Evo is very keen to be at this one. The thought of sailing from the Cove again leaves a warm glow...

[simon_jones]

This sounds like a good one ( I thought all the entries were full when I looked earlier in the year, unless that was still last years message on the website). We may go to this one, as we will be missing the two June events due to moving house.

[PaulJ]

Entries very much still available, but I would suggest getting an entry in soon as places are fillling up quickly

Could this be slotted into the program as a 'Travellers Event' in place of Royal Victoria (assuming the weather forecast stays the same for this weekend)

[Torchy]

I was already tempted by this and if a traveller event I would be even keener mainly because it would encourage more Cherubs to attend

[Graham Bridle]

The only issue I have with this being a replacement travellers, is 1 - would be nice to ask RV first if there was any suitable date for a rerun, and 2 - If entries get full and someone cant enter, thats not really on. Other than that, I'm cool and am intending to go.

[Torchy]

If re-run at RV is possible...yes, would go for that.

Depending on things, may go for Weymouth too

[PaulJ]

According to the notice of race there is no entry limit. Entries do close on Wednesday 11th July though, so no entries on the day.

If we can get enough boats there this year we could propose that we get our own start next year if everyone enjoyed it.

Let's get a few boats entered soon to get a bit momentum going

[Graham Bridle]

is this the right entry form ?

[PaulJ]

Yes correct entry form. I have entered under the asymmetric class

[Graham Bridle]

Entered - so people know it doesnt want the money now, I presume you have to stump up on the day.

[BenR]

do you have to let the club you are launching from know or will that be sorted out by regatta organisers?
Quite keen for this one.

[PaulJ]

Graham. I think you get an email asking you to pay by cheque or bacs. I don't think you are fully entered until you have paid.

Ben I think all visitors will launch from Castle Cove, this is indicated on the entry list next to your entry

[roland_trim]

Gents the headline from Weymouth is ENTER ONLINE, preferably sooner rather than later. 
In a previous mail they mention that online entry only is available and they have in previous years turned boats away on the day.


From Weymouth comittee.


Roland,
Thankyou. The reason for online entries is so that we can plan resources - we run 2 dinghy courses out in Weymouth Bay so need to know approximately how many boats are coming. People can pay by Cheque or cash on the day. If people do not turn up because of an unfavourable forecast then it is our loss - it has not been a problem so far!
 
Looking at entries - we have 3 Cherubs already entered.
 
Hope to see you on the 14th July for a sail on Olympic waters 2 weeks before the main event.
 
Paul
