Please note entries and payment must be in by 17th October 2010 so we can allocate dinghy park spaces.

A big thank you to all those who helped with the rescue of Rupert and I and for helping with searching and finding the boat.
we are very lucky to have such a dedicated team of friends.
the boat is ok, all be it a bit muddy, i’m sure the pair of us will dine out on the story many times over.

many thanks to all those who helped lift in go so smoothly especially Paul Spratt for directing, Ryan Peacher & Dan Henderson who were excellent lollipop men, (job for life there boys) Steve Hopper for weighing the 3 very underweight sandhoppers, (Rupert Chris and Nick are looking for 3 tonne of lead if anyone has some?) Jason & Roger whose skill and speed is second to none ensuring our boats are delivered to their moorings. the Stig for showing all how to drive those fabulous machines, and finally to lisa farrall for organising the lovely dinner which was enjoyed by 80 smiling faces. We were all very pleased to see 18 of our friends from MBSC who helped make the evening such a success.
we all must of been so excited (hungover) to be racing on sunday that we were all disqualified for missing the general recall, happy days, more of the same this easter weekend.

Finally we get round to Sandhopper Lift in this Saturday 27th March, its been a long cold and very wet winter where the Sandhopper owners have taken every window in the weather to make their boats racing ready for the new season, they all look in absolutely tip top condition which is fantastic for the class and our club. The Sandhoppers are the largest One Design Keel Boat Class on the Thames Estuary and there are only a handful of locations round the country where they can boast any one design fleet above 30.
This is a great turning point in the year for me with the boats out on their moorings means summer is not far away.
If you haven’t seen our friendly Local Farmers Roger and Jason Burroughs in action with their fantastic machinery then be at the club from 2pm onwards on saturday to see machine masters at work. 2hrs later and 35 boats will be on their moorings….ready for racing on sunday morning, lovely.
