This weekend sees the March Championships taking place at the rapidly growing Lymington Town SC.
So far there are 23 entries from as far afield as Eastbourne and Gosport and with 36 hours until entries close there are sure to be a few more yet. Get yourself entered by midnight on Thursday to avoid disappointment!
See poster below for details of how to get involved.
There is another joint DF / RG event coming up next Sunday the 29th March at the great Bournville Club in Birmingham. You’ll be sure of a warm welcome and a hot cup of tea and the racing is sure to be fun and competitive too.
Details are on the poster below and remember that everything will be an hour earlier than you think it is as the clocks jump forward an hour. No excuses for being late, you have been warned!
Coalhouse Fort MBC hosted a Charity Event in aid of Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust with the aim of raising at least £100.00 on Sunday 15th March 2015.
17 intrepid skippers entered on a day that was overcast with occasional rain and a bitter wind from the NNE. There was no entry fee, but all donations went to the fund and so far over £200.00 pounds have been raised with more promised.

Although it’s Mothers Day on Sunday there is the final event of the ND winter series at West Lancs YC taking place which is, arguably, more important than Mothers Day!
With the usual superb dining arrangements in place and some good afternoon cake available it’s a wonder there is any racing at all, however there should be around 12 races over the course of the day on the great sailing water at the club. Moderate ENE breeze is forecast which will make for some shifty breeze coming over the islands.
If you haven’t yet experienced the terribly hospitable sailing at WLYC you should really make the effort to take a trip over to the club on Sunday. Briefing at 0945, racing from 1000.
There has been a small addition to the Hints and Tips page of the website. It concerns the rear end fitting for the compression strut. It is listed under “rigging mods” and is entitled “Compression Strut Mod 2 – Repair”
Get yourself down to Lymington Town SC for some more great racing, it is a super venue and the racing is keen! click on the poster for more details.

Remember that the 5th round of the DF65 Winter Series at WLYC takes place this Sunday. The forecast is looking pretty breezy with a stiff Westerly blow meaning that you might want to dig out those small rigs and make sure that they are ready for some action!
It might be a good idea to get some charge into those batteries too and maybe bring a spare one.. Just to be sure!!!
Details on the Events page
After a short delay we have now been able to publish the 2015 season events list for the DF65 Class.
There are eight National events that you can take part in as well as a plethora of club events that will also take place throughout the season. If your club would like to turn one of your events into a National event please get in touch as we are looking for an enthusiastic club to hold an event in September sometime. Don’t worry if your club is new to this and hasn’t staged an event like this before, we can offer advice on how to organise such an event. Get in touch if you think you can help!
We have also published a few more results from recent Winter series events that have taken place. Take a look here.
