UK24mR Association

As the 3rd Lockdown comes to an end, there is some hope that we will be able to hold some Open meetings in the U.K. this year. Frensham, Plymouth and Rutland are all likely to happen.Frensham have yet to confirm the date, we are hoping for the end of may.

There is a lot of interest for Plymouth Regatta, which is to run July 9th and 10th. Bruce Hill is currently busy organising with the Plymouth Haven Yacht club. We hope as many people as possible will attend. It will be great to meet and see friends and faces not seen for over a year. Please contact Bruce Hill (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) if you require further information .

Genoa Worlds 2019

CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN PASCOE - 2 times World Champion.

Antwerp 2019

And so on from Genoa, 3 fool hardy Brits continued onto Antwerp. One returning home for a brief 4 days at work (what does the T-Shirt say - " Born to Sail, Forced to Work"), the other 2 continuing their road trip. Meg , Kate and Nev where join my Brit , Martin Whittingham Jones, who had to pull out of Genoa. So a merry band of 4 headed into Antwerp, for what had looked like a pleasant three days sailing... but low and behold the weather forecast changed from a sunny 8mph to a blustery 18 gusting 30mph... oh joy, more windy weather, just what we needed. Still at least the water would be flat !!

German Nationals 2019 - Essen

A massive congratulations to Brian Harding, the soul GBR representative at the German Nationals this year. He finished a very respectable 21st out of 36, continuing his improvement over the season as he heads towards the Worlds in Genoa. Well done Brian

Irish Nationals 2019-Kinsale

It was a long trip to Kinsale. but the food and the welcome by Kinsale Yacht Club made it all worth while. The weather was not particu;arly kind, with Saturday blowing an unusual SE wind that lead to a swell and chop in the Estuary, that meant sailing was cancelled. That did however leave us time to explore Kinsale with its amazing array of eating and drinking options.... it was tough.

Sunday however gave us a glorious day and the club running us 4 superb races, the tide proving challenging to some. Meg was once again in a different league, giving the locals an excellent display on how to sail a 2.4mR well. The locals , quite rightly, thought the 2.4mR was a beautiful boat and that they would love to sail one.. we hope they do.

Dutch Nationals

W.v Aegir

Once again we travelled to this event, with the aim of sailing well and having fun. It’s fair to say that we all achieved the latter, whilst some sailed better than others. Congratulations have to go to Nev Millard who finished 2nd British boat out of 6... no guessing who was first. A fantastic achievement.

Thanks to W.V. Aegir, Tony and his band of helpers who did us proud. Nothing was too much trouble and the food and drink - there was plenty. The winds on the sailing area where fickle and shifty. On the Saturday, racing was abandoned after 2 races as the wind died, that left us time for a scenic trip around the canal, before a delicious BBQ in the evening.

Meg again did us proud, not letting any one get a look in until the Sunday, when she let someone else have a chance. With two discard, she once again finished with a nice picket fence to count. Apparently it is tradition for the winner of the Dutch Nationals to take a plunge. With the weather fair and warm, Meg was happy to oblige.

Inland Nationals at Rutland Sailing Club

July 26th - 28th

A lovely warm afternoon greeted the early arrivals at Rutland Sailing Club for the Inland Nationals 2019 on Thursday and it was much of the same Friday for the later arrivals. Sun was out but unfortunately the breeze wasn't. Nice for rigging and boat bimberling but that was about it.
