Reign in Spain..




Ever had the feeling that you are about ready to take on the world? Only problem is you really only get that feeling just after the last race of a major regatta?

And with the (probable) plus 100 boat European Championships in Switzerland in August it would be a shame if that was to happen again right?

Now however there's an event at Pro Vela in Mar Menor, Spain where you can get in shape, have fun and do yourself justice when it counts.

Here's the press release. I hope to see you there!

The Theory:

A week of Moth sailing where the focus is on having fun and learning loads! Coaching and technique clinics from Simon Payne, and racing as it should be..... friendly and just great fun! Short course, slalom, long distance and speed with a flexible approach to ensure everyone has a great time! With a safe, warm, learning friendly environment where the motivation from the organisers is an event for Moth sailors by Moth sailors!

The Venue:

Warm, Flat water, great sea breezes in the afternoon and awesome onshore facilities. Plentiful flights from all over Europe, accommodation types to suit all pockets and all within easy reach of Northern Europe!

The costs: In the region of...(very dependent on numbers) £600

Includes: Return boat shipping from one point in UK, 3 days Coaching with Simon Payne, Boat storage in security compound, and all on-water activity /racing and anything else we can pull together as we gather momentum and attract sponsors....

The other costs are:

4 *Hotel right next to the centre from €38.50 pp/ night

Bunk room accommodation at the venue from €9 pp/ night (limited availability)

At this stage of planning we have all sorts of possibilities...a truck driving down Europe collecting boats? Family rates in the hotels and apartments? Extra training days?

3 minutes would be enough for me! After that the boredom factor would set in!

You should come, and if you get bored you will understand the feeling we get hanging around after the first race waiting for you to finish...

You don´t mean me with the waiting? ...ha ha..
But don´t you worry, I am planning to come and to bring a few German friends. Should we pack beer into the Container?
