is the start time on saturday really 10 o clock??? 40 mins to reach start area means leave the shore at 9.20 which means get there for 8.20 at the very very latest..... also, anyone know if there is any cheap camping nearby?

Cheap and the New Forest do not equate and you are likely to find Camp Sites full unless you pre-book even then you may be too late.

Not before 12.oo it says on the NOR!
Also accomodation links!

Why is the poster " . " so against Lymington? 

He seemed quite against us all going in the last topic too.

first start at 10 it says on the MR website fixtures list - which is correct? presumably the NOR...

Not against Lymington at all, but expectation setting is all to enjoyment, better to know your journey could be difficult than have an unpleasant surprise and miss the first race, as with accomodation, and car parking.
A welcome is assured as is a well run regatta.

I asked the club, and they replied as follows:-

"There will be a main briefing for all competitors at 11.00 on Saturday 26 September 2009.
 
"Six or more races are scheduled of which three constitutes a series.

"It is intended that races will be held back to back each day. 

"The warning signal on Saturday will not be before 1200 and the warning signal on Sunday will not be before 1000."

... and they've assured me this is absolutely correct apart from the date - which should of course be Saturday 12 September

Looking forward to seeing you all at Lymington. Will be on the protest committee with a special interest in rule 42!

That’ll be repetitive posting to promote or prolong your point then.

If you want to miss the Lyndhurst jam, then don't go down the A337 to Lydhurst. If your going west along the A27, get off at the M271 and drive along the A35 to Lyndhurst. That way you miss the lights going into Lyndhurst.

Looks good advice
