Hello everyone. 
I was asked by a few folk after the AGM where is and what is the Brightlingsea Sailing Club.  Please have a look at www.sailbrightlingsea.com or better still come along to Pyefleet Week which commences 1st August when you can experience this club in full dress.  Its racing couses are in a sheltered tidal estuary and useable at all states of the tide.  Ferry services to Mersea Island and Point Clear and lots of things to do around for the non sailors in the pack.
 
Now, I am not blowing the club's trumpet indeed far from it; I am merely responding to the queries!

Can someone please let me know who I should contact regarding tuning this old boat?

This Proctor 8 has come into my possession and I will try and get her to a couple of vintage meetings.  She is a bit tatty but will be ok for a season or two.  She looks to be more or less original with an early ally mast and Ratsey and Lucas suits of sails probably from other boats.  Any history would be welcome in addition to whats in The Book.  It looks like she has had a few names and the original one isn't too attractive either so I am working on a change.
