Good to see Dave back on the water!

Great pics from Justin and Kermit.  Hardest job was to pick what not to use! Great job guys!

[Admiral]

Few too many champers there old girl!!

Protest acknowledged and overruled. A quick whip around the chaps confirmed that in fact you got what you deserved in more ways than one. Apparently no one saw a thing. 😉

Thanks Mike the vid and additional pics look really great. 👍

[Admiral]

Thanks for coming Pete

[Admiral]

Deafening silence here in the comments section??

[Admiral]

Thanks Stuart.

Hmmm isn’t your boat called ‘The Duck Hunter’? Doesn’t sound very cuddly to me!

This is what the new design vang for the 95 looks like.

I just checked back on old posts where I had seen a revision Ricky and they were discussing DF95 gooseneck upgrades not 65 ones 😕

I think I covered your dilemma in the writeup Kermit. Phil is far too much the gentleman to tell you you f*#ked up!!

First boom I’ve seen broken in that place. I broke one once where the sheet turns through a plastic ring heading down to the hawse
I note that there has been a design revision on the boom vang by Joysway because others have experienced the exact same thing as you. The new design is thicker and stronger than the old one.

Yes Pete, da Duck proved yet again it is it’s own ecosystem. It was wild in Lutana too but by the time I got to da Duck it was completely different. I think we have to factor this in to any prediction of what sailing will be Like @ da Duck whilst looking out your window.

Thanks for that timely advice oh webbed one!
Difference between flying and sailing (yes, there are lots), in particular with regards scheduling applies to three main points.
The first is that sailing on Tuesdays is a fixed event, not dependant of fickle things like weather.
Secondly, the class being sailed always rotates back and forth between 65 & 95 so calendar or no calendar this remains constant.
The third consideration in not advertising last Tuesdays sailing is that without RBRYC sailing at the moment there was a likelihood we may have exceeded our legal limit in skipper numbers with those who are desperate to sail from there turning up.
This last point was spectacularly successful as without advertising or calendar we still ended up with three.
Being the observant froggie that you are you would have noted that next months Tuesdays are all written up as sailing days. Well done!
Next month will also see the lifting of the 10 person + 1 frog rule so advertising our activities is back on the task list again.
I will still circulate a text message to all members once this final hurdle is cleared as this is a good way to keep in touch.
Finally I think the calendar is a great and integral part of our website that alongside the Forum is the beating heart of our little group and needs to be supported at every opportunity. Its success is dependent on how often and well it is used by our members.
Oh and next Tuesday is DF65s @ da Duck.
Cheers
