If your off-season home improvement/renovation project is not down to the last coat of paint, it might be time to call in the professionals as the final races in the Schweppes Applecross Cup are on this Saturday and Sunday and you won’t have time to grout too many tiles before the warning signal at 0930. Ten ( that’s 10) races are scheduled over the 2 days and although Greg and Hector (Spot the difference) are the current leaders, like a plate of free venison, it’s anybody’s game. (Sorry, dad joke)

The word from the quartet of international travellers in Ireland has our South of Perth sailors sitting about mid-fleet after the first 2 races in the Irish National Championships. Full results of the championships can be found here.

The conveniently forgotten figure of Flat Stanley has made an appearance in Ireland and a report on his exploits can be found here.

Thanks to John Hassen and Kevin Griffiths for sending the reports.

See you at the AGM on Wednesday night.

Russell, your Flying 15 Scribe.
