Posted: January 10th, 2016, 7:17 pmJust to say Hi.
Just joined the club and looking forward to some racing and social sailing. Another Dart 15 owner, with an old ex-Shanklin Club boat (1770). I've been a member of Marconi for past years and a Dart sailor on and off for 20 years ..... Hope to get to grips with it soon
The only other boat I've had was an RS600 which I was too old for ! Those boats are for young bendy folk...
I'm guessing I'll be needing a big wheel launch trolley and looking for some advice as to where & what to buy ? I have a standard trolley, which was fine for Marconi's concrete slip but not a lot of good for sand.
20 years ago I was a keen competitor doing the nationals and travelling series for a few years. Now I just love to get out and give it a blast. Although I'll only be on The Island 50% of the time, I plan to be on the water as much as possible.
I look forward to meeting you all soon.
Andy
