This 2-boat event is run on the Sunday of the Southampton Boat Show - ie 13th September this year.
A perk is free entry to the Show
Nev and Mark have been in previous years and I hope will go this year. Does anyone within reach of Southampton want to volunteer?

Sorry guys.

Again it clashes with the premier inland open event of the year - the TCSC Annual Regatta!

Unfortunately I am unable to make this event now. Just need one more Alb to make up the two boat team. Its a great event and you even get a free pass to the Boat Show.

That's a shame Nev, come on somebody must be around, although have to say, having entered have had no info re launching, start times etc, so may be a non event anyway, if anyone has any more info please let me know

Hi Graham

There are some details on the event site at:
events.sailracer.org/eventsites/noticeboard.asp?eventid=201551

Last year's docs may be of use too.
events.sailracer.org/eventsites/noticeboard.asp?eventid=196001

Launching is from SWAC (Southampton Water Activities Centre ) and then you sail around the corner to a course near the boat show.
Allow 40mins - 1 hour to sail around depending on conditions.

They usually arrange a rib to take competitors to the show for the prize giving after the event.
