100 years of the BIG Yachting Monthly Cup.. After Bill Daniels won the original YM cup outright, the magazine very kindly presented a second one in 1926 (100 years ago) We're hoping to celebrate this important anniversary at Fleetwood on the Wednesday of vane A week (25th to 31st Juy). So please come & help us with this important celebration in the history of the A class, the foundation of all International Model Yacht racing. At least 5 radiosailing World Champions will be taking part. Charter boats may be available.

That brings back memories!! Good luck with the "pimping project" See you at Datchet D

Bring it next week. It well worth a look. D

Great article publicising our sport by Mark Jardine in Yachts & Yachting this morning.

That would be a great boat for someone to take part in this years 50th anniversary RM National at Fleetwood.

Update. Without switching on the TX, I wiggled and woggled the JOG button and it stopped sticking! So, I switched on and I was able to scroll through the functions and get to the "Link" section I pressed on that & the beeps came on. I pluged in the RX and a green light came on!! Fantastic! I plugged the Rx into my boat and all working!! Many thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've tried it again this morning and it still works. D

Anyone know how to fix a sticking "JOG" button (thats the one on the bottom right which scrolls through the menu) on a T 6 K transmitter?? Thanks in advance Derek P.

Slightly off topic but connected, is why are measurers paid?? Most people in our sport kindly give their time and sometimes pieces of equipment to help the overall good of the many. These include, People who look after clubs, chairs, secs, treas, race officers, mark layers, rescue boat operatives, grass cutters boathouse painters, the list is endless and we haven't even mentioned MYA personel! So, if all these people are giving up their time to help............why should measurers be paid??

Hi Daniel, I have a nice varnished wooden planked Alternative complete. I've PM'd you about it.

you can also make your own by rolling sheet lead

Nice one John, we're all looking forward to seeing you in March.

It's all about how you treat the boats. Treat them with respect and they will give you long & good service " I do see fearful looks from others when someone lobs a df into the lake from a metre away," if you do this or similar yes they do crack. I'm still racing the 95 i got in 2014.
