The HISC fleet, as Andrew says, is building and super competitive - we will have 11 boats by the end of the month, with the promise of a 12th (2 very good ex FF sailors, who will share)by the start of the season. As appears to be the Hayling way, we are in complete hibernation - our season starts after the dinghy show on the 11th.
For 2012 we will sail in a "medium Assymetric" fleet covering evering from 200s to 29ers. 1 race sat pm and 2 races Sundays, mainly w/l. should be a big improvement over sailing with FF's, Merlins etc, or during the autumn we sailed with the fast Assymmetric when we ended up with some long races.
I know some are planning the Nationals and some opens - ok, back to the gym!

Hi guys,
The Parkstone fleet are currently taking a winter break but will be coming out of hibernation towards the end of Feb. so I thought I'd just add in a bit of publicity for us  Wink

I am sure that Garda will be every bit as nice as Como. I think from speaking to everyone that was at L'Estartit they would be going to Garda and taking the family, as there is quite a lot of things that they can do there while we are having a great time blasting around having lots of fun.

As Andrew says we now have a pretty big fleet at HISC into double figures and more arriving in spring. Nick P and Mike Mac have been sailing hard all winter with the rest of us planning to start again in spring. If anyone is keen to join us for a weekend then give me a shout!

All plans for the rest of the year are fluid due to our continued inability to buy a house but I'm certainly planning on doing holland. Garda is looking less likely though I'm doing my level best to convince my other half that it will be at least as nice as como (do we know if they have endless supplies of pizza at the clubhouse? And will the staff be up to Sam's standards?).

I'll be doing the Weston winter series from next week in a desperate attempt to get into shape for the new Hayling season. If anyone's within range of HISC and fancies racing against numerous national, European and even Olympic champions (an that's just the 100 fleet!) then you're very welcome to join us!

I'm sticking with the black and white - just looks so original and distinctive on the water even if were all the same !

Great fleet now growing in South Devon.

Who's up for the Euro Tour ? Holland and Como were awesome last year.

See you soon.

So go, who's getting a new coloured spinnaker? Blue or pink stripe now available.

Oh, and I've already got a blue one so the rest of you are going to have to pick another colour...

Now it is the start of 2012 I guess a little info update on the RS100 is due...

2011 was a great success with very well supported open meetings, averaging about 20 boats at most events and a nationals of 47 boats. 
I am sure that in 2012 we will surpass this number with a great open meeting calendar released. (For the full calendar see - http://www.rs-association.com/index.asp?fleet=RS100&selection=events)

We will again be holding events in Europe with an event in Holland on the 12-13th. Everyone that went will recognise how good the event was and how good it was to share with the Dutch 500 sailors, we will be doing this again this yr and plans are afoot to make it even better than last yr.
We will also be joining the rest of the RS fleets, sailing our European championships at Lake Garda between 16-19th June. As one of the biggest European events and something the RS100 class have been calling for this is surely going to be an excellent event!

The nationals are at Paignton on the Queen's birthday weekend of 2-5 July with a training day prior for those keen to hone their skills on the battleground.

Numbers are still growing with boats flying all over the UK and across the world. Sail numbers are nearly at 400 (388 is going out next week!)
