Apologies for the late link, but in two weeks time (Saturday 19th March) the first of the 2016 GUL series- the Burghfield SC Sprint Championships takes place. As last year this is a fast and fun start to the season with as many one lap races as possible being squeezed into the day. Similar to last year again, it will be run in conjunction with the OK's so with two fleets on the water it should be a fun filled event.

significant savings can be made on the entry fee by pre-registration (which does not require payment until the day) Entry without pre-registration £22 and with £17. This includes the £1 donation to the GUL overall prizes for 2016.

For more information please click the link below which will take you to BSC website and follow instructions for registration.

Look forward to seeing you there.

James,
we are generally down on Sundays rather than Saturdays if you can make it, feel free to drop me an e-mail and we'll swap telephone numbers.
There are contact details on the club website about joining- www.burghfieldsailing.org (under the information button) be great to have another twelve on the water.

Below is a link to the results so far. Sailing of the Burton Cup today has been postponed due to extreme weather conditions at the club. The Cup will be raced for in the morning.

Having been following the earlier thread regarding the future of the 12 and having already started discussion about what we could do to make the class more attractive to potential new owners in our last committee meeting, we agreed to ask 12 owners and interested parties alike what changes we could make to the rules to make the class more attractive and widen its appeal.
 
With that in mind I would like to encourage as many people as possible  to post ideas and thoughts which they would like included in the debate on this thread, bearing in mind the current National 12 Class Rules. What do you think would make the class more appealing to potential owners and existing owners alike?  Different sail plan/ measurement rules; redefine hull measurement rules/weight etc?
Whilst I understand the frustration of looking back on the 'glory years' of 12 development and sailing, the reality is that few people have time to build themselves in the modern world and so I think it is important as a development class that we look for ways to move forward not backwards. Also bear in mind we are in a competitive and shrinking market.
 
Should be pointed out that there is currently a plywood interpretation  of a DCB currently in build not a million miles away from where I sail.
 
For info, we are currently addressing the issue of a recommended handicap for non foiling DB boats.

Superb day for the first of the 2014 GUL series, sun, ever increasing wind, great turn out of boats across all fleets and big smiles all round whilst eating tea at the end of the day! Thanks to all who made the effort to get there, from some serious distances in some cases, brilliant stat to the season, report will be on the site soon but in the meantime thanks to sportography.tv for the great pic below.

Is that an AC leading a DB and a DCB, why I believe it is! Some very good racing was had!

how she has looked for the last 18 months or so... half done project, vintage re-build (2431) has put this on ice!
