Thorpe Bay Yacht Club

If you ever wonder why the cruising section enjoy their sport so much, see a short video I took in September about 2 hours east of the River Dart, en route to Portland Bill.

Enjoy the film, Camera work by Glen.

Hi All cat sailors and interested parties, I’ve posted some Hurricane videos and Nicks F20 shot by Glen on youtube, have a look.

Hi all, yet another frustrating day in the dingy park waiting for the wind to drop still 30 – 40knt gusts!!!!

Only to have the second day cancelled again.

All I can say is that the race officers had it right. As some of the good guys decided to take the bladeridder FX demo boat out for a sail this lasted approx 3 mins before the boat spectacularly folded up!!!

Moths obviously don’t sail in 30knts!!!

Hoping for some racing tommorrow

keep you updated Steve
