Hi Stuart,


Anything with a lace rather than a zip in my experience. I currently have some Rooster ones but after 3 years they’re starting to wear out, hopefully the Orwell doesn’t get cold too quickly this year!

Hi everybody...
Looking to purchase some new boots.
I love the aigle style of boots but unfortunately aigle dont produce them any more so I bought the closest thing I could get which were the gill competition...well never again...
So 18 months later it's back on the hunt for comfortable, robust and practical boots for National 12 sailing week in and week out.
Any suggestions and more importantly personal feedback really appreciated.

Looking to get Zarniwoop back out on water ...... Is this still a go after latest GOVUK restrictions ?

Hi Ian,


I believe the RYA are still reviewing the changed guidance, but we as a class will mainly be guided by Draycote Water’s Covid-19 policy.


As mentioned in the NOR, if the event is cancelled as a result, full refunds will be given.


It is great to have something to look forward to and hope for in these unprecedented and uncertain times, so would encourage early entries.

The block that is attached to the boom has the highest load. Ensure that it is a high load one or otherwise strong enough. 3mm Dyneema will be strong enough when spliced. I would make a trial fit out with ordinary string to find the lengths that are required.
