This event was brilliant last year and the club really looked after us - sailing on the Sunday might be a bit less hazy without all that free booze!
Jo and I will be making the trip up and also hoping for some warmer weather. I was out in the Laser yesterday and it was literally freezing with ice forming on the control lines so anything above zero will be an inprovement on that.
Regards,

I will be coming up too but all this cold weather has kept me away from the varnishing of my new thwart etc so may have to bring Squidgy Bits unless we get a sudden warm spell. Beware Ed I will have my Scottish Super Crew onboard for this one! Have we got a bug on the discussion pages as it seems to be putting large gaps inbetween the lines? Howard C
Beware Ed I will have my Scottish Super Crew onboard for this one!
I hope Howard that you have cleared this with the Scottish mafia, you don't want to start an international incident8) Not that I am try to teach my grand father to suck eggs!
Havent you got a crew Angus?;D
Looking forward to welcoming the return of ex-pat Scot Richard Harvey, winner of the Lairwell Trophy in 1994, 6th in the Burton Cup race in 1995!!
And I am reunited with my own Scottish Super crew who last sailed with me 21 years ago when we won the Lairwell Trophy!
John is on the case, he usually does pretty well at providing super:Pcrews.
Copsey family will be there again. 3528 or 3538?. Looking forward to it.

Good to see all these boats coming up from down south......Obviously not too GULable:)
Forecast is dry, sunny, light winds and day time highs of 6 to 7degC...looking good!
Any more coming?
Storey family should be there sailing 3514
Ed
Sorry, family Clark no longer able to be there
:(
Eeeeh it won't be the same with no Clarks there, who am I going to cadge my early morning coffee off, especially as I hear wimpy Willett is staying in a B&B.
rumour has it that a certain Chadders has wimped as well, that s 2 in a row....going for an early season hatrick maybe but if he doesn't start moving those boats sharpish Sarah will have em turned into planters.
For those of you who are concerned about my present travel ban don't worry (or do), apparently John Hugo needs some trees pruned (Although he doesn't know it) this weekend, I just hope she who does not get her feet wet does not look out the window this evening cause she may wonder why there is a boat hooked on to the back of the car;D
Sorry guys - won't be there to beat Ed this year!
No crew and too much work on.
So many boats to mend- so little time.

Hi Angus, how did you know that I have man coming to fell a tree at 8.30 tomorrow? I won't be at the club till 10.00 to welcome you.
The NOR says BYOB, but there will be a few bottles of free wine from my well stocked cellar. There will also be a veggie option specially for you on Saturday evening.

A thoroughly enjoyable weekend hosted by Annandale SC who treated their guests to some great racing and wonderful hospitality despite tricky weather conditions.
A highly competitive main fleet saw the top positions taken by DCB's with Steve and Joanne Sallis (N3531) retaining their title but pushed hard by Chris Day and Sophie Richards (N3526) and Nick and Tania Copsey (N3528 ). The DCB's didnt have things all their way with the Feeling Foolish designs of Richard Harvey and Crawford Paris (N3475), Ed and Tom Storey (N3514)and Mark and Toby/Anna Simpson (N3462) mixing it up at the front.
A rather depleted Vintage fleet saw Ed Willett and Sarah Smith (N1833) take top position (despite a capsize in race 3!) ahead of Brian Herring and Ros Stevenson (N1673) and Angus Beyts and Boo (N2153).
Our thanks from the Scottish region for all the support from visitors who along with the host club make this event what it is.
Yachts and Yachting article to follow once I have sourced some photographs to accompany it.
Sounds like a great event. I am impressed to hear that Christian and Sophie camped. Hard as nails!

Very interested to read your report in Y and Y Ed and your mention of the Daily Express Trophy first presented in 1956. Both Richard Roscoe (who needs no introduction in the N12s) and I were among the small fleet of N12s and Fireflies at Loch Earn in 1956. Richard won in a Curry Mk.6. I was 4th in a Holt. Cotton sails in those days. None of us from the Cowal Holy Loch S.C. had a car and so we took four boats to and back from Loch Earn on the back of a coal lorry based in Sandbank.It was wet going to Loch Earn and most of us sheltered under what the Scots call a "hap" (a canvas cover) alongside the boats on trestles. Changed days. Nigel Fordyce ex-1149 and 3535.
