Dear all, we just received this invitatino from the Wilsonian Sailing Club in Kent. Anyone interested? If so please post here. Note the limit is 2 Twelves!


"We have pleasure in inviting your class to send up to two representatives to compete in a new  at Hoo, N. Kent (http://www.wilsoniansc.org.uk) on 1st July. A Notice of Race and an Entry Form for completion by the Class Association and its representatives are attached.
 
The Wilsonian Grand Prix has previously been run as an open handicap event, regularly attracting over 50 entries. This year's event sees the addition of the 2oak event, with 2oak competitors starting five minutes after the massed starts, permitting the earlier starters to act as pathfinders, minimising navigational demands on 2oak entries. The wide open spaces of the Medway mean that overtaking is usually problem-free, and the earlier starters are expected to be sufficiently spaced out by the time the 2oak competitors catch them as to present minimal interference.
 
The leading boat in each class will be counted in determining the 2oak results. In addition, 2oak competitors also qualify for overall and category prizes in the Grand Prix.
 
We already have provisionally a dozen or so classes entered; we hope we can welcome yours too. Please note the deadline on the entry form. In the case of some classes, to ensure we reach the right person we are writing to multiple e-mail addresses - please check with your Association colleagues before sending in an entry!
