GJW Direct SailFest, WPNSA, August Bank Holiday 2013

[sailracer]

SailFest is the new annual sailing festival to take place in August each year at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA), as a continuing legacy of the Olympic Games events held there.  Running from Friday 23rd to Monday 26th August, 3 days of racing on the Olympic waters on 2 or more courses will culminate in a big pursuit race on Bank Holiday Monday.  Winter Series style handicap racing but with fleet starts for any class attracting a significant number of boats, and much more going on besides.  The racing is preceded by a training day on the Friday and will include a Class Association Display in the hangar, shore side displays, tasters, trial sails, activities and live presentation of the on-water action.

Would be great to see some Cherubs there!

Single handers £65, double handers £75
Training day £37 per boat (1 or 2-crew)

And, as it is just too cold to think about summer sailing at the moment (in lieu of the £10 early bird discount having just ended) all entries received between now and the end of May will receive a £10 voucher to redeem at the WPNSA cafe during the event.

Sorry no interest, Cherub nationals on the same dates and given the choice I think that will be the better event.

Hi SailRacer,

Roland is right, unfortunately this event clashes with our nationals so its unlikely you'll see any Cherubs there this year, however we appreciate the invite and hope you'll keep us informed of all future events in the same way, as I know there are sailors in the fleet that would like to attend events like this.

Cheers

Graham

Hi Sailracer, as has been said this clashes with our nationals this year, otherwise I would definitely like to come along, please keep us in mind for future events.
