Good morning all. With just over a week to go until the Lakes Mortgages 2000 Class National Championships, we have a message from one of our other sponsors, West Country Boat Repairs:

"We at West Country Boat Repairs will be offering a boat MOT service on Saturday afternoon Aug 15th at Brightlingsea. We will check over your boat to try and make sure it is ready for the demands of a week of Nationals. We will have rope stock with us to replace any worn items.

This service will be running from 13.00-17.00 on Saturday afternoon. You can book a slot by contacting Pete Vincent on 07813 899043 or Grant Wilton on 07367 753365, or you can give give us a ring as soon as you get to Brightlingsea.

We will be bringing boat boat repair materials to try and keep every boat on the water the whole week. Note we will repair things that will stop people racing not small scale nicks"

You’re ready for Summer Sailing – but is your boat?
FREE Trailer & trolley check with our Summer Boat Check Service!
Light use on a Wednesday night for an hour and everything might seem fine, but after the effort of towing, rigging and launching, your family holiday or nationals sailing experience can easily be spoilt by gear failure.

Our most important team member has found a cool spot! Meanwhile Kimberley started work at 7.45, before it gets so hot that the gel coat starts to go off before we can get it on!

So happy to see this 30 year old RS200 looking like new! It's an absolute classic that was used as a demo and sailed by many a rock star back in the day!

Cracking photo, we just had to share it!
From Loch Long (featured last week) to the RS400, we're loving Loch Lomond!

Photo of the week - David Sparkes and Fergus Duncanson sending it on Loch Lomond! The moody cloud is obscuring Ben Lomond. The boat name is the icing on the cake! Photo thanks to Bill Fowler.

Every now and then, we get asked to do a job that stands out from the crowd and this was one such occasion. Can you guess how much a new one cost in 1937? Click the link for more pics, detail and the answer!
