<h2>"The sail plan is the same as he used for Bouncer, 65% main and 25% jib" </h2>
so wheres the other 10%?
but other than that all exciting new ideas
hope to see it out on the water as well as have a go!

il be there in the front of bart, as will caroline doing the steering bit.

would anyone be kind enough to lend me a boat for the inlands this weekend?
i hopefully have a crew lined up and would be really good to be able to compete at this event especially as we have a good ammount of young people comeing!
cheers

Calling all Class Associations, the deadline is fast approaching for
the Y&Y Racing Classes Review 2008-9. To promote your class in our
popular yearbook please contact James@YachtsandYachting.com before Friday 17th October.

I have been doing a bit of rs200 sailing this year. I know I’m sorry.

But looking at their youth side etc its great to see how they encourage are
and how much emphasis is given to the youth and youth events.

In order to get more young people in the class, I have a few ideas,

For instance have a more publicised youth champs, maybe a weekend event? If
people were will be kind enough to lend their boats to people from other
classes to come to the champs, obviously we wouldn’t lend boats out to anyone,
would be trustworthy people who are good sailors. 12's are great boats to sail
and we need to let people in other classes know this, I’m sure we can find 10
helms and crew from other fleets easily and probably 5 from within the n12
fleet. 15 boats for a weekend open is pretty good, and if this were to be the
youth champs this would be a fantastic thing for the class to be doing. Especially
if well publicised.

I also think we could have some more focus on the social side, maybe have a
social committee made up of different age groups of people, and helms and
crews. This should be separate from the main committee so as people who don’t
own boats can be on the social comitie too. But maybe a rep from the committee
could report social news to the main committee.

Sorry if I’m sticking my nose in where it isn’t wanted I just thought a few
ideas would be nice

Hope to get some feedback and if anyone has any ideas please air them.
Really want to hear what people think

boing
anyone ?

for the record it was tim laws and sam childs (me) sailing the boat,

yeah cheers jeremy that was what i was trying to say, must proof read before i post

im sure as we all want to pass our  exams we will be working and revising.

to have burton week over exam and revision time is a really bad idea,it is infact not half term that week for most of the country, and uni students dont have  a half term. completly excluding young people from the champs like this will not help the class in any way, there are a lot of classes out there that we can compete in the whole years events.  we are already struggling to get young people into the class (as one of them) i doubt il be able to make burton week next year either!i do think more thought should have gone into this and the whole class should of been consulted not just the comittee.

boing!!!

also worth giving hartley laminates a try, http://www.hartleylaminates.co.uk/ i know theyve done a lot of work on the cherubs
