The later entry fee kicked in and there are 168 registered and 127 paid up... anyone know what the largest ever 2 person dinghy nationals has been?

The 200's just hit 150 entries (not all paid up). Pretty impressive with a month to go.

The Blaze Nats were at Stone this year, great club, lovely people and very well organised event. We had 43 boats and onsite camping was pretty much full as far as I could see. The boat park was busy too, I suspect it would be pretty crowded with 70+ boats.
Great event, I would go again. We got 8 races over three days in good breezes, well over 20 knots at times but that was manageable for a 69 year old back of the fleet club sailor. One race a day would not work for me as I go the these events to sail not to see the sighs.

Yep, the new black square top has brought it bang up to date and on occasions, my boat has been mistaken for a new class. 21 boats entered for the RS Games, a healthy number given the high cost of entry. Next year we are back at Stone, should hopefully get a few more boats due to it being more possible to do it on a budget with the onsite camping

The new sail for the 'regular' 600 is now a square top. Actually, it could even have been one of the actual brand-new boats that have recently been built. There's been quite the revival with the 600.

I sailed past Stone at the weekend, plenty of boats out - even saw a guy on an RS600 completely bossing it in a F5, looked like he had a 600FF sail up with the square top... amazing to think that's a 30 year old design now.

Paramedics point about what demographic of the attendees to aim at I think is the most important. You should aim to make the event for the mid to back end of the fleet. Without them there’s only the equivalent of an open meeting. Make it sociable and if at all possible camping/campervans on-site too. I always found the best venue for me was Stone SC. Middle of nowhere, camping on site which meant almost everyone stayed at the club and lots of beer was drunk, etc. many friends made by all which cemented nationals attendance again and again.
