Hi Robin! I hope to get to Bradwell this year as my boat, a Newbridge Venturer is almost finished. It would have been finished ages ago but for a truly rubbish winter from a health  point of view. Nothing serious but never ending! I have bought a new Scanes sail which I have been rigging if late and finally got it up the mast a couple of days ago. I then got it down again to sort out the lines that had got themselves crossing each other when they shouldn't.(my excuse!)

I am not sure about sailing down in an elderly twenty two footer skippered by an elderly 5'8" 'er. I might bring her down on her trailer subject to the cost of lifting etc. We'll see.
