Another splendid day up north in Fleetwood on Saturday with 28 entrants including at least 4 DF65 newcomers. A mix of wind and weather made for an interesting day’s sailing with 13 races completed.

There is a report on the results page.

Don’t forget that there is a second DF65 event up at Fleetwood on the 22nd, tomorrow. There are quite a few entries from all over the country, including Brighton, Wales, Yorkshire and possibly even a visitor from Scotland and a new DF fleet skipper,truly a UK wide event!  If you haven’t yet entered but fancy joining in pop along to the Fleetwood club for a 10am start and get involved.  There will be plenty of help and encouragement for those of you who are new to the fleet.  The racing promises to be good and the banter will be likewise!

Results for the recent Eastbourne and West Lancs events have been posted on the results page.

A bit late to the party but for all those of you in the Midlands and the North there is an event at the very good West Lancs YC on Sunday the 16th of August. It is being sailed with the RC Laser fleet so it will do your close quarters sailing skills a great deal of good, during the winter series there were sometimes 30 boats on the water.

More details on the Events page.

If you are based in the South remember that there is the open event at Eastbourne on the same date, the closing date for entries is the 12th August so if you are umming and ahhing about it youve not got long left!

Notice of race and entry details on the Events page.

We’ve had a bit of confusion lately about how and where you go to register your boat, the form is still on the Class Documents page where it always has been, however to make it really simple we have added the link to the main menu above. Click the link, complete the form, click submit, get your number!

Don’t be alarmed if you experience a short delay in being issued with a number, it won’t be more than a couple of days and remember we all do this as volunteers whilst running businesses, going sailing, looking after families etc.

Thanks.
