Hi everyone
I'm afraid we are going to have to cancel tomorrows open meeting due to low numbers

Hopefully see you later in the year

Andy

Hi everyone, if you are planning to come to wellands open meeting can you let me know ASAP as we need to get the catering organised
Im conscious we haven't been on the circuit this year but we can offer you the usual Welland hospitality

Andy

Welland YC's Open meeting takes place on the 3d July and we'd love to see you there. The first race starts at 11.30am and the entry fee is £10 per boat to include bacon sandwich and a snack lunch. This meeting is part of the Midlands series

If you plan to attend can you let me know so I can organise the catering

Hi Everyone, looking forward to welcoming you to Welland Yacht Club on the 4th July. The first of three races kicks off at 11.30am.

Directions to the club can be found at http://www.wellandyachtclub.co.uk/contact_us.htm the Google map also give you a pretty good indication of the water we sail on. Narrow but varied and long, really improves the tacking skills! The event was new to the circuit last year but proved very popular with those that attended

We plan to provide rolls for lunch within the entry fee (£10) as well a bacon sandwiches before the start. If anyone wishes to camp over on the Saturday there's plenty of room at the club just let me know in advance.

To assist with organisation can those attending post a reply please,
look forward to seeing as many of you as possible
Andy and Charlotte Prior

Hi, My grown up daughter and I sail a 12 (a feeling foolish) on a very restricted river with an all up crew weight pretty similar to yours and do pretty well (comfortably beating all of our Laser Fleet boat for boat. It's a much more exciting boat than any of the two sail boats around but tacks and accelerates very quickly. At the top end of the national 12 circuit you may be a little over weight but in handicap racing you should be very competitive

Hi Steve,
 
We wil be visting reatives in Lincoln on Saturday evening so won't need an evening meal

Hi Steve,
Hoping to be their both days

Sporting new sails and graphics (May 09)

Hi,
I had the same problem when I first got the FF, tried a number of solutions which didn't work so finally bit the bullet and went for the solution you are describing and haven't looked back, to the point where I'd forgotten I'd made the change.
unless anyone has the information to hand I can take some measurements and photos at the weekend and send them through.  I received all the infomation from a friendly N12 sailor at Hykeham, he sent me photos measurements and even a spare metal rod! (I think he got the information from Graham Camm originally)
From memory the rod is about 10mm thick, (thin enough for a block to run on it but thick enough to drill a hole through it at each end) it's around 20cm long,
The rod is bolted to the boom with very small bolts but big washers!) There is a slot cut along the boom with the bolt hole at either end of the slot

I think we are going to be there in 3465 Crouching tigger, what time does it start and do we need to enter in advance?

It changed to 1092 this year didn't it?
At least according to sailwave

I've always has excellent service rom P & B, if it's not in stock at least they phone you that day to advise

Thanks for the kind feedback, we really enjoyed hosting it.
The reports on its way to Graham but photos can be viewed on our club website in the meantime:
