Vintage 12s at Ripon

[Chadders]

Who is coming out to play at Ripon on Saturday 15th May? 
This event is a Derwent Handicap Style event so everyone has a good chance of winning, it is also the first one in our 2010 series. It would be very helpful to get some idea of support and we look set to have a good turnout with travellers threatening to come from Nottingham, Cheshire and even Scotland as well as our more local boats. If you intend to come along please do let us know, if you would like to make it a weekend we also have an open meeting for all 12s at Yorkshire Dales on Sunday 16th.  Come and join us, please indicate below if you can come or give me a call if you need further information or contact Jennie Clark if you need help finding a crew.  Howard C aka Chadders   8)N various

Vintage sailing par excellence! Thank you Ripon SC for opening your Club doors to us and providing an all-round excellent day.  As a Derwent Handicap event the end result is never known until the last results are in.  Bernard and Ellie Clark were the worthy winners, Howard and Helen were second and Brian Herring (celebrating his 75th birthday on the day) with his crew Ros were third overall - despite the celebratory glasses of bubbly and slices of heavenly but heavy chocolate cake!
