Not much to post today – will update on my progress on the starboard gunwale at weekend; along with some of the pre-planning I’m doing for some of my proposed summer trips. I was on Gavin’s site (http://intheboatshed.net/ ) the other day and he had a lovely Youtube clip of some old dinghies being sailed in the 1960’s at Looe – one of the places I aim sailing to in August.
Since then Gavin has given more details of these dinghies which are Redwings – visit his site to find out more about them. Last summer I was at Looe and I think I may have come across one of two of these – they were having a dinghy race with some old wooden dinghies which one guy said had been the subject of some conservation project – I’m now wondering if they were actually surviving Redwings
I also found this clip of a navigator sailing but I can’t find where I got it from....and I can't remmeber whether I've put it on the site or not before - a Homer 'doh!' moment again - sorry folks - anyway if you know who it is ....please do let me know so that I can acknowledge them....I know I downloaded it from YouTube but in my haste forgot to book mark the page or record the details. If it is you reading this blog – I’m really sorry and I hope you don’t mind me showing off your wonderful boat and sailing skills.
