Title: Steve Nicholson Memorial Race
Post by: Jane Wade on 30 Nov 2009, 07:45
Dear All
Another opportunity to show off in the N12 (other than Bloody Mary, Grafham Grand Prix, Battle of the Classes etc) is at Northampton Sailing Club on Saturday 30th January at the Steve Nicholson Memorial Race.  Two races with a break for lunch in between and a chance to watch another fleet over a pasty.
All proceeds from the event go to Asthma Research and usually raises around the £2k mark.
Please come along and support - you are guaranteed to be sailing against other 12s.

Back to the top for this one - I'll be there, albeit in my winged beastie. Would be good to see some 12's on the water!

I'm available on that date if anyone is in need of a crew. Had plenty of experience in the front of a 12 and have been to many open meetings. Have battled all types of weather, worst being sailing with Graham Camm at Grafham Water in October, that was wild! Any replies would be appreciated.

I think we're going to be there in Crouching tigger, what time does it start and do we need to enter in advance?

Andy, have to agree it is extraordinarily difficult to find anything about this event, neither the NSC nor P&B web-sites have anything obvious on them. However, I understand the first race start is at 11.00. It has never been necessary to enter in advance in the past. Despite the apparent lack of promotion, this is a popular event so the advice is to get there early to secure a parking space near the clubhouse.
 
See you on the 30th.

Congratulations to Northampton  and especially Tom and Charlotte for a great days sailing superbly organised with extremely good value food.
Amazed to see how so many boats were able to get in and out of the club with such ease.
I understand that over £3000 was raised so well done to all who helped.  
Looking forward to Burghfield.

Northampton did a great job, good sailing, well run both on and off the water and a good turn out of Twelves, well done to all involved.

There is now some N12 footage of the Steve Nicholson Memorial Race on Youtube

Hopefully this link will work! If not just search on N12 films uploaded in the last week.
