Hi Philip. So exciting getting a load of new kit! Of these two the Go is a more beginner friendly board - soft top so you don't scrape your legs getting on, good for getting used to having no daggerboard and using the harness. The Carve is a more intermediate board and probably better for when you a...

Not that I saw on Saturday, though he could have got away with a sneaky boatyard launch without me knowing. :?: :?: :?: I was on 5m at Portland yesterday and overpowered to the point where I had to walk downwind between runs, stil...

Hi, I've only ever booked holidays where kit hire is inclusive, but as you say Harry Nass hire kit, or I know people who have hired with Club Mistral in Dahab too. And I think I heard a rumour Club Vass were hiring kit too at one point. So there should be a bit of choice if you have a surf around th...

I'm doing Portland tomorrow. Dead right Ian, it's the taking part that counts, but it looks like there may not be any other Nomads there so I will have to see if I can borrow a GPS just so I can hold the 2012 club record if only for a day! ;) Sunday might be Poole, not sure yet - so please all repor...

Yes yes YES! :D Both days I reckon. Have new thermal rash vest so should be toasty I reckon! No GPS tho so we'll never know how much I beat you by! :wink: Tides are a bit upside down at Portland but probably manageable, especially with the size fins you and Lorraine get away with. I may possibly end...

No cos I thought it wasn't very safe going on my own in case I froze!

But mid-morning I discovered a bunch of people I know were there having a whale of a time! So next time I'm in!

Actually this weekend coming is over 10 degrees at Portland too so no question!

Yes, thanks Bob and Jenny, it was a lovely evening.

So what time did you party animals go on till then? Did you finish the vodka?

Wind looks good for Saturday but I can't see us having such a good turnout somehow! :lol:

Sun 15 Jan

Nice choppy easterly forecast at Portland on Sunday looks like a fun way to clear the hangover after the xmas do?

I'm thinking to sail out of WPNSA to get a hot shower afterwards.

Anyone fancy it or got a better idea?

I just wanted to echo that. It was really inspiring to meet Zara, and interesting to learn more about speed sailing. And nice to have a winter meet up as well. Thanks Keith for arranging it.
