TOPIC:

The annual Hamble River SC Warming Pan will be held on the 16th and 17th March this year at Hamble River. The Albacore fleet is invited to join the Merlin Rockets, National 12s, Enterprise, Firefly and Foxer Class dinghies in this early season river open meeting.

We are about to do a press release and so early indications that some Albacores may join us would be appreciated. If two days is too much, the big day will be the Sunday when the full Merlin fleet will be out.

Hi Dom,

I have this event on my radar. Just waiting for a new rudder to turn up.

That's good as it would be nice to have a few Albs there alongside their older sister the Firefly.

Hi Dom

I plan to be there for Saturday and hopefully also Sunday dependant on finishing time as I have to get to an event in Bournemouth for the evening! Will look forward to seeing the new Gun Boat Matt!

It would be good to get an idea of numbers of who can attend this event. It will be a good season opener so I hope we can launch a good number of boats.

Thanks
Albacore Andy

Sadly this clashes on the Sunday with the warsash spring series, but 8153 will be there sailed by the younger generation!

Come on where are all you hardy sailors we can't be shown up by the Fireflies and Merlins. We do need a few boats out from under their covers!

Albacore Andy

Will be there Sunday only with 8155.

I remember now why I don't normally do winter sailing - frozen fingers!!
Anyhow, good to get a run out in the new boat.

Dom, you may find a damp festering wetsuit in your changing room with the name Thompson written on the inside.

Don't worry about getting it back to me - I think it is really fit for the bin!
