Vintage Boats at the Burton

Seems like the gauntlet has been well and truly thrown down Howard! I'm now also filled in my form and paid my cheque but have yet to sort accommodation - but may go for the lightweight canvas option in the hope we'll get some good weather. Have you thought of pursuading Gerry to 'go-slow' on the work on 'Dolly Daydream' he's undertaking for Paul? Repairs on N2255 going well and should have some paint on by the end of the week (see her entry in Boat Database). Tim

Me thinks that we have got them worried! And rightly so.:K)

Dearest Chadders & Other Vintage Yotters. More good news; talked to Angus last night and he is taking N2020 Starfish to the Burton. Probably won't do the whole four days but certainly the Burton Cup. He would have posted this himself but he has interweb connection problems!

Thanks Paul - that's excellent news from Angus . Will you be kitting out Starfish with some different sails for him - or will she be as you sailed her at Teignmouth? Have you got a date for when Dolly will be watertight and back on the water?
