The Frensham Frenzy - Sunday 14th March
Footy Open - Saturday 10th April
The racing will be on a small area of Frensham Great Pond, which is ideal for Footys and close to a grassy bank control area. It is also only a few steps from our car park (which does fill up with dinghy sailors so it's a good idea to arrive early.)
We have a fine clubhouse where food, hot and cold drinks will be available all day and at the end of the event the legendary ‘Frensham Tea’ will be provided free for all competitors. We cannot forecast how strong or light the wind will be, but often the wind is fluky and variable.
The current Footy Class Rules will apply and the racing will be conducted using the Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012 modified by the sailing instructions in EORS 2009.
- REGISTRATION and measurement check 08.30 to 09.30 hours.
- BRIEFING - this will start at approximately 09.45 hours.
- RACING TIMES - the first race will start soon after the briefing at approximately 10.00 hours - no race will start after 16.00 hours and any race in progress at 16.30 hours will be abandoned. We will be breaking for lunch at an appropriate time.
Please remember to bring your MYA membership card if you have one. Please also make sure that your sail numbers are clearly displayed on all mainsails; just the last two digits of your boat's registration number or your personal sail number. We will inform you before the event if there is a clash and the need to add a prefix '1'. When you bring your boat for registration, please make sure it can be checked in the Footy measurement box.
Just one more important notice: in order not to spread any ‘weed’ contamination, we would ask that you wash your boat down with fresh water before and after visiting. There is a hose point close to the control area.
Prizes - As well as the one Frensham Open Trophy there will be prizes for the top skippers and special prizes for Juniors under 16. The event will also count towards the annual Traveller’s Trophy for Footys.
The entry fee will be £3.00, to be paid on the day. Entries should go to Charles Smith and may be either phoned through on 01483 429 792 or e-mailed to tradboat at btinternet dot com
Borrow a boat: Please pass this notice onto those you know who might like to participate. If they have no Footy, we have some that may be borrowed. Please ring Charles asap to avoid disappointment.
