Hello All,

I am organising a charity event and thought I would let you all know about it!
Its a Pier-2-Pier race from Eastbourne to Hastings Pier.

It is to be held on Friday 21st July (the day before the Eastbourne Extreme festival) and will run from Eastbourne to Hastings pier (or Hastings to Eastbourne depending on wind direction), which is about 13.6 miles as the crow flies.
Its open to all wind-powered craft, but I reckon the fleet will be mainly windsurfers, kitesurfers and dinghy sailors. Format is simple - first past the finishing pier is the winner! Full safety boat cover will be provided (3 boats).

Due to safety concerns, the number of places is very limited - only 25 places are up for grabs.

Each sailor must raise/donate a minimum of ?جø¬?200 in sponsorship per person and this money goes towards the race logistics and a charity donation to the British Heart Foundation.

Event rashies will be supplied and we are hoping to get some good PR.
If you are interested in knowing more about the details of the race, or would like to register to compete, then visit my website here
