This is an ideal opportunity for anyone that wants some help or advice, to talk to and be guided by some of the more experienced helms and crews. Apart from the bar bill, it need not even be too expensive as I believe there is onsite camping - perhaps this can be confirmed Rich? You also have a new website section all of your own, which can be found from our home page: Training and Non Hotshots! I think Pete is going to try and help get this going. There is already some content that seems to set the tone of what may come - alongside the tips and advice we all seek, of course. So its now down to you all - get stuck in and give Burton a try. Send some training requests to Ben (by private message if you are a bit shy) and I am sure, weather permitting, it will prove to be a good weekend. | ||

Our biggest problem is our upwind ability. we are always lower / slower than those around us. However all points of sailing would benefit from some tuition so we will be happy with whatever the majority feel would be most beneficial. Cheers, Richard | ||

Setting up the boat for the conditions with an explanation of what exactly you're trying to achieve with each of the controls. Then the race itself. So starts, upwind technique, spotting the shifts, better tacking, getting around the windward mark smoothly, downwind technique, spinnaker gybing, leeward mark rounding and I'm sure there's still a lot I've not even thought of. So, not much then!! Frankly any advice gratefully received. We'll be happy to go with the flow. Any info on camping would be useful. We'd be aiming to get there Friday eve. Cheers Iain | ||

I've spent a bit of time pestering my betters for info and I've sent Tony a couple of articles based on emails sent to me by Jason Lunn on Downwind gybing technique and also by Adam Kenny on upwind in a blow. Hopefully these will help a little on basic techniques. At the moment, I really don't think I'll be able to make the Burton trip, it would be immensely useful if you could write up the learnings afterwards and post them to Tony to put up on the site. Anything and everything will be useful. Cheers Pete Pete GBR 8419 | ||

Having a game plan on specific controls For example, how do you manage the relationship between between kicker and shrouds on flat water might prove a good focus for feedback sessions etc. Soz not to be there. see you all at Carsington. Cheers, CW Charlie W | ||

If possible try and get this work done before the training, it will save time and also will make all the other bits more meaningful once the boat is easy to sail. Definitely can't make the training, however hopefully Iain will try and write up a bit of a report afterwards and we'll put it up for all to see and learn. Cheers and have a great time Done - Tony [ Edited Tue Mar 23 2010, 03:22PM ] Pete GBR 8419 | ||

Joined: Mon Mar 01 2010, 08:57PM Posts: 8 | Hi Guys There are plans to do a session on basic rig set up in the evening. There will also be a session on sail controls. The stuff posted in the training section is great but a demonstration can be off real value. So please do look it up and have a go before burton if you get the chance, but if not no worries. Ben | ||

If you can be there, you will benefit!! I will send out mails to the Newbies that I know, Scott, Ian, Iain and Richard, plus a few more. Please spread the word to other 505 owners, whether they want to take on the likes of Ian, Andy and Charlie or improve their club sailing or just have a blast in a fabulous piece of kit without tears!!

 Joined: Fri Nov 07 2008, 07:56PM Posts: 41 | ok so it's now under a week away! Who is planning on coming down/up for it so we can get an idea of numbers? Alot of work has gone into this to ensure everyone at every level will get alot out of it. Last year we had 22 5ohs turn out which was great, shall we look to beat that?! I hope so. Remember the Ross Kenney Memorial Race is also being sailed this weekend, with Charlie and DC unable to make it and defend the title, it is anybody's! Hope to see everyone there! | ||
