Vintage Inland Champs 2013

[paul turner]

Greetings All!

I am delighted to report that the N12 VINTAGE WORLD INLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS are to be held at Foremark Reservoir, South Derbyshire, courtesy of Burton Sailing Club on the weekend of 29th/30th June 2013.

Vintage definition = wooden and clinker (not the age of the helm or crew!)

The event details are being worked up at the moment but may well include three Derwent Handicap races on the Saturday, a nostalgic magic lantern show on the Saturday night, concours judging, and three races on the Sunday with separate trophies for clinker and ribbed boats - but any other suggestions are welcome!

To help with planning, please let us know if you intend joining us for this new event on the N12 calendar - and whether you will be sailing, watching or would like to borrow a vintage boat to sail. Please post here or email me direct. Px :K)

Hi Paul, I will endeavour to come but you have picked rather a bad weekend for me as Scottish school holidays start around that time, It is also dependant on Reflection staying together for more than 20 minutes at a time! I don't think my new boat would be welcomed.

I am at present restoring 2208 it has been a long haul! and hope to have her up and running (floating) with the 2013 championships as target to aim for would you please pencil my name in (probably as support act) for the weekend at the same time hopefully picking up some tips for 12 sailing.Chris:o

Hi Simon Assuming that you  have a towbar I may be able to help with a proven fast vintage boat that could be collected from a market town near you!  That assumes that I get my finger out and put the fittings back on my China Doll, a long threatened job that will only take a couple of days but has been pending for the last year!  Give me a call sometime.  Howard C (number in the book if not in your phone)  PS  Paul yes we will be coming along too crew and boat TBC.

If anyone would like to sail a ribby at this event - I currently have four fully restored and race rigged with a fifth (a new build Uffa King) nearing completion.



N341 Uffa King (1938)



N493 Laughter - Jack Holt's 19Burton Cup Winner (his Holt 500's were developed from this mould)



N711 Sinner - a Gnome design



N1183 - one of the last ribbed Proctor Mk11's to be built



N3541 - new build Uffa King (using trad materials and methods)



Please contact me direct via email or phone (07944 300749) if you are interested in sailing one on one or both days of the event

Hi

It was good to see and talk to so many 12 sailors at the RYA Dinghy Exhibition this weekend.

There was much interest in the N12 Vintage Inland Championships being held in late June and quite a few owners are now keen to dust off the vintage Twelves they have in storage ready for the event.

The likes of the Camm's and Meadowcrofts are also keen to be included in the fun so there could be a really broad mix of crews in attendance from across the 12 fleet.

Boats - ribbed and non-ribbed are available to loan from the extensive Northern & Midlands fleets for those who would like to participate but who don't own a vintage craft

To help with organization, if you haven't already done so please indicate below if you plan to attend and whether or not you would like to borrow a vintage 12 for the event.

It looks like it's going to be a great weekend - don't miss it.
