http://www.flying15.org.uk The new Sponsor for the Northern Travellers Series is Waples Wines. The 2012 Waples Wines Northern Travellers Series, following lessons learned from the earlier years of the Traveller Series, will continue as a four event format with the addition of Bassenthwaite who are currently in a growth phase in place of Bala.

In fact the first event will be at Bassenthwaite followed by Ogston, Burton and Dovestone for the final event and prizegiving.

Two events are needed to qualify for the Series. This means that for sailors from the host clubs, only one other open meeting after their own is necessary to qualify.

The results are taken from each open meeting, however for the Traveller Series, as the event is targeted at regular local sailors and not the “hot shots” from the National fleet, the top 15 ranked boats from the 2010 national qualifying series are to be excluded from the results (but not from the events themselves).

A change from the early years, this year the open meetings will be run as a handicap series based on the classic, Silver and Open Fleet handicaps approved by the class.
