Dear Joan

DCA FILM

I have heard this week from Vanessa Bird of Orbit Productions that this will be broadcast as part of the Getting Afloat series on Discovery Home & Leisure on the following dates:

Monday 16 June 6.30 pm Friday 27 June 6.30 am Friday 27 June 12.30 pm

The DCA doesn't occupy the whole programme, but only the second half (about 15 minutes), so please be patient!

The series has already started and features Nick Gates stepping aboard a wide variety of traditional craft, as well as following his restoration of a 1950s Sharpie. Vanessa tells me she and Nick plan to sail the finished boat to the Yarmouth Old Gaffers Festival at the end of May and will be sleeping on board. She says she hopes it will be the start of a lot more dinghy cruising.
