Dear National 12 sailor
Welcome to the Gill National 12 series 2011. Whether you are an occasional
sailor or a seasoned open meeting competitor, we hope you will be able to take
part in 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 2010. There are eight events scheduled
with only four to count.
The summer event this year is combined with a celebration of the 75th Anniversary
of the National 12 class at Northampton over the
second May bank holiday. There will be a grand pursuit race and special categories for vintage and
4-plank boats, as well as the usual Admiral’s Cup and Double Bottom sections.
There will also be a 75th Anniversary dinner with many famous names from the
history of the class attending. This event promises to be particularly special, 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.
