The second event in this year's Gill series takes place at Salcombe from 1 - 3 May 2010. First race starts at 13.50 on Saturday, with 3 further races on Sunday and Monday.
The notice of race, SIs and entry form should all be available on our home page v soon (and from the SYC website). Entry fee is £18.50, with harbour dues and boat parking waived for the weekend.
Evening meals are available on Saturday evening (Pies) and Sunday evening (Carvery). Both the harbour master and John Murrell would love to know if you're planning on going, so a post here (or an entry form directly to John) would be fantastic, preferably letting him know how many people would like to eat at the Yacht Club each evening.
If you need to find accommodation, try giving Salcombe Holiday Homes or Coast & Country Cottages a call - don't forget it's still low season in Salcombe.
I'm really looking forward to it, John has promised it's going to be sunny and windy - I've already packed my sun cream and shorts(!).
Any questions, just ask......
Back to top - the Harbour Master and John would really appreciate an idea of who's coming....
unfortunately we are not able toake it this year :-(
I do know that Nigel and Chris White are going if that helps.
Jo and I are coming - Char I assume you'll be there with Jonno, and Tom? And there are four or five local boats

does anyone need a crew or helm?
really want to get down to this event,
also has anyone got some spare floorspace?
cheers
We'll be there.
Chris and Sophie N3513
Jo and myself will be there, could be interesting 1st open for years
I really do think that the weather gods are going to have to do better than the forecast 25mph northerlies and max 6deg to tempt me out of Batson creek on Sunday!

SYC have thought of that and Saturday night is pie night. You can’t have too many pies when it’s blowing 25 down the harbour.

3, 0, 4, 1 ,3, 1 should do it. If John’s got a hangover we could do that bit up the creek with no water just the other side of the bag (6?), that’ll be a giggle for those who can’t lift their rudder.
Mike,
Count yourself lucky, the forecast is even worse for those of us on the beach than for the sailing. If it is really breezy the only sensible thing is to keep the boats between 1 & 3 so we can all watch and laugh.
See you all tomorrow,
Antony
I was thinking of using the X mark as a gybe mark off the Club - it keeps the members entertained!
It certainly had entertaining moments.... results here:

As usual for Salcombe there was a good breeze and virtually no rain. I spent Saturday pm and Monday am on the beach (i admit it was a bit chilly).
