I know Hoppy is going with his new crew, Mr. Noyce is going in either the Daemon or the Kestrel. Simon will be there in Loco (home club so you better be out!). Obviously I am going unless the crew decides that he can no longer go. Who else is going? There is no NOR that I can find so can anyone tell me from previous years what the schedule is? When do races start, how many etc.
Cheers

We'll be on holiday celebrating Lucy having sat her exam!

Im uni sailing unfortunately... though im still not entirely convinced by sailing anything with on-board tea and coffee making facilities....

It seems young Ross is confused again. As weston is on the south coast and whitstable is on the north kent coast . We may be keen, but that is definately too far for our home club. As for the grand slam we would certainly be going if Dean wan't on call. Last but not least I see it's your birthday soon Ross, you may think about asking for a globe, to help with the geograpy homework!

It seems I need help with my spelling as geography has a h, Doh ! :D

i believe ross is in australia skiing or is that austria mmm confusing

We hope to be there with 'Slippery When Wet'.
just got a bit more work to do now after a collision with an underwater object on Sunday. I've fixed the centerboard, just have to fix the case now.
The object appears to have been the end of a concrete slipway which is a bit above the bottom of the lake. Yes I was thinking about tacking but was also on a lift heading towards better breeze and hence reluctant to tack.
Hope to sort out the shroud plates at the same time.

We land from Malawi at 6.30am on Good Friday after 24hours travel time (via Nairobi) - aiming for the Saturday, but may get down on the Friday if I sleep on the plane!

AFAIK not everyone reads Y&Y and I was looking for a more Cherub sailor specific count up.
Skiing/drinking in Adelboden, Switzerland. Some skiing fans might know the infamous world cup slalom run they have there. Clear blue sky and fantastic slope conditions all week. The off piste was a bit mashed up though. All topped off by the fact my brother and I weren’t at each others **thoats** all week. ;D
-
why's that ross do you normally spend all the time tinking about your brother ;D
-
All topped off by the fact my brother and I weren’t at each others thoughts all week. ;D
The things these youngsters get up to? In my day we simply punched kicked and gouged. Now it's all mind games...

Hilarious!

I was completely baffled as to what you guys were on about until I re-read what I had typed, just now. :o
I'll edit that me thinks.

Things are looking a little tight for Shiny being finished in time but we will be there.
The usual accomidation rules apply even if we are not sailing.
See you there!
-
What are the "usual" accomodation arrangments, Dave?
-
A floor ;D
-
I hope to be there on just the Fri & Mon only in Ronin/GT60 . (I have to work Sat & Sun :()
How many do we now have, 5ish?

Tom K, are you coming this weekend?
-
Do we start to loose count when numbers get into double figures?
The forecast looks baltic!
We may have a repeat of last Sunday which was very wet for us. All repairs were sound nothing new broke.
See you all there!
-
Baltic as in cold, or Baltic windy? I'm camping atm, but a floor would be appreciated (for the crew and I) ;)
-
For once it looks like I am glad to be sailing a not quite so extreme boat!
Should be good fun though. See you all bright eyed and bushy tailed on friday morning! ;D
-
Unfortunately I trashed the T-foil at Lymington on Sunday so wont be there in the Cherub (I will take the 800 instead) but look forward to catching up with Cherubists.
I felt I had the full Cherub induction - 19kn gusting 27kn offshore, flat water.
Exciting ride, then scary ride, capsized a bit, broke the rudder, towed home!
-
Peter, yep that pretty much sounds like most people first experience of Cherubing. It is good to hear that even the pros go foil surfing too. It wil be good to see you at Weston.
Shiny will not be going as I have still not finished yet. Though prefer to think it is because the sail haven't arrived yet.
Ross the floor is at my house. I am sure Hopy and Tim will give you the details tomorrow.
-
Well i went down for the day yesterday to see a friend sailing his FD in the Bala Easter Regatta, the day was cancelled as it was blowing 25-30 mph 'from the wrong direction (apparently)' with gusts upto 55 mph. Plus it was snowing periodically, so i hope you guys going to weston have better weather and if you didn't yesterday the forecasts are looking good for today, so enjoy the racing today.

Depending on who you talk to the event was either fantastic, or a bit of one thing and the other!
The first two days were very windy. Tim U and Stu H proved that it was tricky and struggled to get going in the strong winds on Friday. Ross and James were about to set sail when a batten broke and the jib strop gave way. i must admit we chickened out so Slippery practiced her capsize drills ashore without us. Racing was quickly abandodned as the windy peaked with a gust of 42knots.
Saturday was still very windy and racing was abandoned again. Our gracious hosts Dave and Lara made parts of their new rudder stock. The tiller didn't want to leave it's mandrel though. Shiny looks very Shiny with it's new paint job.
A traditional Cherub curry event was hosted on Saturday night.
Sunday was freezing cold but with 15 knots of breeze was sailable.
Opps joined the fleet with Dave C. on the helm and newbie Sam as crew. Lara guested in Pocket Rocket. Slippery and Stanley were also on the line.
Opps led Slippery to the windward mark but had a spinnaker halyard issue and retired. Pocket Rocket struggled and retired.
Slippery completed the race in front of the 12 foot skiff using it's no.3 rig (Slippery even pulled out a leed on the last beat). Stanley also completed the race.
Race two was completed by Slippery but the stronger gusts led two a capsize on the gybe.
Opps found a new owner and will be travelling to Holland.
Monday saw slippery complete 2 more races despite the cold and Sarah's now aching arms. Stanley went for a blast and had an aussume kite reach. Slippy came out for race one and was going well. Unfortunately Roland and Hayley had to retire after problems with the jib. The new paint job looks fantastic and I know they will be fast this year.
We even met Pete Barton who is looking forward to getting Ronin back on the water. That training week is a must do.
Sarah and I got a lot out of the weekend especially confidence is the moderate to breezy conditinos. We recognise that the boat will go very fast upwind when sailed dead flat and that we need a bit more practice to achieve that in more than short bursts. We also neeed to get Sarah a rachet block for the main sheet that works.
As ever the social side was excelent and dave and lara did a fantastic job of putting up with us all.
