Hi Paul, I want to come out to play as well, but don't have a front end playmate. Do you know of any front end playmates who could help me come out to play !!!
Normal crewing rates of pay would apply: Beer, Chips or Ice Creams per race or all three if needed.
So Paul what do you pay your crews ?

Its good to see that N3432 Atreides is still out and about and being enjoyed. I had N3347 built for me by Gerry Ledger in 1990. I had just had a big pay rise and wanted a new 12 to treat myself. This was my first brand new boat, and I decided to name her starting with the letter A. This lead to a lot of head scratching about a name starting with A. In the end it was Kevin Iles daughter, Lindsey who came up with the idea. With out boring you to much, Lindsey's nick name for me was Steve the Greek. The name Atreides is a Greek name from Homer's Iliade, the story of the ancient Battle of Troy which I had to read at school.
Hope that gives some insite to the unusual name. Any more info or pics please send to :

Hi Andy,
You mentioned that your daughter may be interested in crewing. Would she be interested in doing the whole week? Please give me a ring, number above.

Hi, don't know if any one can help me. I will be going to do Norfolk Week in a few weeks time. The house is organised. The table at the White Horse, Brancaser Staith booked, but now the crew is of to Portugal. This has left me with a small problem. Can anybody point me in right direction to finding a crew?

If I do not find a crew I will still be there, ice cream in one hand, beer in the other and feet up on the sea wall.

I would like to do the Boxing Day race at Royal Harwich but all my normall crews are stuffing themselves with turkey. Anybody interested? If so give me a ring 01702 205297.

I belong to Thorpe Bay YC on the Thames and on the club website is a link to the Isle of Sheppey YC. The IOS YC have a great weather web site which I constantly check on before I go sailing. It even has a web cam to show what the Thames is realy looking like. Here is the link.
http://www.iossc.org.uk/weather/index.php
There is only one down side to this site in that it is on the south side of the Thames and I am on the north side. So if there is either a N or S wind the readings are a bit out. The club I belong to is proposing to do a similar web site as the IOS site. This will give a more accurate reading for all Thames users.

I am trying to fill my house for Norfolk Week this year. One of our house mates has had to pull out. The house is in the middle of Burnham Market not far from the Hoste Arms. There are a couple of places. So if any one is interested here is the web address to check out

Hi Mike, I have the original N12 files when I designed the logo a few years ago. What flavour would you like? I can send either as a .tiff or .jpg or .eps in either the black or the blue or as a .pdf. Send me a line of what you require to smlg@btopenworld.com
