Yes, it is the Spring Bank Holiday Week.
That will be two Classic Red CC19s there (so far).

Unfortunately, I have a son in the middle of AS's , so won't be able to make that with Drift that weekend. However might personally be able to runaway for a day if I can find a local B&B and anyone wants crew.

Hopefully your delivery will be on time. Bob likes to get the boats right, but the build for mine did slip quite a lot last year. If Bob needs a boat for a show, funny things happen to the schedule....
Sounds like your timing won't have that, but you may wish to keep poking with a sharp stick
You might want to look at the options page at
http://yachtdrift.wordpress.com which is half finished, but having been over a number of boats and been through the process in detail may help you tweak things.

I'm retiring on 1st April so flexible on dates. Will be mainly single handed with my son crewing at the weekend.
Am based in Dorset near Weymouth so anywhere on South Coast is easy to reach. Paul

Sorry folks, wot I have said is rubbish. I got my Pauls mixed up (Roper and Turner).
Runrig's boat will of course be blue when Bob gets his finger out and builds it.
Runrig's boat is Red

You mean I was right first time, before I unrighted myself with my correction(not)
I think I will change my username to "Confused".
I am away to lie down in a darkened room for a while.

Add Ladybird to the list. At least for the first few days, work commitments I am afraid.
See you all there.

We have booked into the Premier Inn between Truro & Falmouth as a family for the bank holiday weekend (cheap & cheerful?). Then the family are heading home & I will have the rest of the week on the boat. So it looks like we are definite.

Excellent.
If you want some crew, Donald Graham (#98 Cape Whisper) has told me that he is keen to crew for someone, as he does not want to trail his boat all the way from Scotland. Simon White has also offered to crew for a short period.
Bob Brown has assured me that Paul Turner will have his new CC19 in April, so he should make it as well.
I think the list so far is:
Definites:
"Aurora" Charles Erb and family
"Mary Ann" Dennis Ogle
"Ladybird" Ian and Heather Barnes
"Fraoch" Paul Roper
"Lucy" Russell Eden (Cornish Yawl)
"Nettie" Richard Rickard
Mike Brooke, Association President
Julian Fisher. No boat, but would like to experience sailing Capecutters)
Probables:
"?" Paul Turner (Depends upon HM delivering new boat on time)
Possibles:
"Iris" Richard Tinsley (Depends upon work committments)
Have I missed anyone?

Dennis - I was with Richard this weekend and assume that he and Nettie are definite.
We should own up that Lucy isn't a CC19.
