FK30SA is open for members

[fireball]

This is a club for Fin Keelers for 30 LOA only ...
Must be based in Chichester, have a keel depth between 5'11" and 6' (depending on how full the water tank is!), dark blue AF and must have a crew of 4.
Anyone care to join?

Not for me.... don't like dark blue antifoul.....

 

[David_Jersey]

Yes, I would love to join.

In anticpation I have already sold my house and given up my job to move to Chichester and also have bought a new Boat (Isn't the Internet great!)...............but then I realised that I have no freinds. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

8ugger!

Last year the girl in the chandlery put an emergency can of A/F out for me. It was light blue not dark.

My rudder is dark blue A/F, as will the rest when I've scrubbed off again. Can I join?

Re: 8ugger!

Once you've scrubbed off...
Are you based in Chichester?

Im only 25ft but if I dangle a crew member form bow /stern im definately 30ft, does wing keel count, if not will cut wing off at weekend. PS already in chichester, if I leave the harbour for the weekend is my membership withdrawn for that weekend?

 

[fireball]

Well - if you use a crew member to increase to 30' then they are discounted from your crew member list (as they are now part of the boat) so you'll have to pressgang someone else ... Do you draw between 5'11 and 6' ??

 

[wiggy]

Draft is not a problem, normally its 3ft but by simply cramming the boat with beer it will, im sure, increase to 5'11'' or with enough load any draft you desire.

 

[fireball]

As long as you have enough room for your 4 crew (and bowsprit boy) as well as the beers .. I assume your hull is dark blue?

 

[Danny]

Draft beer, presumably?

 

[gandy]

Would I be allowed to join if my boat met all your requirements, but sailed faster than yours?

 

[wiggy]

Sorry forgot to mention hull colour, if I send Dulux colour chart can you tick correct shade and I'll nip down to Homebase at the weekend (gosh keel to cut down and repaint, hope membership is worth it)

 

[fireball]

No, but then your a little north of Chichester! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Get a couple of hinges whilst your at it - then you can fold down your wings to comply with membership! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
