Sailfest......

It would be a massive shame for this not to be a big event like last years' as I think the concept is superb - a big, relaxed and fun yet competitive event that provides a "festival of dinghy sailing" atmosphere. No sign of the L4000s and Javelins that we were mixing it with in the Alto last year...

I'd like to do Fed Week some time, but it's a week long event, not a Bank Holiday weekend, and this year clashed with the Laser Nats, so no good for the Yoof. How much was the entry, and where was the camping?

Originally posted by kneewrecker It strikes me as a funny time of year, serious travelling dinghy sailors are more likely to be in class regattas, the rest of us tied up with family holidays and work commitments.

Perhaps a good time of year with a bank holiday and being  in 'summer'? After all there was a good attendance last year. Perhaps being an earlier summer bank holiday weekend is also a  reason since this has made it clash with more other events such as nationals and sailing weeks. Will it not be a week later next year.? Calshot does seem to offer a range of other activities for non sailing members of families. Geoff and I, in the AltO, are looking forward to it. Oh, We must enter.!

It felt quite busy last year...120 odd? But I have an idea WPNSA wanted more, hence the move.
