The Dinghy Shack National series at Brightlingsea might be cancelled but we can still have some fun and go racing! We'll be holding a virtual open meeting on Saturday 6th June using Virtual Regatta In-shore to run a series of short races and a Zoom video conference to keep people connected . Virtual Regatta in-shore can be played as an Android and iOS app or through the browser. Races are typically under 10 minutes and held in a variety of venues according to the whim of the race officer.
- Briefing at 19:00
- First start at 19:15
- 4 races with 3 to count
- Racing will be in J/70, F50, Nacra 17 and Offshore racers (disappointingly they don't have National 12s but the F50 is almost as hard to control as a 12!)
- Races are limited to 20 boats, we will use a flight system if we exceed 20 boats
- Entry fee: Free
