Just thought I'd let you know that a few of the Sprinters from Halifax are planning to get their buckets & spades out and pop over to Filey for the Regatta, if anyone else 'up north' is interested.
I realise it's the same weekend as the Sport Nationals, but as these are pretty much at the opposite ends of the country I don't think many Sprinters will be torn between the two.
Anyone interested please get in touch with Filey SC

I am one of those Northerners. As Charles says, I don't feel it will clash with the Sport nationals at all, just give northern based Sprinters a rare chance to get together locally for some racing on the sea when they would otherwise stay at home.
I have contacted Filey SC who are keen to have us and state that we can have a separate start with 6 or more boats. I do feel this is essential and hence feel we do need to have more than 6 saying they will go, on this forum I suggest, before the event is "confirmed". Halifax SC will provide 3 or 4 and there are now I believe 2 Sprint 15s at Yorkshire Dales SC who might be interested.

If Filey are a cat friendly sailing club they should consider affiliating the club to the UKCRA cat friendly club program , that will give them access to a host of cat clubs they can promote their event to specially in the North. www.catamaran.co.uk
We have not managed to get the 6 required for a fleet start so Charles and I won't be going this year. However, perhaps we could try again next year as a "Northern Sea Event".

That is a pity. I bet you could just about make it to the Sport Nationals if you put your mind to it.
