Sadly not - concentration span of a gnat!   Likely to sail between races though.

Looking really good - already 20+ entries!

Don't let tales of sunken dredgers put you off - it's still there, but much lower in the water (you can sail over it most of the time) and well marked by buoys!  Kean - the main change you will notice is the trees, which have softened the landscape somewhat (oh for some good coppicing!!).

The real ale was sampled at the Club 50th anniversay bash this weekend and pronounced to be excellent, so that should keep people happy!

Looking forward to a great weekend,

Mrs Roly Mo

Wax!  Lots of it!!  

Bookings are already being accepted for chalets for the summer - if you are going to book one remember that this year the sailing at Hunstanton will be Sunday 29 July and Monday 30 July (it's Brancaster Staithe on the Saturday).  From what I can gather the Jenny Lee will be sailed for on the Monday night.  If you want to book you need to contact The Oasis Leisure Centre in Hunstanton.

Chalet C2 already booked for use as Pie Boy HQ!

Just to back up what Anthony has said, the stand looked great and it was good to hear 'our' music 3 or 4 stands away - it seemed that a lot of other folk either didn't bother with footage or else didn't have a sound track to play.  Tom's boat looked good, and Ellie managed to give away quite a few balloons.   We thought the position, very close to P&B, was great.  Will be happy to man the stand again in 2008.

All in all a great effort, and great to meet old and new faces.  Well done to all involved

Remember that arrangements in Scotland are different, with schools finishing (apologies to those north of the border if I'm slightly out with this) during June and returning mid August, and that the private sector will generally break up earlier and go back later (we are in the last week of a 3 week break and Ellie is SO ready to go back!!)

Other half of Roly Mo

Our turquoise Crusader 88 was 'Aquaholic' and we did ponder on Aquafrolic for the Chapter but Ellie immediately christened it Roly Mo on the basis that it's green and purple, just like a character in the Fimbles (god bless children's TV!).  With kids of a certain age previous owner Antony Gifford now understands the background to the name!  Ellie decided the Mirror should be 'Little Bo' (small pink creature in the Fimbles, closely related to Roly Mo),  but we balked at the pink colour scheme she wanted for the paint (imagine the clash with red sails!).  

Now busy investigating the background to the name Xanthus, our latest acquisition (N2149).

We must get Joe an 'apprentice pie boy' tee shirt!

Hi Roger

Glad you had a good lunch - North Berwick is just the most GLORIOUS place as we both know - keep up the BW campaign!

Bernard had a super day with his new spar - see Y&Y online for the write up.

NWNW is good fun - and not just for the sailors.  As sailing holidays go it is definitely our favourite, because the sailing tends to be either in the morning or the evening so the sailors can spend time with the non-sailing element of the family too.  The venues range from wide open sea at Hunstanton and Snettisham to some of the loveliest shallow water harbours (Blakeney is a particular favourite of ours).  There's stacks of accommodation in the area and plenty of good places to eat, drink and explore, and the clubs make the fleet feel incredibly welcome.

Come and join in the fun.

Happy sailing,

Roly Mo and Co

The weather forecast for the weekend is looking fantastic - low 20's temperature wise with 20-25mph south westerly breeze and no rain.

Get out those buckets and spades, raid the piggy bank for your ice cream money and come and enjoy some great sailing.

Hope to see you there,

Team Roly Mo

Hi Philip

The decision as to 'in harbour' or 'out of harbour' is generally taken on the day, depending on the tide and weather conditions.

It's a great venue and the fleet will, I am sure, look after you.  Howard Steavenson will be sending out start times etc shortly.

Happy sailing

Mrs Roly Mo
