[grazz]

The Dinghy Shack National series at Royal Harwich might be cancelled but we can still have some fun and go racing! We filled all 20 places at the last virtual regatta so we'll be using the same format running four short races followed by a quiz with a Zoom video conference to keep people connected. We'll we using Zoom Breakout rooms to host virtual quiz teams so you can team up with other households - teams are welcome to join just for the quiz.

   
• 19:00 Briefing
• 19:15 First start
• 20:15 Quiz
• 4 races with 3 to count
• Racing will be in a combination of J/70, F50, Nacra 17 and Offshore racers (disappointingly they still don't have National 12s but the F50 is almost as hard to control as a 12!)

Could we do it in Stars, They are a bit more like 12s in that they don't have those silly extra sails and hulls and thingies?
