Notice of Race and Entry Form on the following links for 6th – 9th August 2016:

Hurricane Nationals 2016 Entry Form v2

Hurricane Nationals 2016 Notice of Race

Last Sunday after finishing the Sprint 15 Open, I unfortunately misplaced my Downhaul.

It was on the boat when I took the sail down, therefore I lost it somewhere between the beach and the dinghy park.

If you found it I would appreciate if you would let me know as it is a surprisingly expensive part and required to sail the boat.

It is very similar to the one in the attach photo.

Thanks. Paul Morgan 07741 201052.
