Nice views of North Lincolnshire. Wish I'd got over to that side as a Lincolnshire lad (Boston born and Spilsby bred). I had to make do with Dad taking me to Covenham reservoir near Louth. It was quite good for wind but the concrete sides for "miles" used to get a bit boring at times.
Cheers! Jim.

Thanks again to Hykeham and all those involved in making it a great event - made trip worth while.  Jelly bean olympics was a highlight - having fun events for crews helps them to bond abd have good fun.  Maybe we need a crews union for the youngsters witrh maybe some simple training programmes thrown in too - I know I'd benefit

Fantastic weekend and the organisation was spot on as was the company!  The work that went into organising it all must have been tremendous and it showed, if you werent 90 miles away I would think about joining.  Thanks to Hykeham and all involved I look forward to visiting again.  Steve was also a star doing all the results and suppying half the fleet with crews as well, my Sunday crew Kate was excellent.  Thank you all.  Howard C

Well done to all at Hykeham and many thanks for lending me Robin Jones. An excellent and knowledgable crew who shoulkd go far!  And Steve, a big thank you for looking after Cygnet 'til the Naburn Paddle meeting.  This has saved me so much time.  Feel free to have a sail in her!  Thanks.

What a wonderful weekend!  Thanks to everyone at Hykeham who made it so much fun, and to everyone in the 12 fleet who turned up and supported it, on the water or on the shore.   We had a very tired small crew on the way home - asleep within 10 minutes of leaving and slept all the way home, but all she's talked about since is the next time she's sailing the 12, so that's good!

We would like to add our thanks to Hykeham Sailing club for an excellent weekend (although the wind or lack of it did try my temper at times!).  Well worth the 300 mile round trip.  A very friendly and hospitable club.

Fantastic weekend.  Thanks to everyone for making us welcome with our Tigress 'Zarniwoop'.  Good weekend with my children all smiles.  Louis crewed on Sat and Nicole on Sun.  Both loved it.
Cheers and thanks

Hi all,
Thanks for a great weekend at Hykeham, a great intro to 12 events. Will join you all again for Burton week and haven't ruled out Harwich either.
Would it be really rude to ask for a correction to the write up report I think we were first AC boat (3162), Chris and Sophie picked up a prize for Bristol AC.
Cheers
Gareth

Yes My thanks to everybody involved with organising it, we had a great time well worth the 650 mile round trip, got home at 10.30 so well glad there wasn't another race on Sunday. Just a shame the biggest pudding was the nut on the tiller of Killer Custard.

Did anyone leave any of the following items in the clubhouse after the Hykeham SC open meeting last weekend:
Gill Sailing gloves - black neoprene full finger
Gill Sailing gloves - blue cut off fingers
Blue Crewsaver fleece (found in Ladies changing room)
Green sweatshirt (large)

If anyone recognises any of these as belonging to them let me know and I will try to get them back to you.

When I opened my bag this weekend I found a very well used Gill spray top size medium colour blue and cream.  This can only have come from Hykeham so apologies to anyone who has lost it!!  Let me know who you are and I will post it back to you.
