THE LONG AWAITED NATIONAL 12 YOUNG PEOPLES SERIES

Wow Foxi, you're not short on options If you were inclined to put a team together for the Wilson ! ...Options of possible backing from OMSC, BUSC and 12s?

On the other hand May is a bad time in the acedemic year.
OMSC would be a terrific location for a training event.

Ye May isnt great. I'm a medical student and the 4 weeks of exams don't look nice! I'll certainly look into it tho.

I have sailed at the Wilson and teams don't strictly speaking need to be affiliated with a club. There are Firefly class association teams as well as the best BUSA helms in a team. If the twelves were thinking of hosting a team racing event it might be sensible to host it at the most prestigous team racing club int the country where there is also a substantial 12 fleet and that is Spinnaker. Half the club are team racers or umpires and Phil and Simon are doing wonders with the 12 fleet. Why not try a a saturday of random pairs team racing, so there's no effort in getting a team of three together and then have the open on the sunday, this is how the firefly's do it at spinnaker.

Sounds like a good idea. If any young people want to sail in the series but don't have a boat, I am more than happy to lend mine (3445), as I only usually sail on a Thursday. The only catch is that you would have to be able to collect it and deliver it back to Nottingham. Just reply to this blog.
