2018 Open Meeting 4 - Grafham Water SC 23/24 June

[andy_peters]

This is the first time we have been to Grafham for an event in at least 10 years so I hope for a big turn out.  It is a shared asymetric event but classes with 8 or more entries get their own start - so let us aim for that.

NOR is at http://grafham.org/wp-content/uploads/_pdfs/Open%20Meetings/Asymmetric-Open-2018-NoR.pdf

Note the following:

Eligible boats may enter by completing the online entry process at http://www.grafham.org/sailing-racing/open-meetings-3/forthcoming-open-meetings.html and paying the appropriate fee by 1600hrs on Thursday 21st June 2018.

I may need to borrow a boat for this event. I have hotel booked jsut need to find a ride.

[andy_peters]

Don't you have a boat?  Have you broken GB?

[JayW]

Trying to enter, but the link doesn't seem to be working.

Re GB (and Chilly) - suggest that it may be helpful to have an event guideline that there needs to be 2m depth across the whole course area, and correspondingly more in wavy conditions to allow for troughs, and if this is not possible that the obstacle or shallow area must be marked and designated as an exclusion zone.
Running aground with kite up (and daggerboard down of course) is not a good idea!

[andy_peters]

Works for me - but no on-line entry available yet.

[scorpion_1925]
