Come along to Salcombe! Open meeting on 18th & 19th Oct. Salcombe yacht club has promised 2 days of racing, a meal in the chart room on Sat eve, musical entertianiment and the popular pasties on the beach. The Harris clan and Ballantine senior duo have been tempted back on the water in their 12s. This year we have neap tides with high for afternoon racing so the full estuary will be available.. Kerry is keen to meet up with N12 sailor Enri the French chap at Burton lastyear as Kerry now has a paris posting, plus a foiling rudder that had him overtake a Merlin with spinnaker today.
The event comes hot on the heels of a successful sunny regatta, in which the Meadowcrofts and Thorntons battled it out at the front of the fleet , with a close call of the Thorntons winning. The rest of the fleet was always shifting position dramatically , with Mike Hoyle eventually taking 3rd overall but new boy on the block Ben Baker has coined the phrase 'Baked off' as he and Tilly kept doing things that should n't work and shaking up the whole fleet ( literally) . Lots of fun, Indecison , Para docs and strictly Pc juggling places daily and the Rew crew improving to worry the fleet.
Come and join us for more fun in Ocotber.

I am planning to be there with Lola, N3537. Any offers / suggestions for the most important member of the team would be most welcome - 07747795443 / [mail=mike.j.r.hoyle@googlemail.com]mike.j.r.hoyle@googlemail.com[/mail]
Hi All at SYC are looking forward to welcoming you. I believe the Saturday racing starts at 1.50 (it does every week so don't think it will be different) but will get it on the SYC website asp and confirm on N12 website. The Sunday is usually 2 races one in the morning, pasties on the beach and then an afternoon race. It takes a little while to sail out of Batson to the start line, say 20 mins. If you get to the start early you can always pull up on small 's cove . We have our boat at Batson now also. On the Saturday evening there is a meal laid on for us £15 pp with a singer Becky Brine to entertain us (families welcome sure ther is a lesser cost for under 12's) Rosie L is available to crew on the Saturday but not Sunday. Let us know if you need her to crew. If you can indicate by reply how many would like the Saturday eve meal and Sunday pasties it would help with the food orders.
All the best
Helen

Thank you for coming , wow what a windy weekend ( again!). Fantastic close racing , some spectacular capsizes, the Days actualy took off on the start line! Well done John & Ollie Meadowcroft who were the winners, Mike Hoyle and Katie Meadowcroft 2nd ,Chris and Sophie Day 3rd and Lloyds first local boat or endurance award? as the only local boat to complete all 3 races. Kerry's big foil flew, Charlie's newly constructed foil not only survived but made the runs faster and more stable, thanks to Simon for aid with the construction. Indecision calmly looked beautiful as only a well kept vintage (and Freya) can.
Thank you everybody for a lovely birthday , I certanly had a birthday bath!
Hope to see you in the May open
All at Salcombe
