Down to Devon this weekend, to Paignton Sailing Club, for the 2008 Topper Nationals sponsored by Magic Marine.
Paignton SC is just under 300 miles from Southport and is expected to take about 5 hours, yes 5 hours to get there, (with a following wind and no traffic jams). This means a long journey on the Friday night or a very early start on the Saturday morning.

NOTE: Most major championships are held on Paignton Green at the end of the seafront, in which case you should offload your boat there.
Usually there will be a 'beach marshall' from the Club to guide you.
If you arrive the evening before, then there will probably be someone at the Club.
