Just under a week to go until the FOSSC open.
The latest weather forecast I have seen suggests some lovely sailing weather. It looks like a good turn out is likely and its not too late to come and join us.
Look forward to seeing you there.

Hi Chris,
Looking forward to FOSSC Open. Will it be possible to get into the club to drop off a boat on Friday just after lunch (depending on Good Friday traffic)? Sam and I are planning to go direct to the lake, if it is possible, to set up the boat for Sat. and then off to Newboys for a curry! Cheers,
Richard K.

Sorry to say we will not be there. Combination of weather over the last week and various trips to and from Sark making it all too much stress. The weather and wind look like they will be kind, so enjoy the tropics :>)

Verily some Class Stalwarts will be donning an extra layer to compete this coming Saturday at Frampton-on-Severn,s British Moth Season Opener... Richard Keefe...new Sail,new Burgee,new whatever... Mark "New Boy" Wiltshire...new 2013 ensemble Roger Witts...same stuff Re-appearance of Wild Bill Gribble...specially dug up and re-started for the event. Andrew Perrott now sponsored by Pampers so I hear. Not sure about La Pappa or Big Hearted Pedro Lee. ....plus the entire Frampton ensemble of aspiring Pot Hunters,Luffers extrordinaire and Down and Outs especially let out for the day. New Frampton 2013 motto "No Luff Too Tuff " In case you have not noticed its the Easter Weekend so the roads will be clear as the entire planet will either be in Tesco,s or Ikea or watching a re-run of The Great Escape,so why not pop in . Better still drag the Boat over. Chillllli for Lunch I gather and a veggie option Frampton style,[Crisps and a Mars Bar] See you at the Races

Really looking forward to Saturday. Been a while since I've sailed a single-hander and not sure I can remember how one manages all those bits of string without a crew to yell at and blame when it all goes wrong, but guess as long as I do my best to keep the pointy bit pointing at the sky, and try not to sail the wrong way around the windward mark. Again I was supposed to be on safety boat duty, but as I have a boy now old enough to delegate to, and have managed to beg a spare Moth off Team Latham, I get to sail with you all again!

Bill dont worry you can follow me round for the 1st lap and I will shout back tips on which bits of string to pull. Not sure you should trust me though. Be good to see you again even if it will be from a distance as I sail away from you. So who else is going to come out to play. Its really not that cold now. Winds look great for an easy start to the year. New Boy
