Budworth Sailing Club

The Main Points series got off to a good start yesterday, and you can now see some excellent pictures on the Gallery page in the March 2008 album

The details for other series in 2008 are as follows:

SATURDAY HANDICAP – 22^nd March

The Saturday Handicap season starts this coming weekend, Sat 22^nd March. First race at 2.00pm.
There are 12 Saturdays in the EARLY series, which runs through to the end of June. This is then followed by 13 Saturdays in the LATE series, which runs from July to the end of October. That’s 25 in total (not 27 as shown in the Handbook)

With 3 races each Saturday, there are a possible 36 and 39 races to sail in each series respectively. Only 8 races are required to qualify in each series and prizes are awarded for the first 3 places.
Scoring is based on the low points system with a discard available for every race sailed over the qualifying eight. Handicaps are calculated as indicated in your 2008 handbook (Page 34) which is now available. Additional copies are held behind the bar!

Hence the Saturday Handicap series provides close and fair competition where Mirrors, Toppers and GP14s can beat Lasers, RS200s and the other Budworth fleets. This together with the friendly and relaxed competition makes for an ideal family day sailing.

CHAMPION HELM CUP – Sun 26^th October
In a new format this year, Champion Helm will be a one day event at the end of October, and not combined with handicap racing as in recent years.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT SAILING – 23^rd April
For those enjoying a mid-week break on the water, Wednesday Night Sailing starts on Wed 25th April with the first of two races at 7.00pm.
