RHYC Gul Series - 14/15 July

[3513SL]

Hi All,


Just to let you know entry is now available on the RHYC website for the 12 Gul Series Open on 14/15 July. Unfortunately Merlin Week ends on the day before but I'm reliably informed that most are going to make the journey from Salcombe to Woolverstone in time for the 11 am start on Saturday!

There will be a few other classes joining us but we will have our own start.


As usual camping at the club is free, ok to arrive on Friday evening too. If you want a boat or crew let me know and I can try to arrange that.


Who is planning to come along? Hopefully the weather will stick around for the next two weeks and we'll get a sea breeze for the racing!

I am coming, provided you find me a crew George. Not sure which boat yet, mr Bill if I can get her ready in time. Probably arriving early Saturday morning after driving down overnight. Planning to watch a T20 game at Durham on the way down!

Bacon rolls will be available both days, we have some live music on Saturday evening plus a number of 'sailor's suppers' alongside the normal galley menu. Weather looking warm, so we'll be able to watch the sun go down over the river in the evening.



Racing will be finished well before the 1600 kick off for the World Cup on Sunday.


Please enter before 1200 on Friday to benefit from the £4 early entry saving - buy a beer with that instead!


Looking forward to seeing the biggest fleet we've seen for an open in the past few years a team RHYC!


Any questions just ask - yes Angus, I have found you a crew.

We successfully streamed the World Cup Semi-Final tonight in the club and will do the same after racing on Sunday if enough sailors are interested.


Don't be put off by the light forecast - with the heat we've had recently we should get a sea breeze, it filled in at 11am last Sunday.


Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

Thanks to all 23 boats that turned up (well 22 that sailed plus Gerald's Foolish.....) for a fantastic weekend. Y&Y report to follow, but for now here is a link to a gallery of photos taken by local professional photographer Pavel Kricka:
