Burghfield Blast + Coaching -11th-12th June

[grazz]

As Spinnaker is cancelled we're running a coaching session at Burghfield (Near Reading) this Saturday 11th June starting at 11am. So if you were planning on joining the coaching at Spinnaker please come along (please post here if you're coming). 

And on the Sunday 12th June is the Burghfield Blast, a day of intense short course racing - racing is one lap-15-30mins with about 7-10 races during the day. Its great fun non stop (except lunch of course!) start-race-start race etc! 

More details to follow

Notes from Jeremy Carey
"Burghfield has its 'Burghfield Blast' on the 12th June which is a
    great day of short course racing- lots of starts and short races of
    about 15-20mins each with the aim of running up to around 10 races.
    Its a cracking sailing event, a little bit out of the norm, with
    quick turnaround between the races. Fun, fast and furious!

    12's will have their own start and sail the same course as the club
    fleets.

   

    If you were planning on going to Spinnaker then this might just be a
    little bit closer to you, if you weren't going to spinnaker then can
    we tempt you to this anyway?

   

    If interested please either reply to me ASAP  or post on either the
    12 website or the 12 facebook page so that I can get a rough idea of
    prizes

    Last year we had about 50 club boats take part- was a great event!"

   

    Cheers
