At Restronguet we sail on Sundays until Christmas then stop till April due to the terms of our lease.

We do two races back to back with class starts for Lasers Oppies Darts etc and a fast and slow handicap for anyone who doesn't have enough boats to make a class. We lay two courses one windward leeward for assymetrics and a second comprising triangles and sausages for the others.

At Papercourt we race on Sundays only in the winter but organise class training on Saturdays. The training often has more boats on the water than racing on Sundays.
I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it.

Burghfield: Racing on a Sunday only - just like the rest of the year.

Saturdays at Burghfield are set aside, either for Open Meetings (March / April / October) or for the large number of non-racers in the club, who get special sessions and assistance to help them move from "just learning" thru "great fun" to "maybe I will try racing".

Brightlingsea: Racing on a Sunday (handicap only) from end October to end December. The rest of the year has racing on both Saturday (mainly handicap) and Sundays (as much class racing as is possible).

Useful feedback but can you answer the basic question of whether it's racing on 1 day per weekend or 2?

Sorry completely missed that bit off. We only sail 1 day of the weekend and have 2 handicap races each day.

I have been known to cut some moves on the dance floor of joy...

And I am waiting for some lame boat builder for about the third time in
my short career..

I haven't been out in a fortnight but I am on duty next weekend if they're
still racing, I've been away on business a bit lately.

However I do enjoy the break between New Year and clocks going
forward, rarely do much in that 'frostbite' period.

I'm looking for a venue to vacation over the Xmas period, anyone know of
somewhere warm with decent boats to play with?

We have this laying up supper..


Get p1ssed, dance around a bit then wait til the clocks go forward..


Some of them bugger off to local gravel pits like Bewl..

Others spend yet another age waiting for lame boat builders to get their act
together...
