Looking Back At The
Summer of 2017
We've reviewed
the 2017 Gul Series,
but what about the
other summer events
we enjoyed? 12 Fest,
Salcombe Week,
Norfolk Week...
12
Fest
The summer really
kicked off with 12
Fest, what a great
weekend! Over 20
National 12s
descended upon
Rutland Water for
some fairly intense
coaching from Steve
Irish, followed by
some short racing
where we practised a
lot of starting.
We eventually
retired to the
classroom to discuss
what we'd learnt
during the day with
the assistance of
some video footage
from the day - a
short clip is
available here and
well worth watching:

We finally
headed to the local
pub where the N12
sailors dominated
the beer garden well
into the night! On
the Sunday, we had
the opportunity for
some shore based
tuning from the
experts and then
headed back out for
more short racing
and a bit of boat
swapping.
Everyone learnt
something during the
weekend and it would
be fantastic to see
some of the older
National 12s next
year. Details will
be announced soon,
but it really is one
not to miss!
Salcombe
Week
The perfect warm-up
for Burton Week!
Norfolk Week
Perhaps I'm biased
but it was a superb
week. As I wrote in
a previous edition
of LC, a full
write-up will be
available in the
Newsletter!
