Is it ok to enter on the day??

And, if I do get there, I probably wont have sailed new squid, so can I ask for some help/advice/pointers setting the rig up on the Saturday morning? I can be in the boat park early.....

you can enter onthe day but we would like to keep it all on paypal if possible to ease the management of the money.

I will be setting up a paypal option to pay for memebership as well.

I'm planning on arriving Friday night and camping at the club. Please save me a Hayley-sized spot (well, preferably enough for a small 2 man tent...). Looking forward to seeing you all

i can if required but its in need of a good service.

i will also bring a large eletric scale (so site boats on it vs hang boats) and will have it out from friday afternoon.

Please can all boats arriving weigh themselves before they get rigged.

thanks

Don't bring it specially for me, have a foot loop that needs attention but it's not critical.

Which is the best wind forecast for where we will be sailing?
Blackwater and jersey get different results

You can select Stone sailing club on WindGuru, however that seems to differ from the BBC (I used Southminster ) about the only thing to do is look at as many sites as possible, work out the average, add 20 percent if your Mr Croote. Check all this against tide data, then throw the paper in the recycling because it's bound to be a load of horlicks. Prepare for the worst hope for the best, looking forward to seeing you all soon.

I think that the best forecast is the one that says that it will be 15 knots, 25C and sunny.

Have some spare Rwo screw in bungs, but not the part they screw into.
Will bring them along in case they are useful.

Sounds just like the ones I need, martyn also has some so hopefully between us we have it sorted, otherwise duck tape will be the order of the day!

The committee would like to host a BBQ for the fleet and family Saturday night at the house we have rented just round the corner from the club.
Please bring drink and we will provide the food.
