BR20 Trial Sought
« on: 20 Aug 2019, 17:59 »
I am contemplating an upgrade from my current Storm 17 to a BR20 and wonder if there is anyone within sensible distance of West Wales with a BR 20 who would be willing to take me out for a sail at a mutually convenient time? I have tried out a BR17 and a BRE but would like to experience helming a BR20 if at all possible.

Regards

Gareth, Im afraid I don't have a 20 and am too far away from you anyway - but I would like to express a keen interest in your Storm 17 if you do upgrade. Regards, David (Suffolk)

Hi Gareth

If you are ever over in Ireland, I'm down in the south west and would be happy to give you a trial. I might even be tempted to part with her

... and so would I.

Though transfer would not be before the Pasaia Maritime Festival 2020, and the Glandore Classic 2020. C.

Thanks to Plastic Paddy for the offer. SW Ireland is a lovely place but a bit further than I want to travel for a trial sail at present. IF I decide to sell Gwennol Teifi I'll advertise her through the forum, but I have by no means made up my mind yet!

Hi Gareth,

I hope to be sailing my BR20, Gladys, at Bala this Saturday 31st August and your welcome to have a trial sail.  Gladys is due a minor refit after ten years adventures but I'm sure you will make allowances.

Matthew

My email to you has bounced back so presume you must have changed it since we last corresponded. Would be very grateful for a sail at Bala on Saturday - just say where and when. We may camp overnight on the Friday.

Hi Gareth

I can meet you at Bala Sailing Club 11.00 am Saturday. 

In case anyone else is interested in joining us with or without their own boat, Bala Sailing Club has good facilities and day membership is/was £15/boat.

I'm sorry your email bounced Gareth, I changed my personal Yahoo email address some years ago after a nasty virus attack.  I've sent you a message on this forum messaging system with my new email and my mobile phone number.
