Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Sailing - dinghies, yachts, inshore, coastal, ocean?! :-)

Shortening courses due to light winds is fairly common. Moving the gate angles is due to wind shifts. Not sure if the gate marker floats are moved by rhibs or geo-tagged self-propulsion.

The racers don’t appear to acknowledge these changes via vhf. Maybe they have some form of push-button confirmation to the race officials?

Well, I very much liked the Wanderer that I saw - good price, good nick for age, with all the bits working, including road trailer, launching trolley, and extras such as outboard mount, paddles, spinnaker unused and that I'd probably never use either etc.

As my wife said, "Just get it!" I think she's trying to shut me up! :-) G

I agree with your wife!!

If you buy at a reasonable price then you’ll get most/all of your money back if you choose to re-sell quite quickly anyway and you’ll have had fun in the mean time😃

Do it, or you will regret it. If you don't use it, you can always move it on. Happy sailing! :-)

I think the vote from the Fetch jury is "get it"! Thanks all. And moreover, I have to save AC from acquiring yet more old boats! :-) G

About This Thread

Arrrr, yo ho ho ho, ahoy there me hearties heart etc.

Pirate speech optional.

Might just be me and Angus Clydesdale, but anyone else into sailing? I'm just getting back to dinghy sailing and loving it. I got canoe during lockdown cos a mate at work cajoled me into it. Then paddleboards because of the good people on the Kayaking and Canoeing thread. But when it's windy, paddling is hard. Sailing is so much better.

So... anyone? :-) G
