prove what a fantastic class the N12 is! ;D

Windguru says much less wind than BBC -- who would you trust?  Not sure our joint crew weight of 17st is up to 20 knts of breeze :(

Kevin,
Jo and I will be there for the sailing.  Sadly we will have to rush off before the prizes or the dinner to rescue the babysitter.
