Byte Open Meeting at Combs Sailing Club - Preview

by John Saunders 13 Jul 2014 18:26 BST 19-20 July 2014

Beg, borrow or steal a Byte for next weekend and race against the beautiful backdrop of the Derbyshire Peak District. Not only scenery but fierce competition, training and hospitality.

Combs is the home club of Louis Saunders and Rick Whitehouse, both Byte multiple National and Inland Champions.

This two day event begins with training by Rick and Louis on Saturday morning followed by racing on both days. Catering is exceptional and campers can be accommodated at the club.

This event is also a good warm up for the forthcoming Nationals at Calshot as part of the SailJuice Series.

Remember the Byte C2 is the boat for light-ish helms not just youth. Even though Byte C2 is the boat chosen for the Youth Olympic Games many helms are considerably more mature.

Regulars and newcomers very welcome.
