2018 Finn and Europe Inlands

The ‘Devilishly Difficult Quiz’ is going down well at the Club😎

Well I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m shattered!!!!

Thank you all the volunteers from Oxford SC who made the event such a success, from the PROs and their Race Teams, the Safety Boat Crews, Hacketts Harbour, the Results Team, the Pirate Parents that ran registration and of course the Pirates for their Stirling work on the beach.😎

Just as much as this, I’d like to thank everyone who came to the event - without you turning up in numbers it wouldn’t be worth organising regattas like this👍🏽.

Further thanks needs to go to our numerous Sponsors who helped ensure that everyone took a prize home - all well deserved after an epic day’s racing today;

Let’s hear it for the Oxford Pirates, who did a fabulous job helping on the beach today!

Why not come and watch the racing and enjoy the facilities at Farmoor👍🏽

LOADS of prizes, all made up and ready to be won🏆🏆🏆 Cameron Tweedle Sailing is excited (though I have concerns for the structural integrity of that table!).

Boats (both little and large) have started arriving at Farmoor👍🏽😎

Weather is ‘glamour’ right now, and predicted to move in to ‘champagne’ territory later👍🏽

It’s nearly time!!!! With the forecast looking good for 10kts+ all weekend, here’s some pumping information for those so inclined .....

(Europists have probably already noted that the NoR and SIs have been written to the International Europe Class Union rules, allowing free pumping👍🏽😎

Finn Free Pumping Simulating sail forces when free pumping in the Olympic Finn-dinghy. Note: Tripling the sail force does not mean tripling the boat speed. All the simulations...

Just a few more days to go, and the weather looks almost perfect!
In other news I’m delighted to announce we have another prize sponsor in Decathlon UK!
Registration starts at 0930 on Saturday, and I look forward to seeing you there😎
