Chipstead Try a 12 day

[BobMurrell]

As we are now down to only 2 active boats at Chipstead I've organised a Try-a-12 day at the club on Saturday 5th April. I know this clashes with the Gill event at Bristol but I'm aiming to encourage members at Chipstead to have a go in a 12. I'll be letting people have a go in my Foolish and hopefully there'll also be a Chapter to try. If anyone who's not going to Bristol would like to come along you'd be very welcome to bring your boat; I'm aiming to start about 11 o'clock. Directions to the club can be found on this link to the website http://www.chipsteadsc.org.uk/csc/map.htm. Let me know if you are coming.

Hi all
Just a reminder that there will be an opportunity to try a Twelve at Chipstead SC this Saturday, 5th April. I plan to start about 11ish. This day is mostly aimed at Chipstead sailors but if anyone isn't going to Bristol and wants to come along you'll be welcome. There will be my Foolish and Richard Ball's Chapter (both double bottomed) and also Giles Edmond-Preedy's fully varnished Grebe (single bottomed) plus my Proctor Mk6 to look at / try depending on the weather! Forecast is better than earlier in the week so hopefully we'll get some sunshine! :B
Directions are on the club website - see previous entry.
If you are intending to come could you respond here and then I'll know to look out for you.

Giles and I had a good day with 5 expressions of interest: 3 trial sails and 2 to come later in the season. Noel and Kate drove up from Brighton and spent the morning planing around in my Foolish and Giles' Grebe! 2 club members also had goes: Ian and Tally (RS200) and Stuart (Firelfly) took the boats out. All made appreciative noises so we'll have to keep on at them to take the plunge.
I'll let you know how things pan out.
