The NSCA has two National Solos on the stand this year, a Winder owned by Errol Edwards and a Boatyard at Beer owned by North Sails. The Winder will be sporting a Dynamic mainsail while the Boatyard Solo will, no surprise, sport the latest North Sail. There may be some other sails hoisted through the weekend, dependent on the strength of the bribes.

The NSCA team will include Vice President Doug Latta, owner of Solo 6000, our Hon. Secretary Shaun Welsh, Championship Organiser Steve Ede so please come along and say hello. Some of the guys will be sporting the latest Magic Marine NSCA shirts and there are a few which can be sold to members @£25 so get there quickly!

Andrew Thompson, our Membership Officer/Dinghy Show Organiser will be on the Associations stand at 11.30a.m Saturday to present the NSCA so please go there and give him some rousing support!

Charlie Cumbley, the current National Champion will be on hand on our stand at 12pm Saturday to chat about Solo set up and especially trimming the North Sail so have your notebooks ready.

George Kingsnorth, UK representative of Magic Marine will be on the stand at 2pm both days to award vouchers to our Class Initiative winners. Jake Willars, Brian Fisher, Chris Davies, Adrian Griffin and Ian Hopwood. If any of you can beat the snow then come along and have your picture taken!

We always welcome old friends and new so please do make a visit to the stand and show your support for the Association.
