Looks like it's going to be another cracking weekend for flying . Lets hope the BBC website has got it right.


Is anybody going to be flying in the Heathrow / Staines/ Slough area this weekend??? and I don't mean in one of them silver cigar tubes that I'm coming home in tonight :lol:

It's gonna be a cold one, but less windy and a degree more to the west, so I guess a long drive is on the cards.

They recon its going to be the coldest night of the year so far

My local Forecast for the weekend. Rubbish for sailing on sunday though. Still the best forecast is to look out the window on the morning.

Cheers for the multimap Ade will definetly go for a look see.

Do you sail at Datchet? or you into more bigger boats.

[phil485]

Datchet should be my home club, too expensive. Sail on thecircuit so never there anyway.

Tornado and Hurricane 5.9's are my thing

[thomashome]

Luck sod, I had a Stealth, sold it and got a big boat so that the Mrs could sail, she hated cats.

Hi

My last racing dinghy was a 505.

Great fun!!

Previous to that an Enterprise which I towed on the local circuit. That was also great fun.

Then had two kids and the fun stopped.

(Only joking)

Cheers

whimper... i remember darts, hobbie cats and 505s screaming past me sailing the mirror when I was a kid.

its been so long since I have been on the water, wonder if I can still remember how to do it. do you think my wetsuit still fits!!....

Ade

[marktigere1]

Don't know about your wetsuit Ade, but mine seems to shrink year on year :cry:

Especially around the crotch and midrif 8O

I suppose it's because I've washed it too much. Yes...that's it

Cheers

Mark

[thomashome]

I kept all my wet suits, harnesses and bouyancy aids just in case, looks like time to eBay them to help fund my new habit.

[phil485]

Well Ade was right. Too windy for me to fly yesterday, but it meant a cracking sail today.
No mirrors to scare though I did give a flying fifteen a hard time. Are you supposed to fly a hull over their transom 8O ops:

[thomashome]

Not sure you'll be too popular with the Flying 15's, they hated me. I remember flying a hull over my brothers laser 4000, sort of playing chicken, we could never understand why we were so unpopular on the lake.

The two offending craft...
