Ok- teams for this Sunday race…
We still need at least two more men to race or we will receive a 20pt penalty. We are currently 5th in the table so have a good chance of a podium position at the moment. With a 20point penalty we will have no chance of getting anywhere near that.

There is then a fun race so if anyone else wants to row you are very welcome to come along as there will still be spaces.

I will get the boat to mersea on Saturday as it is a very early start Sunday!!!

We will leave Burnham at 07.50hrs as if we are not on mersea by 9am latest we will be cut off by the tide.

HIGH TIDE: 10.38 – 5.3M

Briefing: 9am. (We intend to have a one minute’s silence after briefing.)

Location: Dabchicks Sailing Club

Boats to be moored at the Hammer Head by 9.30am at the very latest. Parking facilities for trailers will be guided by our Club personnel on the day. Parking for cars is very limited; however, the community car park is available at a cost of £2.50 per day (opposite the Black Water Pearl and next to the community toilets), plus there are roads around that you can park for free in.

Course will be provided on the day. Finish line: Dabchicks Sailing Club.

Order of boats racing to be drawn out of the hat.

£10 per boat per race.

Morning and after race delicious refreshments available at Dabchicks Sailing Club from 8.30am.

Prize giving and raffle at Dabchicks Sailing Club – 2.30pm(ish)!

Timing of races on the hour: Ladies’ race: 10am, Men’s race: 11am and Mixed race: 12pm.

We thought it would be fun to also hold an additional race at 1pm; if there is enough time plus if you all wish to participate and the weather/tide permits. We would like to have a crew with each seat being occupied by a different club. If possible 2 women and 2 men per boat; with priority given to people who haven’t raced already. We would ask the Clubs that if they are happy to participate to provide a Cox for their own Gig; this is to ensure the safety and security of the crew onboard. This idea is to foster friendship and camaraderie between all of our wonderful clubs! We really hope you can join in with this as we are sure it will be brilliant fun!

All boats must have a VHF radio Thank you all so much. We really look forward to seeing you all next Sunday. Please could you confirm as soon as possible if you will be participating so that we can ensure trailer parking for all.

Happy Rowing!
