Weston Grand Slam

[MK]

Thought i would split the topics for the weston events,

I am hoping to do the grand slam, either in the sk4, or loco depending on how windy it is, and if i have a crew sorted

Anyone else?

[phil_kirk]

Count us in.

Tim U will be there in Slippery as well unless she has been sold by that point.

Come on lets make this a bumper year for Cherub numbers on the water.

Beans destruction??? what happened there RS405

[Banshee Ambulance]

Lots of wind at Weymouth last summer (25knt+). A little arrogance on my part, having been sailing Flat Stanley in that sort of weatrher quite comfortably. EPIC close reach over the harbour, which was a lot of fun while it lasted, then I sent Tom K flying through the mainsail. Too much wind and not enough ability on my part. 

[Tim Noyce]

It was a fun reach though! Our proper downwind leg was exciting too...

[neal_gibson]

thats not destruction tis but a mere scratch, will dig out some pictures of proper sail destruction

[Ratface]

parents are at hayling that weekend.
so therefore i should *fingers crossed* be at the grand slam.

oh and neal, if its the destruction of the redeye sails, and being the picture i think it is. i will take that offer and raise you!
if you wish i could give them to you to try and fix!

(pics to come shortly)

[neal_gibson]

cant upload my pic must be kicking around on the forum already.

happy to have a crack at fixing most sails, after the 3rd repair most the cloth was new

I am looking for a moderate to medium wind crew for Weston on at least 3 possibly 4 days.
Lara is only able to do the liht wind races if there are any so I would like a standby crew.
obviously if there are only light wind days we will not leave people sitting on the shore all day.
Anybody interested contact me.

[Stuberry]

Ronin, Ross, and Stoobs will be there for 4 days. excited!

edit: 1st race not before 12 on the friday, score!

[john_hamilton]

unfortunately crew couldnt make it so does anyone need a crew as parents have put the foot down on taking cheese now? i know dave ching is looking for a medium/heavy wind crew but im not reli that heavy to be honest, about 70kg

[ross_burkin]

70kg is bang on John.

I'd sugest talking to him. I think weight is not really the issue when it comes to heavier weather !
