The Dinghy Shack National series at Brightlingsea might be cancelled but we can still have some fun and go racing! We'll be holding a virtual open meeting on Saturday 6th June using Virtual Regatta In-shore to run a series of short races and a Zoom video conference to keep people connected . Virtual Regatta in-shore can be played as an Android and iOS app or through the browser. Races are typically under 10 minutes and held in a variety of venues according to the whim of the race officer.


       
  • Briefing at 19:00
  • First start at 19:15   
  • 4 races with 3 to count
  • Racing will be in J/70, F50, Nacra 17 and Offshore racers (disappointingly they don't have National 12s but the F50 is almost as hard to control as a 12!)
  • Races are limited to 20 boats, we will use a flight system if we exceed 20 boats
  • Entry fee: Free
Install Zoom https://zoom.us/download
Install  either the iOS or Android app ahead of the event (https://www.virtualregatta.com/en/games/)
Play using the website https://www.virtualregatta.com/en/inshore-game/

Racing will be followed by a short pub-style quiz.

Spaces are limited so please register by replying to webmaster@national12.org. We'll send you the codes to join the Zoom call and VR inshore races nearer the time

Come and join the fun.
