The NOR is now available on the Maidenhead SC website.
There is a link on the front page of www.maidenheadsc.org.uk or direct at:

If anyone wants to arrive on Saturday morning/afternoon then there will be people around as there is some Laser training going on. If you want to drop your boat off on Saturday evening, then you may need to give me a call to arrange access.
For any hardy souls that want to camp overnight, then this is fine but you will have to let me know to arrange a key etc.

Whilst there is no Albacore training organised this year, if you would like to have a practice on Saturday you would be welcome as long as you keep clear of the Laser training.

Let us know if you are planning on coming by replying to this thread so we have an idea of numbers. I think we should be able to get 10 local boats on the water.

Intending to be there, subject to boat being finished, collecting sails from Mike MAc so will def be there even if not sailing. Graham 8208

Sailing 8192 this season, (Nev on the stick) all measured in last week.

How much did he say for 5kgs of lead?

We will be there with Blue Jay - would not miss this one

Albacore Andy

I will be there, weather and crew permitting.
Hopefully no blizzards on the M4 this time.

I'll be there, Saturday tea time. Is the bar open ?

Phil

I'm sorry but I dont think the bar will be open on Saturday night.
Give me a shout when you get there and perhaps we can find a local hostelry.

Phil,

Glad to say I won't be there Saturday tea-time.
You, me and a bar are a bad combination!!

Anyway, boat packed and ready to go.

The weather for the weekend has been booked:
Good winds and a positively balmy 19 degrees

Get the champagne on ice and the suncream out!

Please tell me MSC does not have any sailing clothing stipulations (eg dry/wetsuit) for this time of year?

Wetsuits or drysuits are required between 1st November and End of March.

Local Albacore class rules require shorts between April and October

As always an excellent well run event with more than adequate wind and sunshine as well. Some good close racing throughout the fleet. Congratulations to Nev on his win and his swim! - Did he get your buoyancy signed off?!!
