We had a good turnout of 6 Classic Finns at Roadford which was fitting at it was the CVRDA’s 20th anniversary national rally and both Roadford Lake Sailing Club and the CVRDA were instrumental in encouraging the sailing of Classic Finns which has led us to the current travellers series. There’s a full report on the BFA results page and CVRDA results page.
The first event of this years new Classic travellers series has just been held at Bosham. A great weekend with good breezes and non stop sunshine, together with courses which seemed to take us up and down nearly all the creeks in the harbour. Three Faireys made up the Classic fleet, Doug Branson’s 454, my 197 and Peter Blick joined in on Sunday having had car failure whilst on his way on Saturday morning.
The next event will be the CVRDA Clywedog rally, a fantastic venue in a large remote lake in the middle of Wales over the Bank Holiday weekend, 25th, 26th and 27th May. Details are on the CVRDA site. Join us if you can.
Looking at the register I reckon I remember this boat when it was owned by Martin Scarth at Maylandsea Bay, it was a beautiful boat. If you get it finished in time we can have a competition between two Bruder rigs which would be good!
I was hoping to go, last open I did at Burnham was in the late 70s, but I’m not able to make it so I’m going to sail on the muddy Bristol Channel instead of the muddy Crouch.
