Finally the cold and snow is leaving and spring is just starting to peak around the corner, with spring comes the first few events of the season beginning with the dingy show. Following the show the RYA Spring series gets us up and running on the 14th and 15th with Rutland the follwing weekend.
Important reminder for the events this year. The date of the introduction of the new rigs has been postponed until the 1st April, this means that the Ranker at Weymouth on 14th and 15th March will be raced with the old rigs.
All the 9er events will be raced this year with the old rigs. Any one with a new rig at a 9er event will be welcome to sail, but there results will not count.
If your planning to go to the dingy show please feel free to go and spend some time with Dave Hall on the 49er stand, he will sort out any one spending more than a conversation on the stand with free tickets and a T SHIRT.
Class training dates will be announced very shortly.

The new year has began with a cold start, congratulations and a welcome back to Will Henderson and, presume son, for completing a freezing Bloody Mary. This weekend is the Tiger Trophy at Rutland which looks similarly cold. Diana Fletcher is occupied at squad training so he wont be there sailing his gilrfriends 29er when it gets too windy. Good luck to the 49er contingent for the weekend.
For any one not using Facebook our class page is the place to chat and post your happenings.
Next will be the Dingy Show always a good social weekend and all the better if you get a free ticket and t shirt which of course you will get as well as a short time on the class stand.
As this will be an oversubscribed offer please get in touch with Dave Hall asap. It is a really good opportunity to show case what we do as a class in the UK which can sometimes be overshadowed by the Olympic profile.
It would be fantastic to get a good mix of sailors to represent the class at the show so dont feel you cant help out just because you have never been to an Open meeting before or you see your self as king of the Olympic circuit.
The calendar is finalised and is available via the events page above. the online version is a bit rough at some time it will get updated in a similar version to last year(see the results page to see the 08 version)
If your planning on going to the Worlds in Garda July 11 - 18 the entry is open and the website has gone live.
