Burton Week 2016
You may have just missed
the early entry discount
but this year we are
welcoming ALL
National 12 Sailors to
attend the 80th Dinner,
held on Sunday 21st
August at Brightlingsea
Sailing Club. Full
details are
hereThe
entry list continues to
grow with a few National
12 stalwarts making an
appearance to celebrate
80 years of the class.
If you've been missing
from the championships
for a few years, we'd
love to see you back!
There really is no
better excuse to get
your National 12 out on
the water again! We can
promise 4 days of close
racing throughout the
fleet, with current
entries including
designs such as the
latest T-foiling Hijack
right through to a Mark
9!

club, practically in the
dinghy park! Details are

We all love the
annual newsletter
and the monthly
emails, but are you
missing out on the
National 12 online
scene?
We recently posted
this photo
of Tynemouth Burton
Week 1979, bringing
back many memories!
We've had the
website for a few
years now with an
active discussion
forum, but our
presence has grown
onto Twitter,
Facebook and
Instagram. We are
constantly posting
details about
upcoming National 12
events and often
have 'guess the
year' or 'who can
remember this' posts
where we dig a few
old photos out, like
the one above.
Connect with the
National 12 today:
Facebook
Twitter
Instagram
We are hoping to
link the three
accounts onto the
National 12 homepage
so that even if you
don't have accounts
for the social-media
websites, you won't
miss out on any
content!

2016 Vintage
Championships
Although the numbers
were a little down on
previous years because
many of the Vintage
stalwarts had a number
of pressing reasons why
they couldn’t attend, we
had a very pleasant, fun
and keenly competed
sailing weekend
alongside the N12 Fest
fleet.
We had great sailing
on both days. Saturday
was a little tricky but
Sunday was superb. The
numbers were
disappointing
considering the great
venue, but joining with
the 12 Fest saved the
day numbers wise. Burton
SC would like us back
next year and we would
like to go back because
they really did us proud
with excellent courses,
great catering and
facilities plus a fab
piece of water to sail
on; very special thanks
to Bill Hooton and Craig
Hellon from Burton, and
Kevan and Janet, for
their hard work before
and during the event.
