Title: Hykeham 1 and 2 July
Post by: martin 1262 on 22 May 2017, 09:24
Message below from Sam Mason who is the main organiser at Hykeham.


Event is a twin event with Cvrda, so a weekend of old boats and probably even older helms but does not have to be the case!


Plan is for the 12s to join in, we can make it a vintage event but it would not preclude 4  planks and ac boats built before 1985. 


Details below any indication of numbers will help planning and catering welcomed


Should be an interesting event and a departure from the norm


Thanks




Martin.


Hykeham sail on a large disused gravel pit (100+ acres) just south of Lincoln. Road access is easy via the A1 and A46. Onsite camping is available and the water is a nice shade of blue and weed free.[/size]Can I get a rough idea of who would like to come and what sort of format we want? I would suggest 3 races on the Saturday starting about 1130 followed by 2 races Sunday 1100 start so people can get away at a reasonable time.There is a pub about 1/2 mile from the clubhouse where the RS300s go at feeding time or we could do a BBQ at the club. Kitchen and bar facilities will be available all day both days and the bar could be open for early arrivals on Friday eveningAs Sherlock Holmes said " Give us a clue"Sam

Is there any interest in the event there are a few cvrda going but this is on the vintage calander so would be good to see either some vintage boats or 4 plank or pre 1985 boats there


Thanks
