Bow Numbers - UPDATED INFORMATION

It is important that all boats sail with the bow number that has been allocated to them by the Class.  A list of allocated bow numbers is attached to the event page.  Please ensure that you have checked your bow number before entry to the event and that this is used on your entry.  Given that this is a Selection event and Bow numbers are used for results this is really important.

Boats sailing without the correct Bow Number may not be scored for those races.

NOTE: The Class will no longer supply bow numbers, these need to be purchased/obtained by the boat. 

A new page has been set up on the website providing you with all the information you need to know about Bow Numbers: 

Bow Numbers and Bow Number Stickers (gbr420.uk)

Measurement Certificates

At the Winter Championships all competing boats will be required to produce upon registration, both their World Sailing/ISAF Measurement Certificate and their valid RYA Measurement Certificate for inspection. If these could be in named folders that would be appreciated and will make this process a lot simpler. These will be returned to you later in the weekend. Digital copies will be accepted as long as these display all pages.

Volunteers Needed

We have a number of roles that need filling; please use the attached form to sign up to volunteer for a role.
