M5 is better - moe miles but miles faster!!!  From the M32 junction I'd say it was more like 50 - 60 mins to BCYC its much further than you think plus a small cross country bit at the bottom.

tried to paste in the weather map but didn't work :-/ Bristol tends to be wet n'windy - but its a nice place 2 sail.
Will be in Gavs Baggy Sunday  as mine ain't ready

Forecast for Saturday is 5 celcius max and a Force 5 NW - typical BCYC weather then - based on last couple of years!!!  Will have to wait and see............

Looks like perfect 12 weather  force 4-5 and wet :-/ ?? - will have to make final decision but would be nice to get back yachting again - bathroom is nearly finished!!
Anyone want a qty of Karndean vinyl floor tiles - white marble - look very nice laid out.

Sailed at Corus sailing club, Feb 2008 (according to results) by D.Downs.

Tim,
Yes - still at SCSC but not done any sailing for a while....
Rupert Whelan is the guys name - rupert.whelan"at"btinternet.com is his email - can't find a number as I usually see him at the school playground!!  Will get it sorted must be 77xxxx.
 

Won't have a boat for training as I still need to do a bit of bimbling in mine - ready for Bristol.
Whats the plan for the try a boat out - can I turn up without a crew and have a go?  Will be dependent on weather but hope to be there late morning ish.
 

There was a Street Legal 'sold' - I think almost given away a few months ago - not sure what number - I think Marcus ? was trying to fnd a quick home or take it to the dump   
 

Tim,
 
There's a local boat repairer in our village (west of swindon) - doesn't advertise but does work for others such as Lynall boats.  Mainly does up older wood boats and very reasonable if its not an insurance job.
Hope you get it fixed up soon.

Wait a couple of weeks - always tends to be windy at Bristol  should be some swimming done then.

looks like if you book the right accomodation at Teignmouth you just open the front door and step into the boat  
Pretty dramatic pics on the BBC last night - hope all is well down there for everyone

N3143 is already quick when Matt was sailing her!
Tim - hope you're not planning on cutting up the new mast in the same way as the photos here show

Should the breaks for the series like vintage, 4 plank, AC use the breaks as defined by the PY suggested handicaps?  That way all boats deemed to have the 'same' handicap could race together.
There may be the odd bandit in amongst them but would seem a logical way to link both together...
