January the 28th is the date for the Steve Nicholson Race. Pitsford is as central as it gets and great water for a Twelve. We have occasionally had some wind at this event too. Lets get a good fleet of Twelves out. Give Tom a ring for details.
Not to mention all proceeds to a good cause...
I will be there, but in my silly spare boat!

N3XXX work in progress
Having spent the weekend making one working boat out of the bits of three in my garage, we'll be there. 11.00 start according to the NSC web-site.

As will Katy and Jon Brown provided it is not too cold. Rumours also suggest Ibbotson should be there as well as Dave & Jane Wade. I am on childcare duty but will be watching as closely as possible.
Forecast looks reasonnable, not as much wind as I would like but most others would probably say it's ideal!
Kevin
Assume Kevin that there was in fact enough wind for you! Everyone else you missed a REALLY great days sailing. Yes it was a little chilly but it had everything you could ask for. My first sail back after a 14 month sabbatical and the fairly swift swim has not dampened my enthusiasm!

N3468 'On Loan'
You're right Jane, force 3-4 in the first race and more in 2nd. This combined with the usual excellent organisation made it a good choice for my first time in a boat for 6 months.
Before anyone asks, the picture of Liz and I on the fotoboat baot web-site (also used on the Y&Y report) was taken as we were about to gybe, hence the unusual crew positions. Just as welll they didn't wait until afterwards because we went in a couple of times at that mark! However, please note the Merlins under spinnaker BEHIND us.
Well done to Tom for being first non-trapeze boat (in his Merlin) at 7th overall.
