Hi All

The 300 class are looking at possible future Venues for the next nationals we have a specific wish list as we don’t want to go inland we have a few ideas but they are mostly in the south and we would like some up North/off the south coast.

Are wish List!

Relatively flat water (no huge waves)

easy launching (we don't want any more broken masts)

nearby camping if possible.

Any Ideas??

New Quay in Wales was awesome for the cherub nats last year. Lovely little harbour for launching out of and then an amazing area for racing (my only niggle with the place was that there was bugger all wind when we were there but that could happen most places!)

And your point is???

Saundersfoot in Wales is very good I have heard from those that have been.  My personal favourite is Mounts Bay.

Dalgety Bay is great.

They have camping on site (not sure how much) great parties and good sailing

RS 300s did filey in 2005 and there were some muchus biggus waves on the course and launching and recovering was tricky, only one brokem mast tho.

Tynemouth or South shields good be a goa.  South Shields is easier launching but both are inside the harbour and even in a srong south east swell you can still get out of tynemouth.  As for birds....newcastle???



Edited by tack'ho
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

Why not use Weymouth - the Olympic venue for 2012.
