The Grafham Cat Open is 25/26 October 2014. As time goes by we are trying to get back to the event being open to all catamarans.  This year it was only the Fast Double handed cats and the F18s that were not invited. The Spitfires and Fast Singlehanders came.
The 2014 position has yet to be finalized.

Another thought.
 
All catamarans are welcome to the Grafham Grand Prix which this year falls on the 29 December 2013.
 
This event is part of the Sailjuice Winter Series which keeps getting bigger and bigger (see the link below)

Not many of the events include cats but the events at Grafham and Draycote  include catamarans.

Hi
I'm happy to report that it has now been agreed that in 2014 the Grafham Cat Open on 25/26 October will return to being a complete Cat Open open to all classes up to and including the Tornado so F18s, Hurricanes, Tornados, etc are all included.
We would be grateful for classes to include it in their traveller series.
Cheers
Bob

For the really keen Winter Sailors there are other events you can compete in through the Winter.
There are 3 of the GJW Direct SailJuice Winter Series 2014/2015 that you can take part in as follows:
Draycote Dash 22/23 November
Datchet Flyer 13/14 December
Grafham Grand Prix 28 December
This winter series is becoming very popular but catamarans can only compete in 3 of the 8 events. It is not quite enough to qualify for the overall series prizes as you need 4 events to qualify but never mind it is a chance to burn off the calories. :D
Here is the link

I should have said that some of the events like Draycote are just open to smaller popular cats (like Dart 18, Sprint 15) but the Grafham Grand Prix is open to all cats.
Cheers
Bob
