It's clear down here, hope it does go ahead, it would be nice to see how the
Asbo does with someone who can sail properly at the helm.

Well thats the funniest thing i have vever heard, an hour or so earlier they had posted on Y&Y thatthe tiger happens whatever the weather!!!!  Good thing i paid the £5 extra to have the ability to cancel my hotel room!!  They need to let us know toute sweet though.  I cant see it happening, will they postpone it or refund us our entry fees?  I know part of it is for charity but i am skint at the moment!!

Thanks for putting that up Olly.  I guess with most of us, it's not the sailing that's the worry, it's getting there safely, especially with trailers.

We await the verdict.  The local forecast is for it to go down to -5C early on Saturday morning.  I'm not sure I want to drive on that!

***TIGER TROPHY VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE***
Written by Bruce Bonar   
Thursday, 05 February 2009

In view of the current weather and the deteriorating weather forecast a decision will be made at Midday on Friday 6 February as to whether The Tiger Trophy will take place this weekend.

We have considered all the issues caused by the weather forecast for the weekend. (Issues of people traveling to the event, Issues of safety around the site with ice and snow everywhere and the temperature and snow forecast). The organising team will be meeting on Friday morning and will make a final decision then based on the forecast and advice from road agencies etc.

If the decision is made to cancel the event we will contact all entrants by e mail and post the info on this website and the Tiger Trophy website. We would urge you to check this website or the Tiger Trophy website www.tiger-trophy.com  for more information.

Alternatively you can contact the club office on 01780 720292 from midday on Fri 6 Feb.

hooking up the new toy if the snow doesn't bugger off!

Might want to take the mast down before towing

Its because of the weather really.. I haven't sailed it since June apart from the other weekend, so bit wary about taking it out in 20 knots.. So would rather not sail the 49er! Maybe it would be alright.. I dunno but with 200 other boats about it wouldn't be great not getting it right!
