Poole Week 2008 and Wayfarer National Championships Parkstone Yacht Club will be hosting the Wayfarer National Championships as part of Poole Week 2008, Aug 24-29th. The racing will be the normal Poole Week format for Wayfarers, i.e. one good race per day, in the harbour around existing racing marks. This is not arduous and will suit crews of all levels. There will be a "pathfinder" RIB to show the way, for the benefit of visitors. There are six days of racing, one discard. Entry fee will be £75, or £60 for PYC members, as for Poole Week. There will be a late entry fee of £10. Download the Notice of Race and Entry Form and return the entry form to PYC with your cheque. Results There will also be a Wayfarer 50th birthday party on the evening of Saturday 23rd August, immediately preceding Poole Week and the National Championships. Please send your cheque to Jill using the menu order form (Cheques won't be cashed until after the event!)
