Despite the horrendous forecast 6 travellers and 8 home boats turned up at Draycote this morning but one look at the wind and the waves meant that no one was in a rush to get their boats rigged. After much chat and tea drinking the decision was made to postpone the racing untill 12:00. The wind was ...

Hi George,
Even when the lake is full there is still plenty of space for boats and trailers on the grass beyond the windsurf area.
Cheers

Hi Bob just noticed your post after checking details for the nationals. The 'Interfleet Championship' is an annual event where each fleet at the club submits a team of approximately six helms and they have a series of short races in identical boats - this year I think it was Laser Picos, Fireflys an...

Gary,
The gates for the site are on a timer and are controlled by Severn Trent.
They open at 7:30 am and close at 5:00 pm.
So long as you enter before 5:00 pm exit is still possible after 5:00 pm as there is a detector on the sailing club side of the gate.
Cheers
Pete.

George,
As per last year there will be someone near to the gate who will direct you to the hosing down area.
Someone will 'deshrimp' your boat there.
Look forward to seeing you.
Pete.

Thanks to everyone who helped organise the winter series - It was great fun as always and race weekends are always a beacon during the cold winter months.
I particularly enjoyed reading the Grafham write up and it was so helpful of Bob to point out my mistakes!
