Appreciate that swallow yachts have had a busy year, and not all "good" (fire).

As 2019 season closes, and winter approaches, any thoughts on a Summer 2020 event in the West country...ideally Mylor?

There are several 2020 events scheduled already....

BRe # 52 - "Two Sisters"  2016. Plank sprit, conventional jib. Asym spinn. Coppercoat. Honda 5. SOLD Nov 2022....
...From Oct 22.
BC 26 #1001. "Two Sisters 2", 2013. Alloy spars, Bermudan Sloop; fixed twin spade rudders, Beta diesel saildrive. Lift keel with lead bulb. Coppercoat. Cornwall UK.

Is this happening?  I see that Jonathan has posted some dates in the events section (29/6 to 3/7) but I can't find details of it anywhere else.

 Further to my original post of sept 19.
I saw the dates appear on the events section, but have heard/seen no more.

Have made no attempt to follow up; unfortunately I'll be working at that time...again.
Maybe next year?

Yes definitely planning on going ahead or at least I hope so as we have booked a place and paid a deposit!
Cheers,

I found this in the news part of the yard's website http://swallowyachts.com/swallow-yachts-2020-raid/

Lara told me that it's already fully booked, with a waiting list. I think some sort of mail shot was sent out soon after the previous raid finished and was sold out very quickly!

"Lara told me that it's already fully booked, with a waiting list"

Disappointing; and for several would-be raiders I would assume?

Do we need to get on to some sort of list....maybe for 2021?


I hope to get down to watch Falmouth Classics this year, but perception is that a BRe does not qualify to enter; I'm not arguing with that, what with my carbon Bermudan rig, asymmetric etc.
I think a standard BR (arguably much more a "spirit of Classic" - at least in looks?) entered last year, but results now don't show boat class, only owner.
TimLM would be OK!

I had an email from Lara a few days ago saying that the raid has been cancelled for obvious reasons,
