Hi everyone (if there is anyone?} Just thought I'd introduce myself but this forum appears to be dead? If it is this is a waste of time but we will see!
My Name is Marty (1102) and I've been sailing with the Abersoch Club most Sundays.
I live on Anglesey but can't find a local Club so it's a three hour round trip for me :(
Although I'm an experienced full size sailor I'm doing abysmally with these models at the moment ...... but I guess without losers there'd be no winners ..... glass half full ;)
If there is anyone in the Anglesey area who would like to get together for fun sailing or match racing let me know.
I wonder if I will get any replies?
Regards
Marty 1102
If any member lives on or near the isle of wight we sail all year round at Cowes Corinthian YC within the clubs marina, Friday evenings in summer Sunday mornings in winter, timed so that we can race our full size boats too.
Thanks Brian, I'm in for both too :)
Marty entry is now open for Nationals and Open event in October. Get your entry in quick. I've entered both
Hi Dave, thanks for the reply :)
I think the nearest Club to you would be Southport. The nearest Club to me is Abarsoch (hour and a half drive !) :( ...... Southport is two hours away.
Yes it would be good to find somewhere between us to sail together. I wonder if anyone on here knows of somewhere? Food for thought though.

Hey Marty. Just joined this site today and came across your post. My laser has been in storage for years. Now moved up to the Northwest, and would like to get it going again. Like you, I am an experienced big boat sailor (currently doing up my folk boat). I live in Warrington, but would be happy to meet halfway if we can find a pond to play on. I think the nearest actual club to me is on the Wirral somewhere. Regards Dave
Hi Amy, thanks for the reply , yeah, bit far to drive for a race lol
Are you 1101 (one before my number) or 1011 like your Sig' suggests?
Id like to have a punt at the Nationals the end of May but I don't hold great expectations, I'm just below middle in our fleet at Abersoch and what I lack is training time but it's kinda aimless sail alone.
It would be nice to see this forum populated with a few people!

Hi Marty I am not sure who lives in the Anglesey area. Hopefully you can find some skippers to race with. I live in Chelmsford area. Amy - GBR1011
