RC Lasers October-March 2008/9 Northern District Winter Travelers Trophy Series Racing for the Link Trophy A Brief History of the series and some general comments This is the third year of the current ND Winter TT Series and the busiest so far, with 6 venues. We sail for the Link Trophy, presented by Andrew Kissick, to promote better understanding between model and dinghy sailors; thus the ‘linking’ with Dinghy Clubs. If you know of any other Dinghy Club that would like to host a round in 2009/10 please contact Andy. Any RC Laser sailor is welcome to attend There is a Club boat available if you know someone who wants to ‘have a go’. Contact Colin on 01524 33903 to arrange. (NB Club insurance covers use of this boat third party) There is a slightly unusual addition to the normal scoring system. Because we want to encourage skippers to lend boats should the occasion arise, a skipper lending a boat will score either the actual finish position, or his average score, whichever is better. In other words, the lending skipper will not lose out by his actions. The dates between the TT events will be sailed at Lancaster Club at Carnforth. Any RC Laser sailor is welcome to join the Lancaster Winter Series. Please note that all competitors must have 3rd party insurance. This is available through Colin, well in advance to allow for the post, @ £6.50 pa. This is the standard MYA Club insurance scheme. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are covered, and a requirement to compete. Briefings are at 10.15 with the start at 10.30. Last race approx 3pm with a short lunch break Note that Lancaster breifing will be at 10.30 with the start soon afterwards (the site doesn't open till 10am) Make certain that you check the website for any last minute changes before travelling just in case of any problems For club/site location see below Entry fee:- £2.00/boat/race day pay on entry Prize giving @ Lancaster 29th March 2009 50% of the entry fee is donated to the host Club, so if you would like to donate a prize for any of the race days, please contact Andy Kissick 01995 643043 after 8.30pm or agkissick@aol.com A bottle of wine or similar is good Dates and venues for the TT and the Club series Oct 19th TT Lancaster 26th Club Lancaster Nov 2nd TT Preston 9th Club Lancaster 16th TT WLYC 23rd Club Lancaster 30th TT Keighley Dec 7th Club Lancaster 14th TT Fleetwood 21st Club Lancaster Christmas/New Year break Jan 4th Club Lancaster 11th Club Lancaster 18th TT Southport SC 25th Club Lancaster Feb 1st Club Lancaster 8th TT Keighley 15th Club Lancaster 22nd Club Lancaster Mar 1st TT WLYC 8th Club Lancaster 15th TT Preston 22nd Club Lancaster 29th TT Lancaster with TT prize giving 10 races 5 to count In the event of a tie; the next best result and so on until the tie is broken Note some dates have changed - so update your diaries |
