Why not blow off the cobwebs and burn off some calories after Christmas by taking part in the Grafham Grand Prix on Sunday 29 December?
This year we have a new 3 track format and we have been careful to make sure that all catamarans can take part and are included in the most appropriate start with only asymmetric and very fast Cats doing the windward - leeward course and others like the Dart 18, Sprint 15, Prindle 15, etc doing the trapezoidal course. If we get a good breeze cats can do very well and if there are 8 or more cats in any start they will get separate prizes. The starts are as follows:
COURSE ALPHA – WINDWARD/LEEWARD
- ASYMMETRIC MONOHULLS (handicaps 695 – 1185)
- ASYMMETRIC AND FAST MULTILHULLS (handicaps 644 – 958)
- Foiling International Moths and RS600FFs
COURSE BRAVO - TRAPEZOID
- FAST NON ASYMMETRIC MONOHULLS (handicaps 888 – 1070)
- MEDIUM NON ASYMMETRIC MULTIHULLS (handicaps 784 – 986)
COURSE CHARLIE - TRAPEZOID
- SLOW NON ASYMMETRIC MONOHULLS (handicaps 1077 – 1204)
- SLOW NON ASYMMETRIC MULTIHULLS (handicaps 987 – 1160)
