We are delighted to announce that entries are now open for BSAR 08. We have finalised the event and it will build on the successful formula from previous years.
Friday will see us congregate at Port Solent to register and find our yachts before repairing to the bars and restaurants to catch up with friends and colleagues.
On Saturday we will head out to the eastern Solent for hopefully 3 races (conditions permitting). This year we have again retained the services of Sam Connelly as on-water race coach who will be zipping about in a rib showing us all how to make the boats go faster. The last race normally finishes off Cowes to allow a quick dash into the Yacht Haven to moor up and start the usual banter over beer, rum and coke.
That evening will see us at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club which has probably the best atmosphere of any of the Cowes clubs. Sam will provide a de-brief on what we could all do better, before the Royal Corinthian’s excellent high class barbeque. As usual, nominations for the “Diesel” award (the best cock-up of the day) will be made over dinner, before the descent into party land aided by music from one of the local bands or disco.
Sunday will see us back in the Solent for more racing, trying desperately to remember what Sam’s advice was. With racing finished we will return the boats and find out who has won!
The cost of entry will be £2300, or £2200 if the deposit of £400 and the entry form is received by April 30th. To enter…….
