Sailing

Just wondering if and when people will start sailing at the beach this year. I am hoping to get my boat down today. Would be able to sail in the morning if anyone else does (19th Apr). supposed to be Henry Ward this weekend.

Any body up for a sail Next Week-end

i might be persuaded to sail if theres a turn-out, as I feel enthused after the open!!! Saturday evening 17.45hrs start time, light winds forcast!, Robert and Mark should be able to make it after the Wedding don`t you think!!!

Dart GP5

The open is upon us! Organisation seems to be coming together quite nicely!

Mark Fletcher is sorting a BBQ (simple Burger or a dog!) for friday night. Brian H. and Beverley are doing Breakfast saturday morning. Ann Witmore (10 till 1 ish!)then Ann Fletcher (After sailing till 4 ish!) doing rolls etc. Dee is sorting the evening meal with help from Anne Barlow and others. Roy is doing Sunday Breakfast, need to sort help for him and need to sort Sunday during and after sailing. Food is being sourced by Dee and Anne, the Fletchers, Beverley and Me! Steve is sorting the race organisation, Colin is sorting the Sailing Instructions and Entry forms! ( Can you do the results aswell Col` Ta!)…………….and we have a Band!!!!…….just need some nice weather and everything should be perfect :))…..Oh and I intend to take part now! but haven`t got a crew yet!….any takers?

June 16th-17th: Sat 18:30 - Sun 7:45

I’m intending to sail both days but the forecast is looking grey. What’s the situation on houses, backs and “lets be having you” Delia this weekend?

June 2nd-3rd: Sat 18:30 - Sun 7:30

Sailing? I intend to sail both.

This week-end

I`ll be about most of the week-end and will attend discussions about the Dart open, Roberts place sounds like the best bet to me!, unfortunatly I`m unlikly to sail as my back has collapsed again!!!

BBQ this week-end?, weather permitting, why not!

The Dart Open

To who sail dart @ Snetbeach!

The Dart Open is upon us 7th/8th July, about 6 weeks time!!! I am asuming that so far, nothing has been organised! I can`t think of any individual who would be willing to take on the role of organiser, but it needs to be done!. I cannot but my hand up as I will be heavily involved in the commisioning and start-up of a new plant at my works, and I will not have a minute (can`t even attend the open!)

I propose that everybody involved with Dart sailing at the beach do a little bit to help make it happen!!!………………..I think thats the best way probably for this year!

Areas needing attention are:-

Race Organisation & Rescue boat cover, Sailing Instructions, Prizes, Catering including the Bar, Entertainment……………..cant think of anything else at the moment!

If individuals are willing to take on a slice of the work, I think I could perhaps manage to do this bit, ie ensure we`ve got all the corners covered!…however I cannot do any of the WORK!

I`m sure that Jean Ann won`t mind if I mention that Dave will be postumously presented an award for his services and support of the Dart cause at the Nationals this week-end…….this partly why I`m writing this E-mail……..we should be doing our bit too!!!

Could you all make sure that everybody in the Fleet gets this e-mail.

Perhaps we could have a plan together for the week-end.

Thanks,

John

Do I really need a trampoline?

I’ve been told my new trampoline will arrive today but no sign of it yet. I guess this does effect sailing for us this weekend but there is also the Lionel Wilkinson open meeting so is anyone doing OOD etc or are you racing? (Did you see how I worked in the usual question, did you see it coming?)
I’m also not sure if I’ll do both days. The forecast is not great, Saturday looking less wet than Sunday so I may just do Saturday.

Decided not to sail as it’s too windy for single handed people. :(

News update - :) Go faster trampoline has arrived! did I order the right one?

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Not a phrase you want to use but on this occasion it means we can sail Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Unfortunately it’s 08:00 starts with an extra 15 minutes sleep on Monday (Kirkland cup), but this gives you the rest of the day to do something else.  I hope to do all three days but haven’t got a 100% clearance for Saturday yet so I’ll confirm this later in the week. Sun & Mon only. See you in the bar Saturday night. Col.
