Come and join us for the Stokes Bay Gul Series Open on the 24 September! We have three 12s at the club, (or four if I count both of Nick's boats) and I'm working to drag some lapsed local 12 sailors back on the water for this event.

Start time will be 12:00, up to four races back-to-back will be held. The official NOR can be found on the National 12 website www.national12.org

Stokes Bay is on the Eastern Solent near Gosport, easy access to a great race area, with excellent views of racing and the Isle of Wight from the clubhouse. We have a very experienced and capable race team having run several class championships and major opens.

Camping in the dinghy park is available, or plenty of local accommodation for those who need it. See www.stokesbay-sc.co.uk or www.facebook.com/pages/Stokes-Bay-Sailing-Club.

In addition to the open meeting, visitors are invited to stay to join club racing on Sunday 25th, dependent on numbers we may have a separate start and course. For those race results we propose to award separate prize(s) based on NTOA handicaps for AC / DB / Foilers.

There is an additional day fee of £10 per boat for club racing, but for the first five visitors to confirm that will be paid by a mystery sponsor!
