As the title says.. Is anyone going?

Amongst the usual stuff there'll be a load of 14's showing the history of the class through the years.

Possibly...but as it looks like it might be properly honking this weekend I'll probably be sailing instead!

Wasn't planning on going but have just seen a couple of things that might be of serious interest:





and another single hander from luca devoti or something.
Plus the 14 display would be good to see so now I'm torn on whether to go now or not....

The 14 display shows the history of the class. I can't remember the exact details but something along the lines of:

1903 (?) Bubbles - Gaff Rig
1929 Daring - Bermuda Rig
1955 (?) Barilea - hot moulded
1974 Snoggledog - First of the hard chines
2002 Windhustler - Penie
2008 (?) - Modern jobbie

And a baby 14 will be there too.

my other half is working up there. I'm going to try and make it up sunday if I can shift some of this workload... Should probably stop browsing this forum and get on with it...
