Last Monday night was a reminder of how lucky we are at the LBT to be part of community so rich in maritime people and resources.  Just by jumping the side fence (well, wall) we were able spend an hour with Adrian Dean and dinghy design.  Adrian ranged far and wide, from where to position rowlocks, to how to get the best lines for hull speed.  We couldn't have asked for more - but we got it.  Adrian handed out beautifully printed plans for his improved Percy Coverdale dinghy - see pic below.  Thanks Adrian!  And of course that was topped off by the usual LBT dinner, cooked by Dimity.  Many thanks to Dimity too.
