We have been sailing spices for the last 4 years and over that time we have only sailed against or with a hand full of them, bearing in mind there must be at least 64 spices about, where are they? |

a handful of boats out of 60 is quite a good percentage - consider the Buzzes with 600+ produced and only 20 or so at their nationals!
There are definitely a few in the Datchet boatpark and Bob Ladell knows who they are - so if we have an event there later in the year maybe we could contact them direct about it? |

Just one - belonging to the Youth Group. Apparently it ventures out "occasionally". Not seen it yet this year. |

Clearing out my old Spice Assoc mails I found that in 2001 there were 40 yes 40 registered Spices in the Assoc. Has anyone got the list still??? |

Speaking to one of the RS200 's crew from our club at the weekend, they sailed down at salcombe week last year and found them selves being luffed all over the place by a spice before it disappered into the distance, any clues to who that might be? |

A friend of mine has just acquired one of the sunsail boats (351), it's OK but has some bits missing. I've posted a list of bits we need in the classified if anyone can help - be good to see another out on the water! |

Can we please see if we can get a list of people's contact details to me, via the website (www.topper-spice.com), as i am trying to organise some training days, and am looking at the possibility of taking over the class assoc from Chris later this year. It would be great to have a definate list of active boats!!
Thanks

Hi
Bought Spice 317 late last year and at present am sailing it in Norfolk, my friend (William) also aquired 312 at around the same time and is keen but not getting enough time on the water.
Would be interested in some training.
All the best
Regards
Kevin |
