Mark Rushall's coaching notes
The Sailing Club
Porthpean Sailing Club is an intimate and friendly club near St
Austell in Cornwall. Burton week was last at Porthpean in 2001 where
we received a very warm welcome and an on-the-water pastie delivery
service. The club site is www.porthpeansc.co.uk

Coaching
This year we
will be joined by top coach Mark Rushall who will be spending two days
observing the fleet and giving advice. Mark will be covering the whole
fleet and overall tactics on one day and the other day he’ll be
focussing on the up-and-coming part of the fleet. If you were at
Weymouth in 2004 you’ll remember how insightful Mark’s coaching is.
Sponsors
With this being the 70th year we have got loads of sponsors, here's
some of the stuff you could be getting your hands on:
- Gill goodies to keep you warm and dry
- P&B Vouchers, for all your chandlery needs
- Yachting World had a hand in setting up the class so they have
offered free subscriptions to mark the 70th anniversary
- MarineWare epoxy packs for those emergency repairs
- Snipe Trailers – you could win a brand new shiny combi trailer!
- Muc-Off goodie bags to keep your boat nice and shiny
Socials
As well as the on-the-water stuff the social side of the week is
looking good. Here’s a sneak preview:
- Sunday - There will be the Commodores Reception, which promises
to be fantastic. Last time they rolled out enough pasties to sink
the entire fleet!
- Monday - Beach Games followed by Band / Disco
- Tuesday – The Burton week Dinner
- Wednesday – A BBQ will follow the AGM
- Thursday –Tour of the St Austell Brewery (with samples!) or
river trip
- Friday – The prizegiving
