Hi Guy, a bit of a quickie.  Thursday afternoon today are the club sailing and more to the point has anyone got an Aeronaut Bella likely to turn up.  I have one that I have worked on and would like to check out performance, not racing, just general sailing.regards Roy

[Bob K]

Hello Roy,

Yes sailing as usual today at Black Park.  Thursdays peak between 12 and 2 pm, but with many coming earlier and some staying later.  Not sure about Aeronaut Bella's though.  I will ask around when I get there.

Bob K (Chairman BPMBC)

Hi Bob thanks for the quick reply.  I will see how much wind there is.  What is the water level like?  Its a bit down in most places.regards Roy

[Bob K]

Roy.  Wind forecast for 5 to 6 mph around that time.  Water level is constant as the lake is spring fed with level controlled by a small weir.

I was there for about two and a half hours today, but did not see you.
I had asked around for info on an Aeronaut Bella yacht, but no one seemed to have one.

[roycv]

Hi Bob, I had to call it off as other things intervened, don't they always.  Thanks for checking about Bellas for me, most appreciated.
Regards to all at your club, hope you had a good sailing day,
Roy

[Bob K]

Sincere thanks to all who came to Black Park for our annual Regatta.  A brilliant day of complete sunshine, light winds, and good friends.  Tables of boats extended from the entrance path right around to the boomed-off area where kids almost queued all day to use the hire fleet.  The Tombola almost sold out.

Some awesome models on display and on the water.

A total of £478.50 was raised for the RNLI.
