All the information you will need to help you get your entry forms filled out for the Plymouth Vision Nationals 2009.!
Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th july will see the first ever RS Vision Nationals take place as part of the Port of Plymouth Regatta.Judging by the interest shown at the last open event at Herne Bay, we already have 6 boats confirmed. Great news.
We have dedicated boat parking spaces at the Mountbatten Center in Plymstock -(70 Lawrence Road Plymouth, Plymouth, PL9 9SJ, United Kingdom, 01752 404 567)and for £12 extra per day (£24 for the weekend) the changing rooms and slipway are ours. A short 10 minute sail gets us out to the start line in the middle of the incredible Plymouth Sound. The Dolphins will hopefully be there again to swim alongside us at the start.
Accommodation locally comprises B+B's and camp sites. For those doing the weekend, that could only be one night if leaving early on sat morning to get there. It takes just over 3 and a half hours from Portsmouth (along the coast) and 3 hours from London (M4 West and then M5 South at Bristol)and if, like Matt and the entire family, you maked it from the east coast the night before, it takes about 5 and a half hours (M25, M4 and M5)It is well worth it.
