Hi

Does anyone know of a website giving details of the 8 Metre racing next week on the Clyde. Saw some of the boats on Sunday new and old ones and they looked fab.

Just come back from Rhu marina tonight.

Websites have already been posted.

Some of the oldies look just fantastic, One was out racing with us on the East Patch tonight. Points like a witch.

We will be going to the marina tomorrow for a wee viewing session...

Hi

On Sunday spoke to the Team Manager? of one of the old ones. The owner has financed for his son and other youngster to come from Austria/Germany to sail as a youth team. The boat was over 90yrs and he has spend approx 300,000 euros on a restore.

PS did anyone see Drum out on Sunday looks as though she blew her genoa on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Presume that that is not cheap to replace

Drum went out on Sunday morning with many aboard. It was rather windy on Saturday afternoon, calmed a lot in the evening though, but can't say I noticed the genoa.
