As the sailing year rolls on, the nights draw in and the temperature, inevitably, drops some classes finish their Open Circuit. Not so for us. With the Suntouched D-Zero Inland Championships still to come on the 10th/11th October there is still time to hitch your boat up and have some fun on the water.
For more details on the inlands click here. There has been significant interest and at least 15 people have indicated their attendance with a others waiting on the forecast before they make a final decision.
It was originally intended to hold the class AGM at the Inlands. This has been postponed until the Grafham Water SC Training and Open at the end of November (official notice of AGM to follow shortly).
Also the SailJuice Winter Series starts in November. A number of D-Zero sailors have indicated they will be attending various events. More details can be found here. There will be more on this from a class perspective in the upcoming events for November.

The centre of the sailing universe needs to move more northwards for me to attend these meetings …. unless of course Rodney would pay for fuel, accommodation, appearance money and expenses to get more northerly attendees! I am afraid it’s more a time thing than costs. Time to trail to south of the midlands is another day over the event itself – so 3 days in reality.
Never mind looking forward to some Yorkshire and Lake District sailing and of course the whisky laden Scottish Nationals!

Hi Martin,
We hear you already. There will be a D-Zero northern rep who will be organising a northern circuit in 2016 to include Yorkshire Dales, Rossendale Valley (among others) and events north of the border. There are also fleets building in the Chester area at Shotwick Lake and a few others dotted around the north.
He has already agreed to step up and is laying the foundations already but until he gets voted in at the AGM it would be inappropriate to say more.
We also try to support the Lord Birkett @ Ullswater (I am hopeful of getting there in 2016 myself).
Cheers,
Paul
