Footie Yacht's 2014

Received this e-mail from Member Terry Miles a few weeks ago, but unfortunately he had sent it to my old email address, so just a reminder to you to check out your email address and make sure Andy the sec has your right one in his records.

Back to Terry's email, you may remember (or not) that a few posts back I mentioned that Terry had build two Footie yachts one for him and one for his wife Melanie.

Here is Terry's item.

Just a thought - I don't know whether this is something to put on the website, it is a link to the UK Footy website

 www.sailfootyuk.com?

if you have a browse you will see it is an excellent resource for plans, building guides etc. and all things Footy.

I have also attached a copy of the Footy Rules together with the Rules Summary.

It may spark someone's interest to have a go at building a footy

 Correx Hull & Bin Bag Sails = very cheap sailing boat!! 

Regards,Terry

Thanks for this info Terry always nice to have some items of interest from Members to publish, perhaps we might see Footie races at our lake as well as the popular Fiesta's and "J" class races in the future, just the job for those of you thinking of downsizing to something lighter these days when you are getting older, it does come to us all, it's nice to have a big un on the lake but is it getting harder each time you go these days?, if so these little beauties may be just the job for you!

If you are interested in these nippy little yacht's I'm sure Terry will be only too happy to guide you in your build.
