Merlin Rocket National Championships, Looe 2008

17th - 22nd August 2008

Come and join in the fun!

The organisation of the Looe 2008 Champs is well underway, and the committee, with much help from the Looe Sailing Club, are doing all that  they can to make it a brilliant week of sailing and socials for you all.

The week will kick off on the Saturday with scrutineering and settling into your accommodation.

The sailing will begin in earnest on the Sunday with Race 1, and we hope to fit in 8 races over the 6 days. 

An assortment of entertainments have been laid on for your delight, and for those of you not sailing we have added some extra information on other things to do in Looe!
