Did we also have as possibles, or part of the week?

Ladybird - Ian and Heather Barnes ?
Drift - Simon White?

[Dennis]

I have "Ladybird" down as definite, at least for the beginning of the week.

I believe "Drift" will not be there, but Simon may get down for a day or two to crew for others. He needs to confirm.

We’ll caveat the above programme by adding that all activities are subject to the weather conditions on the day. You decide if you want to sail, and you are free to pick a direct or indirect course to suit the appetite and skill level on your boat.

We have arranged discounted berthing at Mylor Yacht Harbour for the week, and you must pay this before you leave. Free launching and trailer storage has been arranged, although you’ll have to pay if you want to be launched and recovered by crane.

This is the first time that the class has arranged an event like this, and we are indebted to Mylor Yacht Harbour and Mylor Yacht Club for all of the support they have offered. It would be fantastic to see as many Cape Cutter 19′s as possible on the water. It you are interested in attending please speak up on the forum, or email webmaster@capecutter19.org.

Sounds good. Truro is a nice trip, and sheltered if the weather is inclement. Hopefully, the weather will be good and we can get across to the Helford River

[Richard Rickard]

Don't forget the Pendennis Cup racing for superyachts that week [[url]www.thependenniscup.co.uk][/url]. They will be racing on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - usually out from Black Rock into the Bay. They moor on the pontoons just below the Maritime Museum in Falmouth, so ideal for a drink/meal on Events Square looking out over them (no onboard visits sadly). Red Arrows display after the final race on Saturday afternoon.

Also, on the first (Bank Holiday) weekend, Restronguet Sailing Club (also at Mylor Yacht Harbour, about 100m along the beach) will be hosting the SW Region Firefly Championships, so more activity to watch. They race either just out in Carrick Roads, or possibly take a trip out to the Bay, weather permitting.
