EVENTS 2008

LIFEBOAT DAY AND RNLI NESS CUP
Saturday 21 June
In 2008 we are combining our Lifeboat Day with the RNLI Ness Cup. The local RNLI committee will provide refreshments and stalls. Demonstrations from the RNLI and Coastguard are being planned and we hope that the Avoch Dolphin Boat will provide trips for the Public. Afterwards there will be a Social event for Club members.

The race is traditionally a long-distance open event for dinghies and cruisers sailing together over the same course.  Typically the course involves racing to a mark near Kilmuir or the Kessock Bridge and returning to the harbour around navigation marks on the south side of the Firth. An entry fee is levied and goes to the RNLI. The start time (11.00) is designed to catch the tide and allow for some festivity/recovery/airing of excuses at the Clubhouse after the race.

We look forward to celebrating mid-summer together.

CSC ANNUAL REGATTA
Saturday/Sunday 2/3 August
INCORPORATING THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND DINGHY CHAMPIONSHIPS
Our 2008 Regatta will include Cruiser Racing with dinghy class travellers for Merlin Rocket, Europe, RS 300s, Scottish Skiffs, slow and fast handicap classes and a separate course for inexperienced sailors run from the Starter’s Box. It will be a busy weekend on the water and all offers of help from members who do not plan to compete will be greatly appreciated.

This year we will be incorporating the North of Scotland Dinghy Championships. Further details will be published in the Notice of Race.

Up to six races are programmed; the division of classes depends on entries. The Race Officer will normally designate fast and slow handicap starts with other class starts depending on numbers. Individual class prizes will be awarded depending on the number of entries.

Food is laid on throughout the two days in the Clubhouse and a substantial evening meal is provided on the Saturday and the bar is open for the evening.

CLUB, LADIES, NOVICE AND JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Sunday 21 September
This is a one-day competition over 3 or 4 races (weather dependent) to decide the 2007 Club, Ladies, Novice and Junior Champions. This is a popular and keenly contested event.
