I'll be there. Last time I sailed at South Cerney I was in a Cadet myself so it should be interesting being back on old stamping ground.

Matt - you may see some of the old cadets there still - they will be out training. FYI - the entrance has moved since you were last there and a new club house too.

Having just acquired Paradise Pudding I'm planning to come and have a spin. I'll be coming up from spinnaker and am looking forward to it.

Thanks to all those that turned up with boats and a few without that are in the process of getting or just acquired a 12.

Write up will be done shortly.

FYI - Tigress won and beat the DBs

Photos are great to eat your lunchtime sandwiches to - there's a lovely sequence of a 4 boat wide mark rounding - any gunwhale scrapes from that one?

looks like it was a great day - wish I could have been there. My only consolation is Alex's football season is now over so less time will now be spent ferrying boys around S & SE London and more time sailing!

Event report on Y&Y site.

Close racing, one lot of turns done at least but no scrapes at the marks (that I'm aware of).

James said he was coming - was one of my 'no shows'

Hope the pics make them all feel guilty :B

Tigress won - so maybe thats the boat for BW eh Jim?

Thanks Kean and all at South Cerney for a superb day's sailing. Great to have somebody taking photos too (printing one off for Adam now)

I'm really sorry but I got the dates mixed up and was therefore unable to come.

Thamks Kean & your clubmates - we had a great day. Some excellent photos too, we'll be back for more next year!

Hi Kean!

Please pass on to everyone at SCSC our thanks for organising an excellent open meeting; good weather, a bit of a breeze, great organisation and a great day's sailing (even if we did sail like a pair of muppets (excuse was that Shirley was seriously overhung from her works leaving "do" the night before ??)) and let Mr Kitching beat us in his vintage yot). Shame more didn't turn up!

And watch out you northern vintage sailors, Mr K has "carbonised" his boat and is going very fast!

We look forward to seeing y'all at TVSC on 12/13 May!
