What Wandrous needs is a kite!
I have ( somewhere i hope I can find it ) a kite from 94, which i could donate. ( not 1994, sail number 94 )

Awesome! I saw the pictures on Thursday night but didn't even think to look for 'current' boats in there! That's pretty cool.

I took a photo of one of the pictures on my phone, but it might be nice if we can get some scans of them to go on the website if the owner doesn't mind.

So how did Flat Stanley do at the nationals? Hope it stayed together! I wont forget Alex looking back at me on the wire with the tiller in his hand and obviously no longer part of the boat on the last race 2009!

Jo and Beth were really flying in Stanley - there was barely any weight in that boat. Shame you couldn't make it Ross, it's time to get Fuzzy sorted out.

Flat Stanley is a truely iconic boat But looks a bit rough at present and suffereed from a few leaks when capsized on the tuesday.

It would be fitting for the class to give her a bit of a tarting up.

While this may take longer than 1 weekend to do a proper job I reccomend that if we have no other projects to focus on several people could make a good start on a refurbishment of Flat Stanley.

He would then be ready to give another series of young cherubers a lead into the class.
