If you need it I can help with the sail measurement as i am UK based, just let me know.
The Belgium Euro-Micro is a good event and a nice way to meet the other crews.

Lucy

Phillipe
I know about your event, and have looked at the map and spoken to one of my sons about possibly crewing. It also clashes with a Blaze event, this one the Inland Champs at my home club. We'll see..... Peter H
(and then there is all that foam to put in, and sails to measure)

The Belgian Euro-Micro regatta will be the 30th edition this year, and we'd like to invite not only top boats and top crews, but all those who are sailing at their level, national, regional or local, to thhis event.
Boats like K6 and K7 are part of our history. Speculations are too, like Gem's. And nobody remembers a Jones Micro 18 sailing on the continent.
You are all welcome on October 18th-19th on the lake of Plate Taille in SW Belgium - welcome on site from October 16th, see http://maps. microclass. org/platetaille. html, the notice of race will be published soon.
Crews are expected from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Latvia, Russia, Spain... maybe UK... and Kazakhstan.
Just for fear anyone is looking for a week sailing against another Micro (Microchip, K7) I thought I'd mention that I've entered the second week of Straights regatta, sailing in Class 1, at the bottom of the speed range, sailing off PN 1038.
I still hope to make it to Stour for the Open, although the logistics of that and the re running of the Blaze Nationals at Stone the next weekend are a bit difficult.
And having down graded from Commodore to Rear Commodore at Queen Mary, the offer of a Nationals for next year is still open, although one of the midland resevoirs may be more central. Nobodys keelboat launching can beat ours.
The upgrading of the boat continues, and almost everything works now. Does anyone have experience of fitting the jib jam cleats on the cabin top?
