So far we have the following proposed venues

An East coast venue

Either Welsh venue could be pretty much any time
If any sailors from other countries are interested we can expand it it to 5 or 6 or? nations trophy.

I notice that it has been referred to as the "5 Nations Cup" (do we even have a cup?) on this forum as well as the 4 or 5 Nations Trophy. Mumbles Yacht Club are listing it in their calendar as the "Stealth 5 Nations Cup and Nationals" rather than the F16 etc. Would it not be a good idea to come up with a definitive title and publish NOR? It might actually make it look as though we know what we are doing!!!

I will find a trophy, let's call it just the Nations Cup, we now have Bjorn coming over from Germany with a new Blade, so entries are up to 12, also he is happy to double trail with someone else, maybe from Holland, Wouter?
What about the Jocks, any of you guys able to join us?

Okay, I'm seriously considering coming over myself with my crew. I have a few more hurdles to take before I can commit to it, but I'm serious about it.
John, I asked around in NL and maybe we can see another come out as well. No garantees, but there is interest in coming out.

Posts: 1,382 Essex, UK | OK Everyone,
The weekend is rapidly approaching. What are peoples' plans?
I am intending to travel to Wales on Friday evening, but latish, planning to arrive maybe 10pm or later. I am assuming that I'll be able to dump the trailer at Mumbles Y C.
I haven't booked accommodation yet though. Is anybody camping or most people booking B&B?
Paul has decided that as he has his end of year exams in the second week of June he can't really crew for me so I'm solo this year. Are most entries uni or sloop?

Camping is a fair trek on foot (about 15-20 mins) but it is available (see link below). All the B&Bs on the link below are within easy walking distance of the club. Beach House is nearest and has a flat roof area to dry off kit. www.mumblesyachtclub.co.uk/home_visitor.phpYou can leave your trailer in Knab Rock car park, opposite the club. If the 'council boys' are still there, ask them where they would like you to leave it. If in doubt come into the club first; we'll be in the bar...! | | | Re: F16 4 nations trophy

One more team from Netherlands is expected to attend as well. Doublehanded and it is not me. There rather good sailors as well.
As it stands now I'll be unable to bring my own boat and my crew will be attending a wedding. So my participation is tentative at this time. However, I have just inquired about a possible alternative.

Posts: 254 Gower, Wales, UK | Hi Wayne, Sailwave, do you know of any houses we could take over on mass as there are a number of us all looking for accomadation and it maybe better to all club in together and hire a holiday cottage or such like.
Wayne You could try Clyne Farm but I don't know of any houses as such. http://www.clynefarm.comBut you'll need to travel by car to the sailing club. | | | Re: F16 4 nations trophy

I'm sure we can find a floor or two for any stragglers... | | |
