Measuring from 9.20 this morning… the team must be exhausted. And more tomorrow And from the bank all looks great, grab a space to come and view a great event,

What is your best glue recommendation for putting a bow bumper back onto a glass IOM?

If you want to give your views off forum… drop me an email stephenbrown.47@btinternet.com

Ah ha.. a contentious topic bit like the E car debate ….. But will battle on. At HRYC, as bosun, we have 2 E motors that anyone can use and jump into the recovery inflatable with external battery, and a small Honda petrol with kill cord and the lake we are based on, requires RYA Powerboat 2 for this engine. Question We would love to hear your views on which E engine your club uses, or has used and works well so when we come to replace we have some valid opinions from other clubs. Clearly the replacement must be… 1 affordable 2 practical for a large open lake (but when windy petrol used) 3 that other clubs are using and is recommended your views and replies very welcome…. Either personal or from a club. Yours Stephen Bosun Brown.

Agree, really good and much better than printing,bright and easy to read on screen, One error, east page please read “Young Hayden”, and not his Dad Ben, who I am sure would like to be called young, well done Hayden!! And keep racing in 2026!

How far South?? Come down into Huntingdonshire for beginner / improver welcoming clubs

Finger!! or you can use a dibber pen, and score. Fast if not faster than writing down numbers. If you have not tried one then try it it changes your scoring processes completely Stephen

Watch my dinner at bingo !!, faster than a pen and paper. try on and see…. Stephen

ALL ages in our club can run a finish, which is what you want, the older ones are better as they play more Bingo. DAB the number as. You hear it called out. We would never go back to excel spreadsheet!

Works so well, the majority of club members, if not all can run and record finishes accurately….and takes the pressure off everyone else. You can see half time scores and up your game! https://oukitel.uk/products/oukitel-rt3-tablet On pre order but it is rugged and safe from drops and water.

Andy Start at Hunt RYC will reply, but I got the impression it was about £100 so not at all unaffordable to a club, and it transforms the way to record and display results!

Thank goodness for A fleet, face with paper today, and it was such a shock to go to a paper system The use of A fleet has utterly transformed the weekly task of scores, tables and points. If you have not tried it then get somewhere that uses it, teaching others to use it as race officer is easy, and it is not harder than when a number is shouted out, dibbing it on the tablet as in bingo. If someone gets something wrong , it can easily be sorted. For the cost of a waterproof shockproof tablet!

Thank you…..Ethical sailor…. Don’t buy from Amazon, was trying to find a retailer direct. Have one link…. But not the 80lb https://leadertec.com/product/malin-single-strand-stainless-steel-leader-wire/ Uk firm,

Malin wire, as per above. Does anyone have a Uk supplier to recommend …. Can’t find any in UK all appear to be in the US. have run out out of 80lb have been offered some, which is great, but… Has anyone used any product from this company ..and wants to report back?

Team racing between clubs tried last year in the east, and hope it is on the programme again, worked well! And the championship idea…. Superb!
