Due to the fact that I moved house over the weekend I did not update you all on John’s progress as much as I had planned to. Unfortunately John has had to turn back some 1490km out due to severe storm damage. He is safe but no doubt disappointed.

However here are his messages leading up to and after his decision to turn back.

I would just like to say a big thank you to Richard and Tracey Metcalf for doing a great job on the rescue on Saturday, there I was drifting fast into the land of the dinosaurs well past the coast guard station no beach for landing big waves lots of wind and the mast broken in two places, all this in a boat that weighs 27kg has the foils fixed in from the underside will not stay up right on its own and is very delicate.

Also a thank you to all the people that helped on the beach when we got back everybody was first class and this is what makes this sailing club a great place it was nice to see so many people walk out and help get the Moth onto the beach with out any damage.

Thank you !

At the prize giving yesterday I forgot one of the clubs unsung hero’s Tony Padbury.
Whilst we were all having a beer and chewing the fat over a brilliant weekends water base entertainment Tony, Janet and Liz were upstairs sorting out all the results.
So Tony and team please forgive me,and all of you who sailed next time you see them give them a pat on the back.
Regards Spratty

It’s with regret to announce the passing away of Reg White. Thursday morning he played a round of golf, Thursday afternoon/evening he raced his brightlingsea One Design, just as he was steeping ashore he had a heart attack. He started his catamaran career with the Little America’s Cup and the ‘Lady Helmsman’ C-Class catamaran, the first boat with a wing sail to win a major trophy. Reg went on to become an Olympic Gold medalist in the Tornado (1976 Montreal) with crew John Osborn and also won world championships in 1976 and 1979. His East coast company have built some other famous cats like the Hurricane59, Shark, Dart 16, Dart Hawk F18, Spitfire and their last rocket, the Shockwave F18. Condolences to all the White family

A big thank you to all those who helped with the rescue of Rupert and I and for helping with searching and finding the boat.
we are very lucky to have such a dedicated team of friends.
the boat is ok, all be it a bit muddy, i’m sure the pair of us will dine out on the story many times over.
