Sail numbers
I have posted some new information on the Technical page (Laser 13 & 16 FAQ) about sail numbers - but don't get too excited.
Away to play
Fuzzy Duck went to Essex for the Spring bank holiday weekend.
We sailed out of the very friendly and helpful Wivenhoe Sailing Club on the Colne [link to Google aerial image/map].My thanks to Grahame Hill in particular.
So we did get stuck in the mud in Alresford Creek - apparently everyone does!
But Fuzzy finally floated off and we had a great time camping along the shore and introducing some friends and their children to sailing.
Good fun. Just what Laser cruising is all about.

However, I had not imagined it would throw up a tale as remarkable as this. Click here to read on ...

It uses Google Maps. Some people have helpfully added "reports of" other boats. I'm keeping an open mind about that approach for the time being - but ideally let's have your name, boat number / name and maybe a comment about where you sail? It is possible to add links (to local dinghy club websites, for example) within your entry.
Winding up the Laser Cruising Association
At an EGM held after the AGM at Ullswater Yacht Club on 5 May 2008 members agreed to dissolve the Laser Cruising Association.
I intend to continue the site as a focus for information about the Laser 16 and 13 cruising dinghies in particular, and to provide a forum for wanted/for sale items. It will gradually be rebuilt.
And the forum remains active as a terrific source of help and information.
