Congratulations to Patrick for yet another superb magazine.  The picture quality gets better and better, another baffling Salcombe guide - good work!

Andrew

Thanks Andrew.
It gave me a kind of sadistic pleasure to crop Dave Winder off the front cover!
But that shot seems to epitomise Merlin Sailing on those light trickly runs - Well done Peter Newton
I am pleased with the print quality this time too - thanks to Gipping Press.
Thanks also to all the other contributors - did you spot the '...if you smell Marlborough Light on the run...'?

I laughed out loud! Quality quote!

Great magazine, the whole section on the possible National winners was brilliantly written but with no author attributed. Was it you Pat?

Martin Hughes wrote it.
It is good isn't it - the boy has hidden depths.
It was another good excuse to use one of Lesley Turtle's excelent photos from Abersoch.
Turtle has given up marine photography but Peter Newton is coming to Pwllheli - so another good reason to come is to get some great pictures of your boat on the sea with the most spectacular backdrop anywhere

great magazine again.
But come on people, its what we expect from a class act!

by the way, older boats required at Nationals to provide further pictures of wooden boats.

Much enjoyed the Mag, well done Patrick.

Just wanted to flag up a typo that suggests that there is a Sea meeting at Hamble on the 22nd July, when it is of course HAYLING.

See you all at Salcombe - less than 2 weeks to go..

GGGGGGGGGGG

After another browse through the pictures in the magazine I note that not only have you cropped David Winder off the edge of the front cover but the excellent photo above the seedings for this year's Salcombe Week has 3511 stuck into the spine between the pages!  Such licentious behaviour for a professional!

(though to be fair only someone earnestly looking to see if their boat could have made it into the class magazine would have noticed)
