Will be there on the Sunday (wedding'ed out for day 1)

The race officer is keen to know if we will be happy sharing the windward and leward mark with the Ospreys, they will be tri/sausage. It's that or lay a further mark at each end of the course. I'm happy to share, any violent objections?

We'll be at this one, I have all the appropriate permission slips and everything. I have no objection to share with the Ospreys, if they buy me a beer, its not asif they're big and heavy or run dead downwind is it ?

Thanks for the space offer Simon, but just so I know and I am sure others will ask... whats the tent situ like there ?

Loco and Born Slippy are currently filling the boatpark.

So far I'm guessing the roll call as:

Born Slippy (Sunday only)
Loco
Antidotre
Riot Van
Dan's boat
<Shiny Beast (aiming for 2 event wins in a row)>
?Ross

I'm guessing I've missed a couple.

Shiny will be there!
We are coming up on Friday night.
Will there be room for a tent at the club or can we have a place to lay our heads?
We will be leaving Bournemouth at 6PM, I am not sure how long it will take us.

It was a great event with some very close racing.
A lovely club with good sailing close to London.
It is a shame with so many boats in the local area that we can't get a better turn out.
Still it does add support to the idea that Nationals should be spread around England, Scotland and Wales.
After all if we don't get many boats in the densist Cheruby area in the country it suggests locality does not improve turn out.
Though I doubt Largo will get a better turn out for there event a weekend drive is a lot harder to manage than the same drive for a nationals.

I don't know why, but it always seems v difficult to get Cherubs to turn out to an event from the Thames Estuary northwards on the East coast of the UK...

I think the turnout is equal to the best we've had this year. Also historically it is a goodly number. The racing was close enough anyway!
