If you are planning on coming along advance entry would really help out our caterers to give an idea of numbers.....!

On the pre entry form it gives the option of indian or chinese, but we could also go to a local pub for a meal as a group, but l cant edit the form now to reflect this without losing entered data.

Graham has an angel mast and uses P&B sails on it to devastating effect!

Nigel and Chris White are joining in both days with Jayseas.

I'll be at the club from 9.30am on Saturday and 9.00am Sunday for those wanting to get in. On Saturday gates will be open earlier than this if you want to be an early bird!

Catering will be available from around 10.30am on both days until mid afternoon.

I have sailed the Icon a couple of times but only the first version, before it was chopped, widened and lengthened so can't really say too much about the final version. Was offered a trial of it last weekend but weather wasn't inspiring. My view from the first version was that it was overpowered as we were flat hiking it like mad in a F3 upwind and there was probably 23-24 stone in the boat. I didn't like the way it tacked but that might have been because I was not used to it. I think it might make a nice open water boat, but not convinced that it is either a lake or riverboat, though would like to try final version before any firm conclusion. Certainly not as exciting as a twelve, though I daresay faster, but just doesn't have that heart in your mouth feeling that a twelve gives!

It is a shame there are not any boats on the market for you Ian, anyone out there got a suitable boat not being used they would sell?

How about Nathans Big Issue 2? Haven't seen it around for a while and I know it was on the for sale list last year?
