I note the Waldringfield SC (River Deben) Cartoon Trophy is on 9-10 September.  Now that Thorpe Bay is off, are any Twelves intending to go?  I understand 1st start is 1200 on the Saturday.

Same here with 3365.  Star cracking on port side deck but otherwise just chips and scratches.  Plastic padding white works but is a bit too white.

3365 will be there!

I am intending to replace the ageing outhaul within the boom.  Proctor alloy boom as supplied with P&B Design 8.  Peering down the boom it looks horribly complicated.  Any tips on how to set about it?  Is it necessary to remove one or both of the boom end fittings?

Looking forward to the whole Pitsford weekend.  I sailed my newly purchased China Doll at the 40th anniversary event at Middle Nene but then went out of the class for a while before coming back with a Proctor IX to train a 7 year old son to crew.  Don't remember the 50th and 60th being big affairs so its great to make a big show of the 70th.  Have booked accommodation and looked out a vintage DJ so next thing is to book the dinner.  See you all there.  You've got 10 more years to save up for the 80th.

Very discreet of Helen not to mention the age of the 5th helm!  Lets just say there is plenty of room for anyone between the ages of 18 and ?

Great fun last Sunday, very gusty but some extreme planes at times.  Were we the only ones not to capsize?
