I was chatting to John Pierce recently and during this conversation we discussed next years sailing calender. The best we could come up with was holding a minimum of four events 2 at Mumbles and 2 at Datchet. The Datchet dates would need confirming but possibly around mid May and early September. The Mumbles events would take place on 28th-29th June which coincides with our Welsh Cat Championships. Two weeks prior to this is the MYC Gower Challenge which is a brilliant event with racing taking part around the cans and also some moderate distance racing (up to 30 miles) along the Gower Pennisular and around Swansea Bay to Port Talbot and back to Mumbles. If there is enough interest John will do some training during the intervening weekend (Boat storage at Mumbles for 3 weeks wouldn't be an issue but I would recommend a good waterproof tent). The remaining event would be the F16 Global Challenge, August 9th-12th. A practice race will be arranged for the 8th and if the weather behaves we'll probably sail/race down the peninsular to Oxwich and some Pub Grub on Wednesday 13th.
If anybody wants to suggest other dates or venues worthy of the F16 Flying Circus TT then please don't hesitate to put your ideas forward.
