We'll be at Derwent, looking forward to a great day's sailing on a lovely stretch of water in beautiful scenery.  We've not got any spare crews in our house (yet) but I'll try to make some enquiries and see if I can find one.

Hi Dave
Just tried emailing you but it bounced back for some reason.  If you're still interested in the alverbank sails I've also got an undercover that you could have as well, its seen better days but would help protect you newly restored hull when you start towing it around.  email me mfsimpson at dow.com
 
Cheers

lots of luffing required!

Use set of sails available, see  http://www.national12.org/adverts/detail.php?id=275.

We're trying to get there but having child care issues at the minute.  I think it may be sorted but if not are there any crew options?  Are any of our Kippford contacts likely to be there?  We'll be camping as well so let us know which site you're going to.
Holey or Holy Mo, now there's a question

For anybody wishing to enjoy a day yachting on the open sea.  Howard Elcock has advised me that the first race is likely to start at 11am on sunday morning.  I expect that if we venture outside the harbour then all three races will be held back to back, as has been the case the last couple of years.  Don't forget to allow about 30 minutes to sail out to the starting area.
Not sure how many boats are going to show.  Emma and I are going, John and Alison are likely to be there and Angus and Rohan are coming all the way from bonny Scotland.  Feel free to post below if you are planning on coming.

Team Simpson will be there.  Toby and Anna are looking forward to another camping trip!
See you all there.

 You key piece of info you are missing is the sight of Angus and Rohan's newly refurbished boat and team T-shirts.  The boat is yellow with big teeth and is called Killer Custard!  Beware if your boat looks like rhubarb, apple or anything else that goes with crumble or sponge.
Looking forward to Hykeham.

Well done Bernard, you were going very well all weekend and thoroughly deserved to take the pot home. Sorry we weren't there to see it presented.

Jennie will be pleased to hear that Marge will be there keeping a close eye on Mr Roly Mo.  Although if Angus decides to grace the floor we might have a rethink!

We're planning on coming, as long as we can sort out a baby sitter for the weekend.

You could try easing the jib an inch or so, moving the fairleads back and not pointing as high as normal.  This should give you a bit more speed to help the boat through the waves.
