Wirral Sand Yacht Club

Annual Class 8 Regatta

24th- 25th Sept 2005

Weather permitting this event will consist of six 30 Minutes races on Saturday with all pilots entering 3 of them (Exact way this will be done is to secret !!!).
Then based on their results of all competitors will race in either the A or B Final on Sunday of 90 Minutes.
The hope of running this format is to allow less experienced pilots to race at there own level and have chance of winning a race
Due to nature of event pilots must race on the Saturday to qualify for Sunday Races
Note all entrants must have BFSLYC (FED) Insurance which can be arranged at a cost of 10 Pounds for the weekend for anyone not having it.

Cost to Enter

WSYC Members 10 Pounds

All others 15 Pounds

Late entry Fee (for entry after 14th August) 5 pounds

Just to clarify

I think that late entry fee should read £5 additional charge to above i.e. £15 WSYC and £20 other.

Race officials for the weekend will be Myself and GaRRy + other co-opted marshalls.

The WSYC for those that do not know is based at Hoylake on the Wirral peninsular and operates from arguably the best location in Europe for Class8/Parakarting boasting a non tidal 8 square miles of sand - futher details can be found on the WSYC website.

As with Supercup events at this venue spaces get snapped up pretty quickly so get those registrations in snappy so as not to be disappointed.

Its gonna be one of the not be missed racing events of the year - see you there.

For me it`ll be a chance to test em against other kites

[GaRRy]

while getting a steady stream of interest in this event not getting as many entrants yet as I hoped for '(last minute rushes are good but hard to plan for). Apart from the obvious im on holiday/cant make it reason is there any other reason why people are reluctant to enter ? (Cant be cost as this is by far the cheapest open evnt that has been held this year). If you have a concern let us know and we will try and address it.

I am on holiday, but if I wasn't I would have three concerns.

1. Will there be enough wind. I would wait and see the three day forecasts before comitting. (Still thinking of pulling out of the Supercup this weekend as winds look so light)

2. It is also a Bank Holiday weekend, so traffic could be a consideration, certainly for me travelling 300 miles each way.

3. May have pressure to spend some time with the familly.

Garry,, no can do mate sorry,, wedding,,,not mine either so am gutted

[GaRRy]

[GaRRy]

Excellent You can put me down for this.

well get on the site and register

and most importantly send me the money

[RedWineRacer]

Just registered on-line but I am being asked for £15. I thought members were only £10

Ok to clarify the site says 15 pounds as it only allows us to enter 1 price. (Blame the developer . Only joking Rob ). However if you are a member of WSYC you only need to send me a Tenner. I figured id rather return the odd fiver on the day than have to go around chasing those who paid to little.

[GaRRy]

One more bump. Remember you need to register by tomorrow or else the cost goes up by a fiver.

[GaRRy]

One more bump

Can confirm that prize for the Novice (B Final) will be a Vampir Race kite kindly provided by TKC

With other goodies also being provided by Surface Tension/Ozone Uk and hopefully PKD

[RedWineRacer]

Garry, I was going to come up for a blast on Friday, but I have just looked on the WSYC web site and Friday is not highlighted. Will the bank be clear or covered in H2O

Unless a big high comes in the bank will be wet Friday - Its also likely to be a bit damp on Saturday in places so I would advise wet gear of some type.
