Cherub Nationals Pembrokshire Yacht Club

[dave_ching]

Is the club happy with the ideaof us turning up on Saturday?
Will they charge us for the week before?
And camping from the same day?

[Will_Lee]

Camping is free - first come first served and at-own-risk (just like every campsite) though.

Turning up early is fine: V welcome. The club is manned all day every day.

So who, other than those that have done the decent thing and worked out how to post their names in the national page, is coming?

We are in Monkey Magic - although possibly not going to make the first race - nothing new there for me.

With my morning coffee I've been transferring anyone who posts they are comming in this list to the Wiki.
Not sure on total numbers, rumour was that over 20 had pre-entered over a month ago.

[Graham Bridle]

Add us to the list with Scumbag, be there Tuesday evening, please dont drink all the beer before then !

[Tim Noyce]

Sorry Graham, I really can't promise anything! 

[dave_ching]

We are putting shiny back together again and willbe there and we have already entered

[dave_ching]

We are all going on our summer holiday....
Leaving now see you there.

[neal_gibson]

alas no blonde action for the nationals as no crew and sails are kinda still in panel format.

"One cherub boom Debi does ass damage" thought for a moment I had logged into my other favorite website .See you on Tuesday

[peter_barton]

Having had several aborted attempts to get out to practice recently due to the recent gales we finally got out on Fri eve.....and whilst checking the range of my kicker snapped the boom...BOOM!   DOH!

I have arranged the borrow of a RS700 boom which I think has same goosneck (TBC today), all be it over long.

Can anyone recommend a source for the carbon tube for replacement? or anyone got a spare section to sell? Is it just a matter of calling Superpars/Seldon? I have all the fittings so if I get the tube fitting it out should be within even my capabilities, maybe!  My old one was 2480mm long by 78mm external diameter.

I am at Pembrokeshire Tue pm - hopefully
Cheers

I can recommend "Aardspars". A very good price and a very nice product. Contact 'Terry Cooke' ( ex Gill )  through Aardvark Technologies, or [email protected]

[phil_kirk]

If you can't get a tube in time I'm sure between us we can make a section that will work.
A 70mm plastic down pipe will make a good mandrel as long as we don't heat it too much.

I've had a last minute crew change but new crew sailed with me at Thornbury regatta.  He comes with a transit van so we have free accom.  The van is nearly the same colour as the boat.  We did a long distance race from thornbury to Sharpness.  2 hours in total covering about 18 miles.  a least a third of that was helped by the tide.  We had a great 1 mile long, 2 sail leg near the finish with both of us on the wire and the boat was leaping off the waves. ( In 10 knots of true wind). Humph I hope it's not too balistic at Pembrokeshire.  See you Tuesday!

Hi Pete

Alan Sign has just the thing -  a brand new, unused Selden boom with gooseneck and kicker fixings - came from a 13 ft skiff in Aus.

It's at Stokes. I'll locate it this morning. Pls call me if of interest.

Thanks all,
I am sorted for the Nationals with a borrowed RS700 boom which will do the job nicely, all be it over long. (I now just have to also fix everything else from yesterdays sail, including stopping at a sailmaker tomorrow!)

I have all the fittings so planned to call Superpars to get a bare tube that I might try to collect on my way up tomorrow (I will take the broken one also ) . I will also take the broken one to contemplate repair.

Kevin- is Alans available for sale?
