BWA UK Wave Tour is hotting up

by Nigel Treacy, Tour Director, Chairman BWA on 28 Oct 2014 The final and biggest event of each year in the BWA calendar is hotting up with wind forecast from Friday and through the weekend. We are urging everyone to book online NOW as places are going fast and we will be capping numbers.

HQ for this year's event is the Bluff Inn, Phillack Towens, TR27 5AF. The provisional sailing meeting point will be the car park next to Sunset cafe postcode TR27 5BT but be sure to check on the day.

With a solid forecast, the PRO fleet is now confirmed to run Fri 31st Nov to Sun 2nd Nov. All Pros must pre-enter before closing time which will be 9pm on Thursday. If you are unable to pre-enter you must call Nigel on 07977419283 before 9pm on Thursday evening.

All Pros must attend the first skippers meeting which will be 09.00hrs Friday morning at the Gwithian Towans Car Park, TR27 5BT (near Sunset cafe).

All AMS fleets will run Saturday 1st Nov and Sunday 2nd Nov only. Due to previous over-subscription we recommend pre-entry to secure a place and get the discount. AMS online registration will close at 21.00hrs Thursday night. If you are unable to do this there may be an opportunity to enter on Friday evening 8pm-10.30pm at the Bluff or call Nigel on 07977419283.No late entries will be taken on Saturday morning i.e. don't turn up in your PJ's wandering around Gwithian car Park asking 'is there a comp on ere mate?'

An Event Pack will be published online on the BWA website listed below. In addition we will endevour to email these out to all entries. We will not be publishing packs as hard copies so make sure you access and read the contents.

In readiness for 2014 we will be trialling our coloured rashy system. No more attaching streamers to your kit, the beach crew will be issuing four different colour rashvests depending on your heat making it easier for the judges to spot your moves on the water.

Pre-Entry here. Pre-entry entitles you to a discount on the entry fee but don't forget you will still need to register at the event before competing.

All sailors need to be a member of BWA/UKWA. This can be done here.
