Where can I find a schedule of events,  like what night is the band playing and when are the oldies racing?

Thanks for that. Looks like we have a couple of guests, never been on a boat before but both professional musicians  so I'm trying to find stuff that will be of interest.

There are likely to be a few professional musicians on other boats too, we enjoyed their music wafting over the water last year and at tall ships this year.

Gee KM, we know its taking a while to finish off the reptile, but surely you'd want to put the keel on it before trying to race it again?

SR's been finished and fully operational for going on 2 years now. I do still need to finish the boom.

I was talking about all the classics that are centreboards, some of which are rather large boats.

Yes big heavy slow 22' boats why those chaps with the interesting hair dos cant see the benefit of the lovely piedies I will never understand

Last 22' head to head they crossed the line L, PP, L, PP, L, PP.

Twas fun and we need to do it again as I was telling an ex L and newish PP owner only last evening.
