The iconic Bloody Mary pursuit race yesterday. Ben McGrane in 4257 finishing 5th ,proving that with the right " driver " wood can still win!

Thank you Will and Nigel for scanning and getting the old magazines in the " about" section. Great to reach back to a time when it was rare to see two boats the same colour. And when you could almost buy a new mast for the price of many sailing clubs lunch!😁

Trying to replace a haliard sheeve- current mast has a smaller diameter and mounting pin size. My worn out one is 26mm diameter, 8 mm width ( 9 would fit) and a mount pin of 4.66 ( 5 would fit) Help please!

How are people getting on with flattener? Easier to sail and still be able to stay within sight of other boats? I don't want to go down the B rig option but starting to struggle with my cumulus at 13st - not sure if its just age. Any other big wind suggestions?

The new rule was approved at the Agm but I cant find any detail, beyond us being allowed to put an extra eye in the sail leach. I would like to set this up before the autumn gales. Are there any restrictions on what can be fitted to operate the extra eye?

What do you use as a reference point when running downwind with reverse flow? David Greening has given me some great advice on setting the kicker but it would be useful to hear what to use as a steering guide.
