Hi folks, myself and a friend will definately be coming - but, which day would be the better day to come? Saturday or Sunday?

Also - if there's any of you Towing guys willing to offer some advice to a "beginner tower", i'd be greatful

(I realise tower is not a word

I fully understand and support that there will be some form of organisation and set of rules in place for this event but I'm curious how does this show work chaps? Do you have to be part of a weekend long organised club visit/display in order to sail a boat?
What's the protocol involved?
Is the Saturday night sail for invitees only etc.
Just asking for my own info.
Ta, Chris M

Everyone is very helpful when it comes to people wanting to get involved in tug towing and asking questions. iam still fairly new to it as I have been on and off doing it but if it wasn't for the help off the more senior "towers" I wouldn't have a clue what to do! Get yourself down there and am sure you'll get as much help as you need
