BTW if anybody is wondering about bringing wife and kids, but they are not that into boats.

There are other things to do on site. There is a big rope assualt course/adventure thing for the kids, the museum of slate mining is free, there are also a series of walks around the site that are all well way-marked (some with spectacular views. Not to mention the minature steam railway, and the Snowdon Star boat trips.

If you want to go a bit further, within a mile of the site there is Dolbadarn Castle, the Snowdon Mountain narrow guage train (yes two railways), Electric Mountain tours where you take a ride into the power station built into the mountain, free art exhibitions, Welsh mountain honey and icecream.

Hope you don't mind me butting in Dave.

Hi Stavros
This 8 min Omra boat race. 1 do you have a course set out.? 2 Do you have a lap counter system? If not I will bring one. Can you make it a 10 min race with a 1 min mill time start. The Max number of boats should be no more then 7/8 boats in a heat. Elf & safety ressons.
I take it all norm OMRA rules should be carried out at all times. Agian Elf & safety.
Cheers for now.

I volunteer for lap counting if required, unless Bill needs me to start and launch his boat for him.
