Here is a link for the pictures, thanks to Rob Flack, a Spinnaker member for taking them.

You are probably trying to load too big a file, reduce the pixels to below 800 x 600 and try again

Here are the Burghfield boys and girls collecting their club prize, well done to all

Well done everyone for all your efforts in making it such an enjoyable time, I know I speak for the Spinnaker contingent when I say we all felt welcome, there is a real buzz around the fleet.
Congratulations to all the winners, especially to Graham & Zoe. 
Graham & Zoe sum up the ethos of the class by their willingness to help us mere mortals improve our boats and performance, still finding time to win races, look after the kids and generally be lovely people.

Ho Ho Ho!

Entries invited...

May 2010 and a new paint job by Chris Somner, preparation by the owner...

We have a big fleet at Spinnaker if you are in the South, close to Ringwood on a LAKE. There is a training day this Saturday so most boats and owners will be around, call me (Simon) or Ian Stables if you want to visit and try a boat. Numbers in the book or leave a message on this thread if you want to come.

There's obviously no way you can get one over Sam then... I have just spent the last four hours checking my numinous for missing Rivets, but they all seem to have gone. But hey ho, it's Easter Frday, pissing with rain and I'm bored. No, I am not going sailing or biking, can't be a***d. Happy Easter everyone. Simon & Rosie

Having spotted this on ebay while looking at 2966, I would like to know if this is the recommended mast rake for them what wants to be a the front of the fleet

Hi ian. You are correct that you should never rename a boat while afloat, but perfectly OK to rename a boat on shore.

A well known Spinnaker helm was arrested last weekend wearing a dress in a public place.
The sailing committee has suspended his membership while he sorts himself out.
How has he sunk to this level? we feel desparately sorry for his poor wife and children.
All of us at Spinnaker hope he gets well soon.
 

Try again, here are the pictures

Found these pictures on a very old family cine 8 that we recently had reformatted on to a DVD. Adrian Morgan with my sister Sarah sailing in the Swanage to Bournemouth pier race more years ago than they would like to remember. Sadly the old cine 8 did not record sound so we miss the incredible amount of noise she could produce when crewing.

October 2009. Owned by Adrian Morgan (journalist and boat builder) in the late 60's when I borrowed her to win the Junior Cup at Swanage Sailing Club. Adrian and I had swopped boats for the race and he was well pleased to see his pride and joy horizon the whole fleet and win by a country mile. I saw a picture of her on the SSC web site recently hence my remembering her number. Fesquie was a rather lovely friend of my sisters, hence the name. Simon Walworth 3469
