Sailing Programme 2012

Results and Reports


We plan to be back to Bewl  in April for the first event of the 2012 Catapult catamaran sailing season, where we shall be racing alongside their club fleets. (The details below are provisional)


There will probably be 4 races (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon), and the first start will be at 10.45. The best three results of the four races will count towards the event and our TT Series.

 The sailing fee will be £15 (including the Catapult prize levy) and we hope Cliff or Jo Antill will be the CCA liaison persons for the event.

There is some club sailing scheduled on the Saturday, and in the past it has been possible for Catapulters to enjoy a free sail then on this lovely reservoir set in a wooded valley. However, if you wish to do so, it is advisable to check with the Club Manager, Vince Nunn, on 01892 890930 beforehand. To find out more about the club, their website can be found at    www.bewlvalleysc.co.uk

Cliff and Jo should be able to get permission to park their motorhome overnight at the Club. Should anyone else wish to do similar (only those in motorhomes or caravans, not camping or requiring any facilities), they should telephone Vince on the number above to obtain permission and arrange access.

Other accommodation can be found through the Tunbridge Wells tourist information centre (01892 515675, www.bewlvalleysc.co.uk).

Bewl is set in the picturesque Weald of Kent with pretty thatched villages set among wooded hills and orchards, so you can build an excellent long weekend around the event. There are lots of stately homes and gardens in the area, like Scotney Castle, Hever Court, Penshurst Place, Bateman's, Sissinghurst Castle and many more. Or you could have a night on the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells (an in-joke for Kentish folk).
