By popular request, (which means Sammi told me to do it) I have added the list of currently advertised Scottish laser traveller dates to the front page of this post. It is now to be found in the navidation bar to the right of the page under the various olympic and supporters logos. This is not the official list but is a straight copy of the dates currently advertised in the official list. Hope this proves helpful.

News from the Youth Nationals
Scottish Radials are mostly at Hayling Island this week for the RYA National Youth Championships and Trials. Radials are the largest contingent of Scots with the whole squad presenet plus Ian Symon and Rosalind Dunlop.
It has been a very mixed week for all with widely variable winds. Qualifying was sadly curtailed with only three races sailed on day one in a fresh South Westerly of 18-20 Knots. Day two seemed perfect to us but the OOD disagreed and we spent the day with abandoneent after abandonment as the race committee chased the shifts. For those in the second start of the four flights it was particularly frustrating as the only action all day was one warning signal followed by a Preparatory and then a postponement with about 30 seconds to the off.
The championship racing got underway with the fleet in Gold and Silver fleets. The first day had been predicted to be light but agin the weather proved unpredictable with races one and two in around 16-18 knots and then the third in around 10 knots.
Thursday has been a lighter wind affair with many shifts but fortunately this time the OOD had realised we came all this way to race not give the race committee practice for the Olympics next year and three satisfactory races were completed for both fleets.
Sorry I am unable to post more often. For up to the minute updates please watch the official event website via http://www.sailracer.org/
