Racing Update
Tomorrow is 1st September, which means it’s:
1) The last day to register for the Holms Race. It’s next Saturday (8th) and the long range forecast is 20+ degrees and sunny with a NE force 3-4 (although there’s plenty of time for that to change!). Please let me know if you’d like to enter but won’t be able to submit an entry form this weekend.
2) The first day of Autumn (meteorologically speaking) and so …
3) The first race of the Autumn Series. Start is 10:30 off Avonmouth, although we’ll wait for anyone in the 10:00 lock (within reason). As per the Notice of Race (but contrary to previous info) this series includes the Gluhwein Race, with prizes being awarded for the best four results from the seven races (1st, 2nd, 3rd under IRC, plus 1st under NHC – but you can only win one prize!).

Racing
The Plate race is this Saturday (11 Aug): the start will be at 10:20, which is 30mins earlier than advertised (there’s no 10:30 lock, so advertised 10:50 start doesn’t make sense). Course will be announced nearer the time, but please note the following: Start / Finish Line: extension of the east wall of Portishead pier […]
