Pegasus 194 and crew intend to be at Netley; we also are happy to host a Pegasus or Pegasus and cvrda combined meeting at Whitefriars next year.
As far as age goes, all we need is an Osprey sailed by a crew of three as was designed...

In the past we have just put the Peggies off with the rest of the fleet and then worked out the results at the end.
I would presume we would do the same unless we got quite a few boats....say at least 6.
This may of course be quite possible.
the last time we sailed Jollyboats as a fleet at Uffa Fox centenary we only got 4, but at Fairey 50th we had 12 or so boats turn up with I think 8 racing together on one day.
Actually they weren't together much as we had quite a range of 'state of tune' from my boat, which then was totally original with wooden mast etc....right through to one boat with new fully battened main and twin wire.
cheers

Rupert,
I spoke to David about this yesterday. Current plan is 2 races saturday. 3 sunday and prize giving. Then Monday will be free for Cruise to pub trying out each others boats etc.
Its a shame it clashes with term time but thats the trouble with water that keeps going away and coming back again and it taste funny...... but not as funny as Shearwater
I know the Hornets have had trouble booking their event at Netley this year. Luckily David got us in first.
Next year we are back to Roadford so we should be ok for holiday times again.

\rupert,
I had an email from el comode Roger on this very matter yesterday. The bottom line is that 'we aim to serve'....... which means that as of now the format is still flexible enough to be turned into whatever the CVRDA would wish.
That said, I'd seen the programme developing as follows:
Club Open Friday.....or even Thursday night for the really keen bunnies, so that people can sail on the Friday should they so wish.
Kick off the event with two races Saturday pm. For those that have blown their discard the party then takes on an extra significance (a bit like a Hornet open in the old days Alan!).
BBQ/Beer, then a Fancy Dress (and yes, to figure in the results this will be mandatory!) live music bash with the theme of 1965.
AGM Sunday morning, whilst we're all hung over and not wishing to talk too much.
3 short races.............Prize Giving late afternoon, so that those who can only do the weekend can get away.
Monday then becomes a fun event - a 'cruise in Company' to a location that will probably be determined by the weather.......Hamble maybe, Calshot or Lepe.....Cowes even (though that is a fair old sail) - where ever, beer will be available for those that have recovered from Saturday night.
How does that all sound - comments?

Sounds good. I take it that as well as hangovers, the AGM is being planned to run when we would otherwise be trying to sail on mud?!
All I have to do now is find out if Kathryn wants to sail Saskia with me, and therefore find a sitter, or if I'll be spending my evenings putting a Skol Moth back together...

By the way, I'm reliably informed that this is actually the first weekend of the school hols so it should NOT be a problem.
Of course, Schools Out......howled to fame by Alice Cooper, won't be a part of the Saturday night 'blast from the past' as it is 1972, not 1965! (cor, that's a bit close to home!!).
Come on in - the water's lovely!!

And 25th for us...
Neil has a very good point - If we are lacking time, I'd rather see a 4 race Nats with a decent amount of time for a sail past/boat swapping/admiring than a 5 race nats with nothing else, which would be rather against the ethos. Of course, 5 races and time for everything would be better!

I'm very much of the mindset that as this is the main event of the year for the association then we can do pretty much what we like (within the confines of the water being tidal..... hours of darkness ........ the bar being open etc etc.
Sailing photograher Eddie Mays will be invited along for a photo session so that would tie in with a 'sail past'.
do you want a pursuit race to replace one of the main races?
