Well, as of today, we have 3 entries and the RS200's only have one entry for their Nats at Mounts Bay
 
Not sure we'll out-number them ultimately, sadly.
 
The RS300s also have three entries - how do we make sure we do out-number them, come September?
 

I'll be there.  Also doing the Europeans and Lymington.  Will enter the Nats & Euros soon...

I've just entered too, 4! 

I'll be at Lymington, Llandegfedd  (is that right- never been- not Welsh despite name), Exe,  possibly Gurnard, Final Fling at Draycott, but possibly not Travemunde due to distance and lack of insurance past the Elbe, but might be tempted. 
 
Anyone got any spare accommodation in Lymington as it's so expensive I'm thinking of building a bender in the New Forest?

Hi all. Just bought 159 and hoping to be at Lymington as it's local for myself (being Netley SC). Assume there are still entries being taken. Trying to get my act in gear for Nationals but may only be Weekend.

The forecast for the Nationals at the end of next week is looking good.  no big lows in sight, and looks as though there could be great sailing every day.  If you have not entered yet you still can, even if its just a weekend entry and if you are going and have not yet entered it would be good to know (just post here or pm me) as I am trying to sort out Gold and Silver fleets as well as Buddies.
Now i've just got to finish bimbling before next Thursday

RS100 2016 Survey Results Here! (and Nationals Runners and Riders)

Hello RS100 Sailor
 
Put on the kettle or open the tinnie for some interesting reading...

1.  Thank you to everyone for taking the time to fill in the 2016 RS100 survey

The results are up now on the RS100 website in the documents library

Simply go to the documents library here: http://uk.rs100sailing.org/index.asp?selection=Documents&Fleet=RS100

Then go to the Nationals folder and select RS100 2016 survey

A whole range of you responded from clubs all over the UK and abroad:

1-2 respondents: Albert (Au,) Bala, Bartley, Black Rock (Au), BRYC (Au), BSSC, Burghfield, Castle Cove, Chew, CNuty, Dalgety Bay, Datchet, Draycote, Exe, Frensham, Grafham, Greystones, Largs, Locks, Monkstown Bay (IRL), Netley, None, Notts County, Oxford, Parkstone, Port Dinorwic, Queen Mary, Red Wharf Bay, RWYC, SN de Geneve, Starcross, Staunton Harrold, Sunderland, Teign Corinthian, Ullswater, Weir Wood, Weston, Weymouth, Whitefriars, Windemere, WSV Giesbeek (NL), WWSC20 (D) 
3-5 respondents: Gurnard, Royal Brighton (Au)

Please take care reading the results to question 25 because the bar chart is misleading

I think this will make excellent discussion material for your AGM on Thurs (before your curry meal included in your entry and the Otter Brewery sponsored Games Night!)
