Three Rivers Race: I can't get enough of Dylan Winter!
If I had a bucket list (which I don't; I am more of the type to play it by ear, see what life offers up, and see what falls out), racing in the U.K Three Rivers Race on the Norfolk Broads would be at top. I have written several posts over the years about the Three Rivers Race, most of the posts featured the superb Dylan Winters videos which have since disappeared. However, this Dylan Winter video on the Three Rivers Race has resurfaced and is a perfect summery antidote for a Mid-Atlantic evening where we are bundled up in an early December cold-snap and the temperatures at night have been dipping well below zero.
Dylan Winter is asking those who enjoy his videos to consider contributing some cash. His website is over here.
Thanks for sharing that, it was brilliant....! I didn't know it existed, and I also had no idea so many of the grand old Broads yachts were still going. Heartening to see. The skills of the sailors, navigating in such close quarters was also impressive. I liked the guys roll-tacking the lovely lapstrake 14ft dinghies.! And the Norfolk Punts are spectacular.
Always fancied renting a Broads boat, but never got around to it. Many jokes have been made about broads on a boat/ boats on the Broads....
Bald but my eyebrows are growing at a prolific rate. Sailed Windmills and Y-Flyers in the 1960's. Founded Miami University (OH) sailing team. Sailed International 14's and Lasers in the 1970's. Sailed International Canoes in the 1980's to mid 1990's. Sailed Classic Moths since 2002. Enjoy boatbuilding though I'm very, very slow at it (the Internet doesn't help matters). Name in real life: Rod Mincher
After choosing this username (Tweezer is the name of my Classic Moth), further research on the Internet turned up that Tweezerman is a corporate name for a line of pedicure products. Let me emphasize that I do not work for, nor endorse these products.
