Derek Good to meet you and all the other competitors. My first National so a bit unsure what to expect but under David's guidance got to sail single handed on Sunday. Taken on board a few little pointers for next time if I get asked to run the board. As keen to take on guidance to help me improve or what others find work for them just the same situation as wanting tips for my sailing. Possibly top on the list is ear plugs if staying at Datchet 😂

Also are you powering it through the RX or direct to the winch as I believe the latter allows it to draw more power if required. Think there is a connection diagram on here search for RMG hopefully you can find it.😀 Telemetry RMG is where you'll find this.

Graham nice to see someone who has a sense of humour guessing I asked for that 🤣

Interested to know if availability & budget wasn't an issue how would you priorities latest IOM design. A bit of justifying your decision rather than just wish list 😉

OMG helping out at Marblehead Nationals under the guidance on David running the board got a day's training then over to you tomorrow. Board all setup for start. Like a Swan all calm but below the water a great deal of work goes on to make events happen. But all part of learning curve I thought be able to watch how it should be done but glad to get back to work for a rest 🤣 Nice to meet other skippers from all over the country.

Myself and my Up looking forward to the Marblehead Nationals at Datchet. I am helping with the event see how it should be done. To good an opportunity to learn from experienced skippers. Plus a weekend staying onsite destress from normal mainly work related issues. Hopefully the weather is kind to us all and everyone enjoys the event 😊

Some people have put a plastic drinking straw which I thinks takes up the play in the rudder assembly. Saves the potential of damage to hull removing the old rudder fittings. 🫢

Finally got around to fitting sails but I only have two swing rig sets of sails I think A & B1 🤔 so if anyone has any others others gathering dust pm me 👍

Tiggy_Cat Sorry I only heard one-sided of the story. Like you said transportation in a small car can be done but removal of the keel & bulb is recommended. Plus possibly wrapped in a blanket to protect it. Please accept my apologies. The fact you replaced the winch suggest you wanting to help beginners.

Hi Mark sorry to hear you have been left with a bit of a 🍋. I have found the people involved in this hobby the totally opposite to your experience. Like John says contact them see if a compromise can be achieved. What did you get? Maybe see if anyone at your local club can help with repairing it 😃

In the long term you maybe causing yourself more problems by not allowing the hull to dry out this might mean corrosion on electrical connections. Get a plastic cover then use insulation tape to secure. The failure of winch or rudder could mean premature end to a day's sailing. If terminal with added cost.

You have an On Off switch 95's not very power hungry so why modify? Like you state none standard so I would think outside the rules 🧐

Good to hear going the extra mile to some new blood into the sport. Datchet team hats off to you guys 👍

Maybe slightly off topic but if you register for an event shouldn't it be stated if Mk2 or Mk3 for example as Alioth has both of these 🤔

It would be interesting to know how many are on the water? The fleet seems to be growing a game changer in both waiting time and cost.
