The reason the divide is the way it is is the course. The boats on course A want an upwind- downwind course. The boats on course B mostly have no kites and want round the cans courses.

I've just been told that the new catering team will be able to provide Fish and Chips via their mobile van until 7pm on Friday night for those that are planning to come up before hand.  I'm planning to be there to see if I can remember how to sail!!!

looking forward to our annual trip Smile
not worried by killer shrimp but what is the goose poo situation this year?
 
have you found the pre-entering has reduced numbers?
dont know of any event other than nationals where this is required.
 
I see if no racing is held, only half the entry fee is refunded Ouch
is that not a bit harsh?  what costs would have been incurred to warrant this?
 
Hopefully all the races will be run and we will have our usual great time.
