Hello all,
Swallow Boats will be attending the Semaine do Golfe du Morbihan 2007 with their new BayRaider and also their Storm 17. Claus will also be there with his SeaRaider.
Am afraid we will probably not be doing Sail Caledonia this year, it is so close to the Beale Park Show, but look out for us there next year.
Another event that I am hoping you will be interested in is a Swallow Boats weekend, some time in July, held here on the river Teifi and out in Cardigan Bay. We have teamed up with the local boat club who have their own regatta that weekend, including a drascombe race. They are happy for us to join in and last year we had a few boats sailing. This year I thought it would be a good opportunity to encourage all owners of Swallow Boats (or drascombes, or any others!) to consider coming out to Wales for a weekend. There is a nearby campsite, or we can help you book B and B.
We can also show you round the new workshop, which will hopefully be completed by then, and anyone thinking of buying a boat will be especially welcome as they will be able to try most of our range.
We will probably organise a barbeque on the Saturday night and if anyone has further suggestions, we would be happy to hear them.
I will make a more formal announcement on this site as soon as I have a firm date from the sailing club.
I look forward to meeting you all
Best wishes,
Matt Newland

Re: Morbihan
The OGA trailer section are actively organising a convoy of UK trailer sailors there, I heard they already have 10 participants. I also heard they are happy to take non-OGA participants along.
Both the Flottillas No. 2 (Sail& Oar) and No. 3 (Modern Classics) will be based in Port Blanc, and will do several outings together.
Also the issue of legal requirements has been resolved. Boats under UK flag are not subjected to French safety equipment requirements.
Re: Swallowboats/Cardigan Bay weekend in July.
When exactly?
Claus

Hi Claus
had a look at the OGA trailer web site and could not see anything about a French trip. Do you have any contact details?

Brian: To get in touch with the OGA Trailer section with regards to the Morbihan, go through the OGA forum directly, there is a thread under \\\'Areas\\\', or you can find an OGA e-mail address on the www.semainedugolfe.asso.fr website forum. CU, Claus |

Gee, this sounds exciting, a loosely organised circumnavigation round Britain for all kinds of boats, including dinghies: www.fivebobchallenge.co.uk I have just watched the BBC \\\'Cost\\\' program, so this thing immediately caught my eye and imagination. What I know of the BayRaider so far, it seems to fit the challenge best, with a good sprayhood of course. C. |
