The 2019 National 12 Gul Series kicks off on Saturday the 16th March at Burghfield Sailing Club, near Reading. The event is a sprint series with eight short races which are fast, frantic and fun. In addition to the sprint racing we have a tuning clinic, crews race and lots of cake (for after racing). Also handicaps will be applied allowing older designs to show what they can do.
9:45am Tuning Clinic
10:15am Briefing
11:00am First race
After lunch crews race
After racing - tea and cake

If you need a crew, want a helm or boat post on the National 12 Forum (https://www.national12.org/forum/index.php?topic=13334.0)
the weather is looking cheeky on windguru! 22kts gusting 37kts!
It's still looking gusty tomorrow, but the baseline wind is about 20kts so Burghfield are still happy to run the open meeting. There may be a change of racing format, which will be decided tomorrow morning depending on conditions. And even if it is blowing grannies out of trees, we've got some back-up plans so do come along anyway for a chat, some tuning and rules tips, a surprise building challenge and importantly, CAKE!
