Dear Sigma 38 Cowes Week Competitor

We hope you are looking forward to some excellent racing at Cowes Week. We will be racing in IRC this year but there will be a dedicated results service extracted for boats racing in our one design fleet based on elapsed time. These results will be for the Sigma 38 class trophies and will contribute towards the Grand Champion result. So we get two races for the price of 1!

 

Sigma 38 Series

 

Sigma 38 Class results will be for the Saturday to Friday races. On the last Saturday you are welcome to continue racing in the IRC handicap event but this will not count for the Sigma 38 class results – this is done to allow the Sigma 38s entering the Fastnet race a day to turn around their boats.

 

Crew limits

 

As for previous years the class association has increased the Sigma 38 OOD crew limit to TEN for Cowes Week.

 

Daily Prize giving

 

There will be an opportunity for all Sigma 38 crews to get together each night in the Sail for Gold Bar at 7:30. They will be donating a bottle of champagne every evening to be awarded to the crew whose exploits have most impressed/amused the rest of the fleet! See you there!

 

Wednesday night BBQ

You are cordially invited on the WEDNESDAY night to Shepherds Wharf where the Class Association is organising a Sigma 38 BBQ - tickets must be booked in advance.

 

This will be a great evening, plenty of food from a celebrity chef (Paul Bloxham), dancing until late.........! Tickets are £16.00 per head.

We must have your confirmed bookings, confirming numbers together with a cheque by 31st July.

 

Please email Karen Goodhew to confirm numbers: karen.a.goodhew@btinternet.com

Cheques should be made payable to "Sigma 38 Class Association" and sent to
