Miniseries next Saturday (12/10)
- Our next (hopefully first and definitely last) miniseries is this Saturday with first warning signal not before 11.25 am. This is provisionally scheduled for the bay but true to form, the wind currently looks a bit light so I will put out a Whatsapp poll tomorrow to gauge interest – and we’ll make a call on Friday.
- For those who have forgotten where to find it, here is a link to the fleet NoR & SI addenda covering miniseries
- Apparently the RYA film crew is at Parkstone on Saturday and they are really keen to see the Flying Fifteens in action so I hope we have a good turnout and you’re all wearing your smartest sailing kit!
Early start next Wednesday (16/10)
- As stated in the series NoR, because of tides, the first warning signal next Wednesday (16th October) will be not before 12.55 pm (i.e. 30 mins earlier than normal)
Summer Series results
- The Summer Series results have been published on the club website (and can be found via a link on the fleet website)..
The podium positions for both series are below. Congratulations to all, especially Ian and Mike (or whoever was really sailing 3922!) for ‘medalling’ in both series
