Event Details.

 

Monday 30th May – Bank holiday open Day. – Start time 10:30

Sunday 19th June – Lowestoft passage Race. – Start time 10:30

The planned race is to Lowestoft and back depending on favourable conditions

Thursday 23rd June – Thursday Evening Regatta – Start time 7pm

This is likely to be 2 races over a shorter inshore course than Sundays and with usually lighter evening winds a great opportunity to race on the sea. The evening sailing tends to attract more Single Handers especially Lasers than the larger weekend courses.

Sunday 26th June Beach Regatta & D-one Open. – Start Time 10:30

Calling all Wayfarer Owners – Ramuz Trophy 10th September

Calling all Wayfarer Owners

On the 10th September Rollesby has been asked to host the Ramuz Trophy,
the Norfolk Interclub Championships for club champions!

We ideally need 8 Wayfarers for use on the day. They need to be in good condition,
though it is part of the ‘luck’ of the competition that the do not all need to be
latest spec racing condition. We can get an expert to cast their eye over all boats
before hand.

All boats used will be covered by the event insurance and by the nature of the event
everyone competing is an experienced sailor.

So could you lend your boat for the event?
Or could you lend us a set of good racing sails so we can balance out the fleet
as best possible.

It is not necessary that you are available on the day, though you may prefer to be
there to either rig or pack away your own boat. We will be looking for a race /
rescue team for the day.

Please contact myself or Pete if you can be of any assistance.

Thanks
Ian
