Solway Yacht Club N12 open

Chadders · 12 Sep 2013, 10:40

Just wondering who else is coming to the open at Solway this year on 21st/22nd September
The Notice of Race has a link on the front page of the website. 3 races in the estuary on Saturday and a race up the river to Palnackie on the Sunday so a good mix of sailing. The club has also invited all N12 competitors to the laying up super in the clubhouse on the Saturday evening but you do need to book and select from the menu if you want to come to that bit! Teams Purkis, McInnes, Chadwick and David have booked for the laying up super with team Herring still TBA. Who else is joining us, answers below please and if you want to come to the laying up meal as well please make sure you book.

What have you messed up now Angus?

While maintaining my careful ruse of not having more than one boat at the house at any one time I slipped up when see who does not get her feet wet noticed there were four rudders lieing in the front garden........just as well she didn't see the one behind the shed!

Note from Ian Purkiss
He has at least 2 keen young crews who'd like to sail next weekend. If anyone is thinking of coming to Kippford but doesn't have a crew, please contact me, I should be able to arrange! Would be a pity to miss chance of giving keen young sailors chance of crewing our Really Wonderful Boats!

I will be there sailing with Gill Bilton in 'Gruffalo' - her first outing on the sea ('Gruffalo's' not Gill's)
Looking forward to it immensely
Tim

Angus - I fail to understand why anyone would get upset by a small collection of dinghy rudders? Is there something missing from the story??
What a pity you can't make it - any chance of a last minute reprieve!

Yes I must admit to not being totaly truthful, the real reason I can not attend is that I had forgoten about a certain persons birthday.
As I am sure you know Tim birthday occur with increasing velocity the older you get, how on earth are you suposed to keep track of them all!
So no there is no chance of a last minute reprieve.......apparently changing the date of somebodies birthday is just not done and in our house important sailing events do not provide a satifactory reason for missing one.

edwillett · 16 Sep 2013, 06:50

I thought that as you got older you practiced the art of forgetting birthdays on purpose as one didnt want reminded of the passing of time....

angus · 16 Sep 2013, 08:07

Some birthdays are best forgotten.
some birthdays maybe forgotten.
Some birthdays if forgotten then a quick death is the best you can hope for.

Unfortunately my crew cannot make it...anyone know of any crews available for this weekend?

Tim Gatti · 19 Sep 2013, 02:56

Hi Ed - have spoken to Ian Purkis - sounds like he can rustle you up a crew.
