Excepng Carsington which had a low turnout, due I suspect to a poor wind forecast, this means that Naonals at Brightlingsea 20-21 the summer series averaged 25 boats at each event. Impressive stuff. Indeed, there are quite a few classes who would be pleased if those WINDSPORT SUMMER 2012 TT SERIES sorts of numbers turned out for their Naonals! Talking of which, our wonderful 82 boat turnout at Brightlingsea has Seasalter TT 4-5 put us in the top ten for 2012 Naonals’ aendances across all U.K. classes, not just catamarans. In the catamaran class alone, we were first and third respecvley for Naonals and Sport Naonals, split by Marconi TT 16-17 the Dart 18’s in second with 51 boats. This is surely testament to the appete there sll is for a brilliant lile boat and an enthusiasc class Stewartby TT 31 fraternity. It is all the more poignant that the enthusiasm is being maintained in these challenging economic mes when we are all NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS being careful with the pennies.
