We are free for this one as well. As we work every third week, we're doing well this year

Just posting to give everyone a heads up on this event before we get wrapped up with the Nats;

Royal Lymington is my home club and they are VERY excited to be hosting the Cherub open on 12/13 Sept and looking forward to seeing our craft in action. The western solent is an attractive and interesting race area with ever changing conditions as the tide slackens, changes and speeds up again.

This is a joint open with Scoprpions, Larks, Fireflies & Merlins so should be a really good crowd. We will have our own start but will share a course. Race officer is happy to discuss our requirements, they will prob set a trapezium or triangle and we can choose to just do the w/l part if we want. But maybe it would be fun to do trapeziums for a change?

Bacon & sausage butty BBQ before racing both days, tea & cakes after. Prob a band at the club on the Sat evening.

My aim is to get as many to this event as go to the Nats 4 weeks earlier! So get it in your diaries! No lame excuses, it is going to be a biggie in Cherub history.

I live in Brockenhurst SO42 7UE (4 miles north of Lym) and can offer the whole fleet camping & floor space which will keep cost down. Catch up with me at the club on the Saturday or pm me if you want to come Fri if you dont see me before. 2009 Cherub Pool Knockout Championship will start at midnight.

If it suits anyone to detour to drop their boat off at my house on the way home from Nats or Carnac I have space to store it until this event.

Who's up for it?

[roland_trim]

Is this the target for E-numbers? "A little less conversation" will may also have a new name by then...
Even if that is not the case H&I plan to be there.

[Graham Bridle]

nice patter peter, we're in, although my crew is moaning about the pool competition start time !

[Tim Noyce]

So long as I don't manage to trash my boat at the nationals then I will be there too! May as well try and have a good end to the season on the water as it's been pretty scarce so far.

It sounds excellent Pete, thanks for sorting out all the apres sail and offering plentiful accomodation. I know that with the whole 'credit crunch' and fuel prices a weekends sailing is getting expensive so it really is appreciated.

(Graham, I am sure that Eddie could grab a few hours kip beforehand if necessary... or maybe we'll just get straight on the voddy redbull after racing?!)

[simon_jones]

we're definately in. Sounds like a lot of fun.

[peter_barton]

Great replies, based on above promises its already looking like the biggest open of the year - but we want to treble that. Come on out of the woodwork for fun weekend, whatever your generation of boat. Prizes for different generations of boats?

Eddie could challenge the winner for the Pool title in the morning, boxing style. He might have a bit of an advantage then!

[phil_kirk]

I hope to be there with which ever boat is ready. must check the callender and make sure that Sarah isn't doing another byte event. I doubt E-numbers would be let out without her.

I need to get some sails sorted for E-numbers.

Getting very close to mast up but away for the next 5 days doing the RORC St malo race.

I sketched out the trolley design last night. So now to order the materials

[ross_burkin]

I'll make sure i'm there!

[Will_Lee]

I could well be in Norway for work.

[lucy_lee]

So sorry Pete: it is getting perilous close to scary exam time, I made a deal with Wil that we'd do one day a weekend at Whitstable over the summer, the Nationals, Carnac and NOTHING ELSE!

I feel rather bad.

[Ratface]

the blonde will be there, just hope for a good breeze and it not being wind against tide!

so therefore can i pinch some floorspace off you Pete?

[dave_ching]

Shiny will be there!
I am boring but can we keep to w/l
Or we could do some long distance race if the conditions are good.
Nowhere better for a little surfing than the needles.
We have to be there, we can't let super crue Eddie and the old man beat us three times in a row.
Good luck to all for the Nationals.

6' x 2' floorspace booked James
