sadly i heard today that Erl who prev owned 2007 had sadly died of lung cancer.
from Shanklin he did a lot of good work for promoting the dart 15
i met Erl when he kindly brought the boat to swanage when i bought it from him by looking at pictures only. he delivered it and rigged it from car topped in under and hour.
the boat had sailed around the iow and also been to the channel islands.

Bala S.C first sail 7th april 2019
setting off to bala around 7.20am and arrived 8.50am
found the boat after the floods and set about unraveling the mast and fittings
got it all sorted with about 10 mins to spare to launch for first race.
new mainsail and new downhaul added.
the course was wrote down on the printed map and then used gaffa tape to fix to sail.
the courses can be all over the place so it did help.
the wind was light but did build for race 3 in the afternoon.
lunch in the lakeside cafe was good the sun was out so sat outside.
sailing on bala was good but very fickle. thats lake sailing surrounded by trees and mountains.
Boat didnt seem to want to go fast even in the breezy bits. i think the rigging is maybe too tight, early days yet plenty of time to sort.
it was good to be back on the water. total miles over 14 sailing time 2h 40
