UK Nationals
Update - 42 pre entries with 3 weeksto go .... Thanks
to all those who have entered early; this makes event
planning much easier. But there are still many names
"missing" from the list of entries that we'd
hope to see.
We
are also running a Weekend Warrior section for those
who perhaps can only sail Saturday & Sunday.
The Musto Skiff Class
Association and Ovington Boats are delighted to announce
GreatKit.com have stepped up as the title sponsor of

 As
part of their support for the event which will include
some great prizes GreatKit.com are also supporting the
registration of early entries by offering a FREE Gerber
Clutch Mini Tool (shown right) to everyone who enters
the event before June 30th 2006.
The event is all set to be a huge success
and the support of GreatKit.com can only add to that.
This year we will continue to run competitions
within the event to give everyone something to race
for;
We will be running a silver fleet competition
that excludes the hot shots and a buddy competition
that with formalise the already healthy flow of information
and advise from the front to the back of the fleet.
Daily prizes will also be awarded and
you will only be able to win a daily prize ONCE ...
so by the end of the week these will be awarded further
and further down the fleet.
There will also be a number of "special
awards" given as the committee see's fit. So any
full on wipe outs or after hours nonsense could be awarded.
Here is a view of some of the generous
prizes we have from our sponsors to be awarded at the
UK Nationals and the Gold Cup in Travemunder.
 In
addition to the event sponsor our class sponsors: Musto,
Hyde, Selden and Harken continue to support the class;
- As with the last two years we will be
raffling off a Hyde logoed spinnaker
- Harken and Musto are adding to the prize
pot
- Selden are contributing to a free BBQ
on Saturday.
Here is the Notice
of Race and the Entry
Form. Please enter ASAP as it helps with the planning
of the event.
The entry fee is £85.
Please note that plenty of camping has
been arranged on-site but please book it when you enter.
 This
event is also being advertised on www.yachtsandyachting.com,

Location
Places to eat in Filey
(MAKE BOOKINGS)
Filey is a small, old fashioned
seaside town with a resident population of around 5,000
people. This resident population swells enormously in
the summertime with tourists, many of whom stay in and
around the town in the hotels, B & B’s, guest houses,
caravan and camp sites and other self catering houses
and flats. This influx of people is great for the town
– however it does put places to eat under pressure and
I would suggest that booking in advance is essential
to avoid disappointment. See
the list >>>
