Great work Stu and co.

I don't doubt the amount of work involved in getting to this point.

I am going to have a bit of a road trip on the weekend of 8th -9th August then and will have to miss the Saturday. (sister's wedding).  Fastnet race starts on the Sunday 9th. I can't complain about 2 weeks of solid sailing though.

We went there in 1996 or 1997. It was great: Phil explained his behaviour to a policeman, beer got on the ceiling and we slept atop a minibus. On the way back we blew up a clutch and got a tow all the way to Aberdeen.

I remember colliding with a leeward mark such that it handily pushed the pole in, and it being really really sunny.

I had LFC in those days!

Unfortunately I don't think I will get to try my luck with the local constabulary again, I can't do those dates.

even though i don't own a cherub * i wont be able to crew for anyone then as will be blasting around in the solent racing on 14ft, however if i was to become free for some unknown reason. what would the chances of being 'loaned' a boat to use for the event be?

So Thornbury SC Regatta will be May 30 & 31st.

Phil & Sarah the challenge is on. Will E-numbers be ready in time.

Great attendance last year so looking forward to an other great Cherub turnout.

If you can put it in the traveller series that would be really good.

Cheers

Paul

perhaps we should try and pull the nationals forward a week so we race sat sun mon tues, thus meaning no clash with cowes week or fastnet race plus other events, and people will only need 2 days off work.

just my 2p's worth

roker dinghy regatta is 22nd and 23rd of august if we have enough cherubs we will get our own start.

...and the handicap events (as opposed to pursuit) will help us produce an official class PY.
They don't do that much to help. As I understand it the drivers for PY credibility are number of races particpated in and consistency between clubs. What makes more difference than anything else is to get out every weekend at your club and make sure the club does an RYA return. 4 big handicap events doesn't add any more value for the PY system than the same number of boats doing 4 weekends of club racing... So get out there folks!

Sure - but lets do both! Whilst club races may count as much for PY, the big events show off our class publically. If we can show our boats to be exciting and with good turnouts to a big audience we will tempt in new recruits - especially now there is clear way of competitive entry to the class with the Bloodaxe E5s and Aardvark Banshees.

So for diaries, something to be going on with in anticipation of the 2009 calendar;
28 Dec - Grafham Grand Prix, GrafhamSC
10 Jan - Bloody Mary, Queen MarySC
7/8 Feb - Tiger Trophy, RutlandSC

We are on for the latter two.

Any thoughts on another training week like last year it was brilliant espcially the coaching with Peter on the Wednesday.  As it turnes out it was the most i sailed all year! (I must do better)  I hope to do some more events this year but i'm just praying that they don't all fall on my weekend on (i.e. every other one!) and i hope my crew still wants to sail as i've only seen him twice since feb last year!

Dean and I would be very interested in another training week. Last year was a great reason to get out of the garage and onto/into the water.

We will want to show the list of events at the dinghy show. 

A practice week at a similar time of year will be a good point to encourage interested newbies to join us and have a go see the boats and make contacts with the class.
