We are now into what should be the final disruptive postal strike here in the UK. It’s another 24 hour one but it’s really messed our shipping up because we had one last week too. Our next shipping will be tomorrow, Wednesday 26th October. We should get 99% of our orders out the door then, but if you don’t get a shipping notification from us tomorrow afternoon then it’ll be next week.

I’m out the door on Wednesday evening for another road trip, this time it’s back to Barton’s Point on the Isle of Sheppey for the RC Laser Nationals. Two more long drives, broken up by some racing. It’s a better entry this year for the event with 15 skippers on the entry sheet. I’ll be carrying a number of spares with me but don’t plan to carry any sails with me unless requested.

Otherwise all is well, our friends at RC Yachts have sent another order, this time for 25 suits of sails and some accessories. With the boatyard being quieter I don’t feel that I need to close the shop and I’ll chew my way through the RCY order alongside my other orders.

I’ll probably have a day or two off next week too as it’s half term for Phoebe and I’d like to spend some time with her and Emily. It’ll be November by then and we’ll be turning our attention to Christmas. If you’re from far flung lands and want some Soch Sails goodness for a stocking filler then I’d urge you to order early to avoid disappointment.

To that end the shop remains open 247 to take your orders. Anything ordered after this evening (Tuesday 25th) will not be looked at until early next week.

Here are some of the sails we have produced recently.
