Hi All
Planning to pick up ship on the 25th from P&B then come to Creeksea for open, please can someone let me know where a good place to stay is? Also can you sail from Creeksea with fixed rudder? Actually where is Creeksea?!
Thank you

Up river from Burnham on Crouch, but not as far as "Up River YC"
Lost of people Camp, Camper van or Motorhome
Chris Roberts will no doubt update you more accuratly
Fixed rudder is possible, just don't go ner the edges

Please take a look at the website for location but it's basically Burnham on Crouch.
http://www.creeksea.org.uk/
A fixed rudder is okay but care is needed if cheating the tide inshore - my tip is always make sure your board is down as deep as your rudder - to act as a "trip wire".
Camping is available at the club and we will be organising a taxi back from town.
Saturday night "social" will start at The Ship in Burnham (where James Jarvey is known by some very choice words) with a meal and get messy from there on I expect.
I'll put more details up shortly.
Chris.

Thanks Chris and John
Unfortunately I have just been informed that surprise surprise the boat has not been made yet so it would be a miracle to sail at Creeksea! Hopefully it will be ready for Weymouth!
Have a great event and maybe next year!
