... Having seen Andy 416's excessive mast rake on Sunday (initially I thought he knew something about rig settings that I didn't) I am going to add a back up...
come on guys i'm still waiting to see the pics from the training day, Dad says he learnt loads(not least that the shrouds are in the wrong place) how did...
... Look ... I did try a couple of times last week, but had an IT challenge. Have now done it, by uploading 4 at a time rather than 5. So there are now 20 pics...
Was sailing 410 this weekend, and destroyed the wire portion of the kicker, again it went just above the ferrule of the bottom joint. As a result I'm going to...
Nice to see a small fleet of Solutions. I did notice that some of you have the mini Hawk wind indicator as used on the Laser and Solo. I also got one of these...
Now I know that most of you will have the adjustable forestay (If the wire holds together that is!). Some of us just have the lanyard cleat and have to set it...
Hi all. I think I'm about to make the commitment and put my money down on a Solution. I currently sail a Laser inland but find it one of the most uncomfortable...
Tim I recently made the move from a Laser to the Solution. Having sailed a Laser on and off for over 20 years I was looking for something that offered a new...
I was a diehard member of the crews union and never really wanted to hold the steering stick. Then work got in the way and there were too many occasions when...
My first thought would be to retro fit a stay adjuster, but assuming that this is not an option for you. I would go for a much more neutral set up, a bit more...
Tim I was just about to reply to your email and I see that you have already made your decision, but I'll send my message anyway in case you have any doubts in...
Many thanks for the kind offer. It's only 60 odd miles to Lyme Regis so I may well look you up. Obviously I'll spend the first few weeks fiddling around with...
Tim Send me a message when you think you might fancy a trip to the coast to make sure we are likely to be around. We have one talented couple from Bath who...
I'll bear it in mind - many thanks. It'll make a nice change sailing on the sea - something us river sailors are not used to. Gusty, flukey winds, river banks...
Both 416 and 399 almost lost their rigs today due to the problem with the wire going at the marker ferrule. We are both going to change to a rope system as...
By boat (393) has been returned with the shroud plates moved 3 ins forward. The boat is improved and appears to sail much more to handicap. Both Stan (395)who...
Has every one who has a Solution got a Solution class website sticker on there boat? If not let me know and I will send them one. Gavin yours is in the post. ...
To date we have had a very positive response, with 80% of solution owners joining the class association. But it would be nice to have 100% So if you have a...
Hi Kev I do not have one and would be greatfull if you could send one. I have had the shrouds moved 3ins forward and the boat is much better sailing in club...
Missing my boat at the moment, as have had too many other things on like race duties, baby minding etc. The boats at Hunts are going well, and only loosing out...
Hi Andy, We finally had a course set at Hunts with some good reaches last Wednesday evening and the boat performed well on handicap. Only losing out to one...

Personally I think the longer it takes Simon to right his boat the better for the rest of us, cant have him winning all the windy races as well. I suspect the...
The Delph boats still not getting anyway near the PY of 1066. For example 4 of us went to Bala last weekend and to get to our "rightful" position relative to...
It wasn't the kindest course for the Solution - two beats, one very (very) short reach and two immensely long very broad reaches/runs. Upwind was OK despite...
How are solution sailors faring in handicap fleets in comparison with where they were finishing in other classes? As Patrick mentioned, the delph sailors are...
On the handicap issue in the right conditions (force 2 upwards) and on a favourable course (at least an equal length of reaches compared to runs) I think I am...
I am based at Leigh and Lowton near Manchester, inland lake with lots of Solos and Lasers. Overall, I am not doing too badly against these types of boats...
