Re: Lerryn 2012
So here we are Lerryn 2012.
We took 4 boats and 5 engines to Fowey, for the 24th Lerryn Seagull Race.
On the morning of the race there was not much water, but we still launched with no problems.
"Kids boat for a featherweight" has a new lick of paint. Fowey has a great slip if you have not been there.
We were soon on our way up to Lerryn, but ran out of water so had pasties for lunch with a little beer for the adults .
There are worse places in January to have lunch.

More to follow.

On our way under tow. Bit muddy for Seagulls, power tilt Yam did ok.
Soon got to Lerryn, in plenty of time. Checking out the fleet, got some funny looks
There was a good turnout.

Charles was there but did not race, I think he is saving himself for Bermuda or NZ.

Another vid on the tube.

I think that this is the best so far, realy shows how the locals struggle with the 170s
It does show that it is a good fun event, and even shows the pub.

P.S. "Come in No. 35 your time is up"

Re: Lerryn 2012
I'm missing it. There's a blank space on the pub wall where I usually look while ruminating on the temperature of the Doom.

Re: Lerryn 2012
Excellent.
Well the Solstice picinic is as near to the 21st as poss. alowing tides / location. Date announced nearer the time.
Had my eye originally on that plaque when I eventually found it went to the winner of the most subscribed class. Not an advertised fact . . . got the broken oar inscribed a couple of times, but not good enough.
We'll see how the body / building projects (no, not body-building projects) allow boat building for next Seagull race.
