Chipstead Comet Open    Sunday September 22^nd 2019 

Chipstead sailing club is holding yet again an Open Day for Comets and we are happy to extend an invitation to other sailing club’s Comet owners. We plan to hold 4 races throughout the day with a 11a.m. start, so please arrive in good time to avoid rushing to change, to sign the usual declaration form stating possession of valid insurance, your boat number and sail type. We will have a pre race huddle at 10:30 a.m. to discuss race course and answer questions.  We have up to 25 Comets owners of both sexes at Chipstead, therefore plenty of competition for all skill levels.  We will stop for lunch and hope to be all done by 4:30 latest. The Open Day will be shared with Firefly & Enterprise fleets. Race course will be set on race day subject to wind conditions. The club will be open by 9AM to allow visitors time to familiarise themselves.

Guest boat owners on arrival will be able to drive down to the shore and deposit their Comet for the duration. We would thereafter appreciate all cars to be quickly moved up to our own free extensive carpark some 20 metres away. It would be best to be kitted out and boats to be rigged by 10:15a.m.

We would appreciate the entry fee of £10 from each Comet owner on arrival.

In terms of facilities available on site, Chipstead have changing rooms with hot showers. The Galley in our club house will be open all day for teas and hot meals available for a modest fee. We hope to close the Open with some cakes and prize giving.

Please let us know of your interest.
