In July new Dart18's built in South Africa will arrive in the UK, these boats will undergo a quality control check by Bryher Mouldings and Windsport International. So by the end of July we can expect to see the first new Dart18's on the water. Unfortunately the amount of boats will not be the total amount of boat pre-ordered. The first batch of boats will be distributed equally over Europe. Later this year more new Dart18's are expected in the UK.

IDA is very happy with these new Dart18's and hopes that from now on we can built up the fleet of Dart18's again. You can get more information from your local Dart dealer, addresses on: www.windsport.co.uk

Afidart are proud to announce their 2010 Dart Nationals - Venue Quiberon - july 1st to 4th 2010.

New this year: we will run this event together witht the french nationals for two other classe: Spitfire and Mattia S.

Afloat: we will all be on the same sausage course but will not be disturbed by eachother. The Spitfire and Mattia will start first for three laps; dart will start 10 minutes later for two laps. This should bring us all together to the finish one hour later.

Ashore: more people, more friends, more fun, better parties !

Notice of race

why should we write it in english when it's so simple to do it in french ;-)

Nothing very special in there except that it will all happen on the water between thursday 2.00 pm, first start, and sunday 1.00 pm, last start. As usual, insurance required, boat within class rules bla bla bla

Accomodations:

see the attached doc (in english this time !). Maeva is the official partner to the event and offers the advantage to be in town .... near the pubs

Social Programme: (the most important)

It all starts on thursday evening with our "regions night" (or "nations night" for foreigners): easy principle: everyone brings some specialities (food or drink) from his area for a few Dart friends to share and taste. Ask your mates who have done that already: it does work !

France Cat's drink friday evening

Dinner and disco party on saturday (with lottery ?)

Prize giving on sunday ... all the standard and exciting stuff.

One thing is for sure: we won't let the Brits win it another time !

See you all there

The Afidart team

PS: attention: for those who attended the 2008 french Nationals it is not exactly the same venue ashore. We will be in Quiberon - Port Haliguen, NOT at the National Sailing School
