You can enter online by selecting the entry form in the menu to the left of this text. Please note that online entry will close at 2359hrs Tues 16 June by which time you must have paid your entry fee. Entry and payment after this time will need to be made at registration on Sat 20 March and will be subject to a late entry fee of £5.
In order to speed up registration Parkstone YC have agreed that your online entry covers their Entry Waiver form. You must therefore read the form
here. If you are under 18 you will be required to fill in an RS Class Assoc under 18 form at registration (this covers parent/guardian permission, medical issues and photography permission). I have attached the form
here because if you wanted to be super efficient you could print it off and bring it already filled in and signed to registration.
Please ensure that you read the full Event Notice which can be found by selecting its title in the menu to the left of this text.
Please note that in accordance with RS Class Association Rules in order to be eligible to race at this event you need to have one member of the RS Class Association in your RS boat. One event membership costs only £10 and can be added to your online entry. If you upgrade to full membership within this calendar year your one event membership £10 will be taken off the £39 full membership fee. You will need to print off the one event membership form found in the menu to your left and bring it completed and signed to the event registration. You can take out full membership by clicking
