HotTub Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 Purchased at Stollery 'UP' going to be fettled ready for taking on Datchet Reservoir hopefully both of us will be ready for the challenges it will give us. Anyone who can help guide me help appreciated.
RobVice_GBR41 Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I’m sure that Roger Stollery (Up designer) would be very keen to assist you with any details you may desire. Im a fellow Up owner and I’d be happy to give my opinion.. Please feel free to send me a DM. Rob

But hopefully at some point I will get over to sail with him. Add another new venue to my list.
RobVice_GBR41 Posted February 1, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 I’ll be at Guildford on Saturday and Datchet on Sunday if you fancy a day out !?!
HotTub Posted April 22, 2024 Author Posted April 22, 2024 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

I’d be very conscious of the designers sail plan. Speaking as someone who has spent years getting this wrong before finally getting it nearly right.
HotTub Posted May 23, 2024 Author Posted May 23, 2024 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
RoRo Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 I did exactly that in 2022. It was great feeling the buzz and seeing the boats close up. Its going to be a fun weekend see you there
Derek Priestley Posted May 24, 2024 Posted May 24, 2024 Really looking forward to the 50th anniversary of our weekend at Elstead Moat back in September 1974!! Back then I was sailing a 23lb Dick Priest "Bewitched" vane M, with a large square hole cut in the deck with a sail winch of a screwed rod with a traveller and micro switches to limit the number of turns that the drum rotated! Very hit & miss. Finished 12th out of 26. This year I have very kindly been lent a Grunge, by my good friend JC. Can I make single figures?? Watch this space!
