I'm interested, but know nothing about the race, the club, or what's involved.  Is it a pay & play affair?

We'll be shooting some footage for a promo video on the day so polish your boats, iron your sails, sharpen the grins and come and join in. 

Cheers
Ian

Is that the Paul that used to pop up to ASC occasionally?  If so - I remember you! Welcome...  I used to be the roster secretary there at ASC & I'm new to the class too. Can you give me some detail about this event?  Ta

You can add Marcus and Tim to the list Matt.  I'll post some notes on the event for those that haven't been before (I may miss out some knowledge as I would like a chance)  8)

Anyone else out there looking for a one day (Saturday) event that starts at a very reasonable hour. 

Let's test the theory that everyone wants one day events......

Just chancing my arm, but on the remote/faint chance that any of the travelling Phantoms attending this event on Saturday might have a spare good sail and/ or a carbon boom for sale...  I could bring some cash with me on the day, so If anyone is tempted, please let me know ASAP so I know how much to bring!  Thanks...
