Burton week 2008

16th - 23rd August, Teignmouth

 
Burton Week 2008 will be held at Teign Corinthian Yacht Club http://www.tcyc.org.uk/
from 16 to 23 August 2008. Enter early as entries are constrained to 55 boats.

The format of Burton Week is different from 2007.

The objective of the revised format is to make the event more popular.  I am sure it will be!  Existing devotees of the week will be pleased that we have retained the six day format; those determined to enjoy some holiday away from the sailing will find the later starts popular; those wanting to learn more will enjoy the Coaching.  WATCH OUT FOR THE 55 BOAT ENTRY LIMIT!!! 

Notably;

• There will be 10 races over 6 days

• Races will (apart from the Burton Cup) last for 60 minutes

• There will be no more than 2 races a day – only one on Burton Cup Day

• There will be no practice race, instead a Coaching afternoon on the starting Saturday

• There will be further Coaching Seminars during the week

• Normal daily start time will be 13:30

• We will introduce prizes within the fleet for ‘Gold, Silver & Bronze’ fleets
  
  

We are launching directly into the sea from the Southern end of the Promenade towards the harbour entrance.  The sailing club is to the North of the Pier.  Do not get confused by the fact that TCYC have a dinghy base up the River Teign.  We are not sailing from there.
