Any results yet?

The Albacore Northern Area Champs hosted by Ogston SC was a fantastic success with 15 boats turning up for 2 great days of racing. I'm not sure about the full set of results, but here is the top 4.



1st Judy & Paul Armstrong

2nd Crawford Reid & Isabella Martin

3rd Mike Banner & Kay Woods

4th Phil Smith & Robbie Blackburn



Thanks to all for organising a great event and hopefully a full report and results will appear soon.

Hi made the trip to ogston to view and possibly purchase a Fosrite Albacore. Did the deal on Friday night and I think all happy. The boat in question is as far as I can tell, a 1974 yellow compisite fosrite with a sail number circa 64?? I think that Richard Watkinson may have re-decked this boat when it was being sailed at Covenham some years back. The re-deck has been done particularly well. The inside has been painted, on the floor (grey) and the side bouancey tanks have two inspection covers each plus drain bungs at the back front tank is half hight. Can anyone shed any light on the number?



The Northerns were indeed a well run event, crewed for Tony in what a ppears to be the first (possibly prototype) Woof. As you can see we were not in the top 4, or indeed top 5! I think if there was 15 boats we will be aprox 13th but we will have to wait and see. Did I enjoy myself..... yes I did. I also have 3 more boats commiting to next years 2009 Internationals. Have you posted your intention yet? Remember it is an intention not a booking.



Derek Gibbon 7176, 6852, and others!!!

PS Looks like I owe Tony an apology we were 11th!

Prize yes, also thanks for confirming I was 13th with Tony, or is this still based on my comment above?
