Thanks Phillipe, I am not quite ready yet to pop over the channel. Need to get better equipped as far as towing is concerned. 1 A new trailer. 2 A new car. (That in itself could take a while.
Looks very interesting though and I will definitely be up for it once I get all that sorted.
Regards
Terry

Anyway, you are always welcome to continental regattas, like the Micr'Eau d'Heure in Belgium, October 16-17th
There are opportunities to...
meet competitors from France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Ltvia, Russia
find a second-hand boat, or sails
have your boat checked for measurement (no exclusion, just warnings !)
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in having a Microclass get-together at some stage. Perhaps a race or just a cruise to get started.
If anybody is interested we could start discussing on this group about a good place to meet and somewhere nice to sail to for a day sail or something.
I can try to arrange something at Greenwich Yacht Club in London or anywhere else that might be more convenient if others have any preference. I am hoping this could become an annual event and that others might try to organise something similar so that we can have a few events every year at some stage.
If this takes off I might have to look at getting a decent trailer for my boat and would appreciate suggestions of somebody who can tailor-make a trailer for me that will be light, adjustable and with brakes at a very decent price.
What do you guys think. At least we can start talking about it.

Not sure that I am. I have a car. It is too small to tow the boat. I have a trailer, in a poor state, not fully roadworthy. I have a boat, some of the buoyancy...

Hi, To be honest Burham is a bit of a trek from here and time available would probably preclude it for most in a Micro. All of us live in Manningtree or close...
