Dear National 12 sailor
Welcome to the Gill National 12 series 2008. 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.
The format of the series is similar to 2007. There are eight events
scheduled with only four to count. Again the final three events will be one day
events but Ripon and Northampton have another event available on
the non-series day for those who wish to make a weekend of it.
The summer event this year is at Hykeham SC in Lincoln. There will be special categories for vintage and
4-plank boats, as well as the usual Admiral’s Cup and Double Bottom sections.
As ever the summer event promises to be particularly special, so if you cannot do any
others, please make the effort to attend this one.
There is coaching planned on the Saturday prior to the Bristol event and
there will be coaching running in parallel with the racing at the summer event.
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.
