Coo there's the one to watch - definitely a "Wild Card" with Roger Gilbert (2nd helm Endeavour Trophy) and James Stewart (1st crew Endeavour Trophy). Looks like the Rs's have realised that Merlins have fun!!

Megan 9+83 = 101 or maybe accounting for dodgy arithmetic 100?

Definately dodgy maths! me thinks that 83 + 9 = 92! Which is what the Salcombe Harbour Master thinks too! ( The new one can count..........................)

Definitely!

no way we can hit the magic 100 with dis mafs

how did the max ever get calculated in the first place

Multiply 46 x 14ft = 644. The width of the start line = 643ft

dide by three = about 200yds which alhumdallah is approx the width of the river at HW. Note I say approx!

Oh pooh!!  Thanks Claire and Lucy!  I only said to GGGG last week that I mustn't forget my Salcombe entry and then I had Phil on the phone on Saturday......  My desk is groaning under the weight of work but looks like I need to get my life sorted for the important things in it!!  

John - the cheque is in the post! Please make sure that I'm not number 10! (Well, if I am, it's my own fault....)

Will, 
That link is not working, but is it about the boat shed in island street that got sold for £450k ?

Looks like a good place for where I can keep my family for the two weeks, now my nice new shiny merlin, will be kept in the flat when I am down there

The link works if you drop the .html - http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=28233&in_page_id=34

�402k for that - fools and money easily parted - think of all that beer you could buy!
