GUL Series Update
The third round of the
2016 Gul Series was at
Royal Harwich Yacht Club
on 21st / 22nd May.
17 sailors came to join
in the fun, with boats
ranging from Tom Lee's
Wooden DCB to Nigel
Waller's Uffa King! All
sailors enjoyed a breezy
Saturday with John
Meadowcroft winning all
three races.
Unfortunately there
wasn't any wind on the
Sunday, although the
club did manage to run a
pursuit race, won by Jon
Brown in his Paradox.
The full report and
results are available
here
Was the RHYC too far
south? Do not fear,
because the Gul Series
heads up north to
Sunderland YC on 9th /
10th July! Hope to see
you all there!

Milton Kenyes SC -
NEW DATE - 12th June
2016
With
the open in it’s
second year we are
hoping more come
along to enjoy some
sailing on
Caldecotte Lake. In
the last year the
fleet has grown in
size with Bosun Bob
adding to fleet by
taking on the
Cheshire Cat Beggars
Maid. There are also
other members who
are making noises
that they are
thinking of jumping
in 12 as a good,
affordable way to
get racing with
their children.
All this means
Soapy and Subversion
from Smilie’s fleet
will be on the water
as well Bob. So why
not come along and
join them? You don’t
even have be a
Midlander since MK
SC is close to the
M1, London, the
Thames, Reading
fleets and all those
in between are more
than welcome!
The plan for the
day is
-
Bacon Butties
for rigging,
followed by
briefing at
10.30 am
-
First race 11
am, with Lunch
at 12ish
-
Second race -
12’s are going
to join the club
pursuit race
with
12’s starting
off on their
era’s handicap.
-
Third race to
follow after a
cup of tea.
The next event in
the HD Sails Midland
Area 4 Plank series
is at Ely SC for the
80th anniversary 12
Open on 2nd July.
Trent Valley
SC - 8th May 2016 -

won this open!
