Dear National 12 sailor
Welcome to the Gill National 12 series 2007. Whether you are an occasional
sailor or a seasoned open meeting competitor, we hope you will be able to take
part at least one of the events planned this year, you may be sure of an
enthusiastic welcome whatever your sailing ability. Included in this pack are
details of the events scheduled prior to Burton Week. Full details for the final
three events will be circulated later.
The format of the series has changed slightly this year with eight events
scheduled but still only four to count. This is in response to the problems some
people faced last year when they were forced to decide whether to sail their
vintage or double bottomed boat at the 70th anniversary meeting.
Also in response to popular demand, the final three events will be one day
events but two of these will have another local associated event available on
the non-series day for those who wish to make a weekend of it.
The series has already kicked off at Bristol Corinthian and soon continues with
Trent Valley, back by popular demand. Next is a venue new to the series, West
Riding SC who are very much looking forward to hosting us as part of their bank
holiday regatta. This is followed a few weeks later by a return visit to Royal
Harwich where last year’s successful joint event with the Larks and Fireflies is
being repeated. Then we have what we hope will become a popular annual event a
SUMMER CELEBRATION at Ripon SC. There will be special categories for vintage and
4-plank boats, as well as the usual Admiral’s Cup and Double Bottom sections.
This promises to be a particularly special event, so if you cannot do any
others, please make the effort to attend this one.
Final details will be published on the web-site near the date of each event and
also circulated to everyone on the Gill series email circulation list (if you
are not yet on this but would like to be, please send your email address to
kevin.iles at yahoo.co.uk and you will
be included for future circulations).
