I came back from Portugal last night the proud owner of the Dunkirk "Little Ship" ELVIN.(See her on www.adls.org.uk,she has had 2 new diesel engines since then!)My big problem is that I am now bringing her back from France in August and the plan is to be at Ramsgate on Monday 18th August,the 2nd day of the Nationals! If anyone wants very reasonable accommodation plus boat plus parking space I am open to any offers,Hywel

Congratulations Hywel!  Sorry that you won't be able to make it to the champs though.  Anyone else out there - it's a great opportunity - take advantage!

Put a mast on it and it will be a good committee boat, or for entertaining sponsors on. Stop off at Looe on your way to Ramsgate not that big a detour.

The mighty Elvin may have survived Dunkirk - but it'll never survive being Porkinzed!!!

Hi, I am already sailing at Looe with my own Merlin but as I live in Torbay approx 50miles from Looe I was going to commute.  However, would be interested in your accommodation but there will probably be only myself,crew and my wife.
If this is still available, we would like the accommodation from Saturday through to Friday, what rate are looking for.

Cheers, Steve

Your little Dunkirk project looks interesting.  Good Luck.
