Hi All, just a heads-up…

At the meeting last night it was decided that the Extra Nationals will be held at Port Owen from 14-16 October (Friday to Sunday). We’ve got the “YES” from POYC. We just need to finalise a bunch of details. Port Owen has loads of potential and after sailing in the bay and up the river recently, it is certainly a prime regatta venue.

Some of the main motivating factors were:

1. Really helpful and accommodating club members.
2. It’s a different venue.
3. Camping availability.
4. Housing accommodation availability (to be further investigated).
5. Flat, semi-protected water in the bay.
6. Bridge boat available.
7. Some rescue boats available.
8. Possible spectator vessels.
9. Option of more sheltered water on the river, if the wind picks up a lot.
10. …BOKKOMS!!

Any thoughts or feedback, appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ian MacRobert
