SWMBO and I drove to Ullapool, and stayed at the Caledonian, for the last May bank holiday weekend.
Out for a drive, we stopped at Gairloch and I spotted this little fleet on the hard.
......
.....
Google found this info -
International 2.4 metre .
They all were fitted with a pretty hefty bilge pump so I guess that they're a bit 'wet' to sail.
Does anyone know anything about them? Do they sail at displacement speed based on LWL?
Just curious

There's no such thing as global warming, it's made up by hippies.

Just cos it's howling ( maybe not quite that bad ) wind and pi55ing down rain is no reason to take the huff!!!!

I've had some great food in that hotel over the years. I once ordered mussels as a starter for £3.50 and could not eat my main dish. I'd love to sail around the Summer Isles on e day too. Sigh.

Sorry Ash, a late response to the thread, but, as a habitual non-racer, I'd love a shot at one of these. Thanks.
