Any AC guys out there up for this? Be good to have a really big turnout...

And before anyone asks, the first start on Saturday 2nd April is at 13.00, Sunday 11.00.

The packs with details for the entire Gill series should be in the post by the end of the week and the web-site updated at about the same time.

See you all there.

I was going to go but no one wanted to sail with me, I'm not sure why? Anyway I will be yacht racing in Plymouth Sound instead, just as much fun and you dont get wet! Unless I fall in again.

We'll be there! (provided Graham finishes painting the centreboard in the dining room). Might need a hand to get the centreboard back in though: it normally seems  to take several hours of grovelling under the boat with a screwdriver and some silicon spray.

Well, that rocked...

Cheers to all involved, especially Kevin for making sure we got to this great venue! Mike Rice has put a load of pictures up on //www.fotoboat.com from Saturdays racing
