Even if you can’t do the whole of Pyefleet Week please would all BOD sailors answer our clarion call to race in the President’s Trophy on Sunday 10 August.  As always, we want this to be our biggest turnout of the year and with luck we will make it to 25 boats – possibly the biggest number of BODs ever to race together in the history of the class!

The start will be from the committee boat (located somewhere in the Colne between Bateman’s, Point Clear and Mersea Stone) at 14.36.  Please double check the exact time at the BSC Race Office just in case they have added any extra classes into the sequence ahead of us, but currently we will be the third start after the Cat Handicap and the Fireballs.

If anyone needs help getting their boats afloat, finding crew or generally getting sorted for the race please let Fi know on 07711 718470 or fiona.brown@fionabrown.com and she will fix you up with the help you need.

And don’t forget that there is a good warm up opportunity on Saturday 9 August with the Carole Cruickshank Pursuit Race starting at 14.00 which many of the BODs will be racing in too.
