Hi Dave
I ve been chairman of the sailing committee at Queen Mary, so I appreciate the difficulties, and we don t have tides!. I am under a cerrtain amount of pressure to help in a house refitting programme this year in the alps, and am merely trying not to be tied down. It looks as though the Nationals and Straights Regatta are the only outings Microchip is likely to get, although your club regatta is a possibility if I can address how to leave her on a drying mooring. There is very little freeboard between the water and the top of the centre box for the bolt down keel..
From the discussion pages on this matter there do seem to be two or three others interested, but they too seem time constrained.
Regards
Peter H

Hullo,
I'm the sailing secretary at the Stour SC.
We will be finalising our sailing programme for the coming season, within the next week or so, and the dates for club's annual Micro Class event will be sorted out as well. This would normally be over a weekend in September, based on the local water, although there is proposal from one of the Micro owners to stage a more ambitious event downriver where the there wouldn't be such a constraint from the tides, and to also stage the event during the summer months.
Obviously we have to discuss everything and decide what to this year. As soon as the details have been sorted, I'll write to the group.
Regards,
Dave Waters
