31/7/09 email Having read your request for information about Dayboats at Clubs in Dayboat Notes, we are members of the Solway YC at Kippford, on the beautiful "Scottish Riviera". While we are primarily National 12 sailors (having both a modern and several vintage clinker 12s) we fancied a boat more suitable for introducing our family to the delights of dinghy sailing. Having looked around, the Dayboat was exactly what we wanted; a trip to Bosham in February 2008 and DB344 "Brillig" was on the long trek North of the Border. She has been exactly what we wanted; great for the family but the big bonus, a lot of fun racing in the Solway YC's handicap fleet, turning in some quite respectable results. She gets many admiring looks and lots of favourable comments |
