Just a reminder that someone will shortly win their YC Carnac entry fee for next May. But... you have to have entered and paid your deposit by 1st November. It only takes 5 minutes - simply go to http://smelt.info/enter. We'll draw one lucky winner out of the hat who is then excused their €190 entry so definitely worth taking a chance!

Obviously this is a way off still so for those unsure of their exact plans TBC is an excellent helm or crew, or boat too for that matter, and we can update it later. Also when you enter you'll receive a link to a landing page enabling you to get a discount on ferry travel, it is half term so some are likely to sell out...

If you're not sure what you are letting yourself in for then visit http://smelt.info/ for more details or just ask one of the guys who went last time (http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/176625/National-12s-at-Carnac-2014), but basically it's a long weekend in France, it's half term and bank holiday weekend so fits in with holidays and combines being on holiday with sailing. What's not to like?

Hi all,

This is just a quick plea for some help with Carnac organisation... The bulk of things are coming together and entry should be opening soon, once a pesky little vote is over and we know what is happening with currency strengths etc. In the mean time though there are a few small jobs that I'm trying to share round the fleets if anyone has a bit of spare time over the coming months and would be happy to help? At the moment we're particularly looking for a quizmaster for the Saturday evening, someone to help with event clothing (I've started this but moving house got in the way), overall prizes, sponsorship and looking into the possibility of hosting a silent disco. There might also be chance to help organise a Guinness world record attempt but bear with us on that one, we're still investigating feasibility...

The amount of time involved is up to you, we can always share jobs round to lighten the load if someone doesn't want to do it all by themselves. I have ideas on what we are trying to achieve for each but at the same time if someone wants to do their own thing then more than happy to let them (within reason!).

I deliberately haven't asked people directly for help with these tasks yet as I only know a small portion of each fleet personally and it would be nice to give all sections of each fleet the chance to be involved. Having said that, regardless of how well you know me if you would be able to help please do let me know (e-mail is usually easiest - tomjeffy @ hotmail . com) and we can work out what is needed in a bit more detail.

Thanks,
Tom
