Important announcement
Racing is changing at Northampton Sailing Club
As per the Commodore's announcement at the Annual General Meeting in December the sailing committee has decided to change the racing format for 2013.
The Bank Holiday Race Series
This will now consist of a series of sprint races. The race officers will fit as many races into the 2 hours available. This should lead to some exciting and close racing. Your race officers for the first date in the series which is 1st January will be Will Gulliver and Gordon Halfacre.
The Icicle Series
The start time will now be 11.30. The first race will be a 60 minute pursuit race immediately followed by a handicap race.
And now the bonus!
After a busy couple of hours on the water why not reward yourself with one of Elaine's legendary roast dinners, the bar will also be open from 1pm to 4pm - bring the family down as well!
More changes to the racing programme to follow. Keep your eyes peeled for further announcements!
The Steve Nicholson Trophy
Northampton Sailing Club will be hosting the Steve Nicholson Trophy on the 26th January and on line entries are now available to you.
We are always looking for helpers for this event as there is always lots to do, assisting the race officers, directing traffic, etc.
If you want to help then please contact Neil Pitcher at [email protected]
Happy sailing and a happy new year!
