For a flavour of last year's rally see the shaky video at
https://youtu.be/QqE3L77EAHg One of the highlights was the Swallowboat fleet "milling about" at Patterdale. Another memorable incident was the BR20fleet trying to catch up with 14ft Cavatina going down wind. More sunshine is booked for this year's event in June.
Just a reminder that this year Glenridding Sailing Centre is hosting us with excellent launching facilities. The map attached shows Ullswater's many attractions and easily avoided hazards including buoyed rocks and caravan sites.
Five boats have confirmed so far:
BR20 Ristie - Tim
BR20e Alice Amy - Reg
BR20 Moirach - John
BR17 Tripos - Mark
BR20 Gladys - Matthew
Some free places are available - first come first served.
To keep this string uncluttered please let me know via the forum messaging service if you previously registered an interest but have not yet confirmed or cancelled.
RALLY DETAILS
Glenridding Sailing Centre fees are £20 per day (Fri pm to Sun pm counts as 2 days), which includes launching and use of facilities.
We are also invited to the annual GSC Ceilidh in the village hall at a cost of £25 pp and includes feasting, drinking (included in price!) and dancing. The food and drink appeals to me although people with delicate feet may be relieved to hear I might leave dancing to others.
There are a number of good campsites nearby. Please see
http://www.ullswater.co.uk/camping.html#Watermillock and make your own arrangements.
