Thanks to Dartmoor!

[Derek Priestley]

Just a quick thankyou to all at the Dartmoor MBC who hosted us at the 6m Nationals.

 

Whilst the TP52  (with Dave Hollom designed modified keel)  was pounding the waves around the IOW,   our 6m's were getting flattened on Dartmoor!!    BUT we were made very welcome by all the sailing members of the Dartmoor Mode Boat Club, who have acheived great things at their "pond on the hill". 

They are to be congratulated for their enterprize and hard work in jetty building, clubhouse, toilets, raised sailing platform, and of course thanks to the ladies for the hot drinks, cream tea on sat and bacon rolls on Sunday morning, all done on a primus stove!!!

This was my 3rd visit to Dartmoor, each one as enjoyable as the one before.  If you get a chance to go and race there I wholehartedly reccomend you go.

 

Thanks again Kieth and all your members.

Agreed, Dartmoor put on a very nice event!

[Vinnie Zammit]

They certainly do put on a good event, only problem is that the ground keeps jumping up and tripping me over, (well that is my excuse).

Latest is, that a week ago the surgeons decided that they wanted to do another replacement. Needless to say i cannot repeat  my answer to their idea. But it was good. Especially as it has been 2 1/2 years since the last operation.

Anyway, life goes on and can i wish all the best to Dartmoor SC.
