Dinghy exhibition        Lots of interest in the boat at the show and the few used boats available to buy. Jonathan carter has now secured funding for the moulds and is now talking to builders for a new hull to be built this year. Jo Richards has also given us good ideas for a detachable T foil that won't be too expensive.  We are also about to seek approval from the membership about allowing more control over the GNAV system. See the discussion forum for details soon about all these topics
