What a star! Too busy being entertained today by an old chum much improved in health after some difficult months to even think about the papers so your thoughtfulness is really appreciated.

Your point taken,Ted and thanks.  You'll be the first to know but there's more than a bit of thought to go into our 2011 family holiday plans before the question of a Devon Yawl event at Rutland can be put firmly on the agenda.

I know it's off the subject but I had a stunning sail today in Chi Harbour:  ESE wind F4 occ 5, singlehanded, 2reefs in main,mizzen, small jib -  just perfect.  Hope other members were able to enjoy it too.

Thanks for your prompt reply.  I'll wait to see if any more responses are forthcoming before I do any follow ups, but if there's  any interest in a get together perhaps a note could appear in the newsletter.

Earlier this summer I joined the Bosham Sailing Club event for yawls based in Chichester Harbour with two grandchildren and had an excellent day trailing the fleet round the course and joining in the event supper at BSC. Sandy Woodward did a grand job for us all and perhaps Rutland could be a suitable venue for something similar.
