Hi Guys,

We now have 7 possibly 8 that race every weekend, but fairly informally. They
are all Gems and Micro 18's which seem pretty evenly matched. I nearly bought a
Morrison, but in the end opted for a Gem purely to stay pretty comparable
performance-wise - I understood the later Morrison boats were quicker. That
decision effectively means I am last every time, but I am still setting the boat
up, learning, and sailing with partner and 13yr old daughter, so to be
expected!!

We also keep the boats afloat (tidal/mud) so a little more strength was
perceived as 'good'.

MAybe we should tyry to organise something next year?

Regards,

Tim
