Another year, another two day open, proceeded by a training day at Northampton to look forward to.
Hold/book the date:
- Friday 16th June - Training Day
- Saturday / Sunday 17th/18th June - Phantom Open
With many Phantomers keen to make a long weekend of it, the club will be open to visitors for the regular Thursday evening club racing (7.00pm start) followed by a hearty evening meal provided by Martin and Sarah our in-house caterers.
Details are now set and the club are excited to host a Phantom Training Day commencing at 11.00am with an onshore boat set up and tuning session followed by on the water coaching and sprint races to practice starting techniques and boat handling skills. Coaching, which is free to Phantom Class Members (£20.00 for non members, which happens to be the subscription fee to join the association !!) will be provided by no less than four experts, keen to pass on their knowledge and proven expertise. Including Phantom aficionado - John 'Titch' Wayling, P&B's - Isaac Marsh (Race Officer for the event), current Inland Champion -Rob Cook and past Inland Champion -Simon Hawkes !
That's a lot of knowledge to tap into, don't miss out.......
The open event over the weekend, sponsored by P&B, will be a great opportunity to put into practice those newly honed skills and techniques and perhaps test out some go-fast rig settings !
Those familiar with Northampton Sailing Club will know it's a great venue set in beautiful surroundings and friendly atmosphere. Camping and full catering is available on site over the whole long weekend with a bookable evening meal on Friday and Saturday evening providing the perfect setting for the well-known Phantom social scene.
Full entry details are now available on the club website with NoR and SI's to follow soon at northamptonsailingclub.org
We are looking forward to welcoming familiar faces and first timers to NSC from across the regions to support the growing home Phantom fleet.
