Cabin Fever?

With severe winter weather forcing the cancellation of the planned Christmas Regatta at Strathclyde Loch today we all have a chance to enjoy festive fare in our own homes for once.  However if all this time trapped at home beside your roaring log fire is leading you Topper sailors to Cabin Fever there are still some sailing events planned if you know where to look.

First up is the Royal Tay Yacht Clubs legendary Boxing Day Bonanza which takes place on the river Tay at Broughty Ferry on (yes - you've guessed it, on Boxing Day).  Watch carefully and check the club web site though as this is another event which might well fall to further snow.  www.royaltay.org

Next up is the traditional New Years Race at Largo Bay Sailing Club which is planned for January 2nd at Largo Bay in Fife.  Further details are included below and as always - check the website or phone a club official before you travel.  This one may be cancelled if the beach is inaccessible due to snow or ice.  http://www.largobaysc.org.uk/

Finally, don't foget the ITCA (GBR) Winter Regatta which is planned for Datchet Water Sailing Club on 29th and 30th January 2011.  Enter by the 14th of January via the class website on www.gbrtopper.co.uk
, if you race a Topper you can pay your annual class subscription at the same time please.
