Dear National 12 sailor

Welcome to the Gill National 12 series 2004! Last year was the first time we ran the series and this year we are aiming to build on the success. We will be bringing you more great racing and fun with a series of events which appeal to all sailors in the national 12 fleet whether you are sailing with your family, as a youth team, in an Admirals cup boat (i.e. sailing a non-self draining 12) or a seasoned open meeting sailor.

There will be plenty of entertainment all weekend at each Gill event, including short seminars on the Saturday after sailing followed by a family friendly social and with the series sponsored by Gill there will be fantastic prizes making it well worth putting a weekend on one side for (it will be much more fun than putting up shelves).

The events are organised to make it easy and fun for anyone to join in. This pack contains details of all the events including social and seminar itineraries, along with accommodation and directions to the clubs. So if you haven't sailed your 12 for a while or you are thinking of participating in your first open meeting these events will be ideal.

Nick Gill and I hope you enjoy the Gill events and look forward to seeing you on the water.

Happy N12 sailing
