The prestigious Parkstone Open takes place this weekend (23/24th).
For those new to the class, this is the perfect playground for moths with flat, sheltered waters. Assuming the winds are not too strong, it’s a really good testing ground topped off with a chance to meet possibly THE most amiable character in the history of the UK fleet… Sir Rod Harris who is rejoining us after a prolonged absence.
I’ll be down to help out and of course be there for the Saturday evening.
See you all there.
