Burton Club Regatta event this weekend
Hi all, please see below an email from Burton SC for a club regatta this weekend.
The Regatta Event is now confirmed for this weekend 19/20 June. This
should be a great two days sailing primarily for club members as the
event has not been advertised outside of the club (we might get the
odd one or two members). OK OK it’s not been advertised that well
within the club either…….!The format will be informal. The first race on the Saturday will not
be before 1PM and we will have either 2 or 3 handicap races depending
on wind conditions.We will have a bring your own food BBQ on the Saturday evening.
On the Sunday we will have the annual Ernie Hewkin Memorial race at
11AM. For those that do not know this is a handicap in reverse, where
the slow boats start first and the fast boats last in such a manner
that the fleet converges until a set time elapsed at which point the
position in the race is your result. Great fun!After Lunch we will have two handicap races on the normal Sunday start
times.The regatta results will be based on the Saturday races and the two
Sunday races with one discarded result.Lets make it a big turnout of club members. We had 55 boats on the
water last weekend lest see how many club boats we can get out.
Remember the club has quite a variety of boats to try if you fancy a
change from a flying fifteen (like getting wet for once). New members
and Novices from the courses come down and take part please.I will get a proper Notice of Race on the website soon.
