"Hooked On" ContendersEver sailed, owned or been interested in the Contender class? One man that can certainly be found guilty of taking pleasure in anything Contender oriented is writer and sailor, Dougal Henshall. Dougal has recently published a book on the class. The aptly named "Hooked on" covers the history of the boat, class, clubs and people that have given rise to the modern Contender. As a club cited as influential within the UK's Contender scene, Dougal is providing a talk on the subject at Weston Sailing Club (Southampton) on Saturday 20th February. Weston SC will also welcome all Contender sailors that bring their boats along for the day to join club racing prior to the evenings talk. Open to all comers, the event is free of charge. Racing will begin at 12:30 and the talk at 7:30pm, the bar of course will be open. Those interested in attending are requested to email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
