I posted this on the NWNW thread about Microclipper "wot I hav just bought" but no one has responded either way.

Would any of you North West Norfolk folks object to me trying out an experimental main that week - it's one that Kevan Bloor rustled up a few years ago? It measures but it is fully battoned.

1. NWNW don't mind if you guys don't.
2. I don't have a decent sail for the boat, and I would like to finish on the same day as the rest of you
3. And I'm not going to win whatever sails I use - it's just for fun and interest


I await with interest! 8)

Paul, I expect the reason knowbody replyed was because they dont mind. Anway if its windy it will be good to see you swimming !!!

Not quite! My first China Doll N2524 was called "Ethelred" and rapidly nicknamed "the unsteady", my Athermath 2 N2808 (being painted a certain colour) was refered to as the "Yellow Submarine" and so "they" finally settled on the "Kapsize King" for me.

Saying that, probably have the same problem at BW. Still, that's all part of the fun (and everyone else's!)

Cheers!
