Winter 2009/10 RC Laser Northern District events Racing for the Link Trophy currently held by Adam Kissick 2008/9 winner Background As the RC Laser has gained ground in the NW of England, and the various skippers have diversified around the area, it has become clear that a means of keeping skippers in contact with each other was becoming more pressing. Each Club runs its own affairs, and traditionally they tend to go their own way when organising programmes, paying little regard to other local clubs. In an effort to counter this trend www.rclasers.com have, for the past couple of years, organised both Winter and Summer Travellers Series, taking in the local hot spots. During the Winter, a Sunday has proved to be the best day, and so it will be Sundays for this series. All these dates are open to all skippers Sailing information Standard S.I. as relevant to RCLaser Association events will apply. Association Membership while not compulsory is recommended. Public Liability insurance is compulsory. As with all these events a skipper competes by his own choice and the organisers cannot be responsible for the actions of competitors. If there is a keen non boat owner, it may be possible to find a boat for them to borrow. Contact Andy at Andrew George Boat Bits prior to the event. It will not be unusual for a competitor to act as start / finish judge, with the winner taking the positions of the rest of the fleet! If as a competitor you lend your boat, please ensure the finish judge is aware, because the lending skipper will score either the actual finishing place or their average score, whichever is better. In this way the skipper is not penalised for lending their boat to an interested spectator. Racing will start at 10.30 and no race will start after15.00hrs. If the weather is awful, and there is 100% support, it has been known for sailing to stop when enthusiasm runs out. Entry fees will be £3.00 per boat for each race day, with simple prizes. There is no need to pre-enter although announcing your intention to race on the forum will be useful for the organising body. These events are aimed at giving skippers the chance to race together, socialise and keep up to date with with events in the area and further afield. Dates The below is the list of the proposed ND Winter TT events. Each of the clubs has its own web site with listings of their club races throughout the year so you can get a full picture of Northern District activity.
