UK Dinghy Racing
______________

This is the first issue of the Newsletter and I hope to produce one a month, with possible extra issuse during the summer when there is more sailing activity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both the Newsletter and the site are non commercial, I do this as a hobby in the evenings and weekends.

The aim of the site is to entertain like minded people who have a passion for dinghy racing or sailing. I have tried to keep the site as specific as possible, ie UK not worldwide although the info and chat may be of interest to many. The listings of Sailing Clubs and Class Associations are purely British so there are no hugh lists of useless links to try and find one useful one.

On the question of links I have spent many hours searching for the UK sites but am sure I have missed some, so if you find any relevant ones please send them to me.

Fantasy Sailing Championships

This issue sees the launch of Fantasy Sailing Championships a new competition to predict the most successful British sailors over the 1998 season both at National and International events.

Entry is free on the site http://www.dingyrac.force9.co.uk

This competition is just for fun, no prizes just the fame and glory!

You are required to pick a team of top helms for the season, who will collect points over a series of events by finishing in the top 6, a bit of skill, maybe, and plenty of luck required.

Enter now as I may have to close the book if numbers get too large!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Free Space

One area of the site that has proved very popular is the free space for Clubs and Classes.

Several have already entered information and I have created a page for them. With over 1500 sailing clubs in the UK only about 50 have any listing on the web. If your club does not have a web site please ask the officers and send me the details, just a basic outline will get useful info onto the web and may attract new members or make it easier for Open Meeting attenders to find you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Free Ads

Just remember that should you wish to either sell or buy sailing equipment or boats then this section is free so nothing to loose.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please Contribute

I am keen for the site to include information from a number of authers so if you would like to write an article, gofaster tip, submit a photo for the gallery or make any other contribution then please email me and I will include it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you feel any friends would like to visit the site or view the newsletter then please feel free to forward this to them.

Many Thanks
Roger
