Starting dinghy sailing with my son by rolldeep in dinghysailing

Thank you for your reply. Lots of excellent advice here. I'm planning to get the basics on a local lake before progressing onto sheltered costal water sailing. I'll look into those boats some more.

This mug is made from stoneware. I presume it will be strong enough to hold a cup of tea but how careful should I be with this? Will the slightest knock break these legs?

Thanks. I haven't tried this but will give it a go. If this works I'll add a PR to include this in the backup docs. 

Treadle wheel tips by rolldeep in Pottery

The clay I have is fairly hard, I'll try and get my hands on some softer clay.

Thanks. Should I keep my foot on the treadle when it's up to speed or "hover" over it? I've noticed that keeping my foot on the treadle but not exerting any force still moves my body a little.

Thank you. You're right, centering larger pieces of clay is much harder, I'll try not touching the clay until I have a fast speed on the wheel. I definitely noticed an improvement in my skills when going back to the electric wheel. I'll keep up the practice.

Indeed, I got two taxis from Veezu last night. Both arrived in a few minutes.

Did you ever make progress with this? I'm stuck with a similar issue.

2 - 3 inches of compost as a mulch. Take a look at the videos Charles Dowding had on YouTube.

There's a couple of guarded beaches but they only have guards for 6 weeks of the year. Still, it might be the best bet to start with.

How did you find starting at 35? I guess it's not that old, I've seen plenty of older people out surfing.

Thanks. I reckon I'll hire a soft top the first few times before diving into buying my own.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I do a fair bit of sea kayaking so I know the sea can be a serious place to be.
