The Supernova is a
"one design" single handed sailing dinghy of 4.3 metres length with an
8 square metre fully battened mylar sail and stayed mast. It was designed by Mark Giles and is constructed from GRP and foam sandwich by Hartley Laminates in Derby.The Supernova has recently gone through a new incarnation with the introduction of the MK II Supernova. The hull is the same but the main difference is that the deck now has an open self-draining transom. Sail number for the MK II start at 1000.
If the Supernova is new to you the general introduction will
be helpful.

Anne and Mark Giles
At the AGM held at the Inland Championships a vote was taken to offer Mark and Anne Giles Honorary Life Membership of the Supernova Class Association with the titles of Honorary Commodores of the Association. It is with great pleasure that we can say that they have accepted.
A Famous boat!
This is in recognition of all that they have done for the class not only to Mark as the designer of the boat but to both of them for all the efforts they have made in making the Class such a success.

Inland Championships
Northampton SC
Sat/Sun 21st/22nd August
Congatulations to Mike Gibson in retaining the Inland Champs at Northampton SC this weekend attended by 36 boats. It was certainly a weekend of three halves. Race 1 was held in good rumbustious conditions. After lunch for races 2 and 3 the WindGuru forecast really kicked in and it was tough and incident packed. Sunday dawned quiet and sunny but incredibly shifty. Mike won the closely fought event without winning a single race and it was Cliff Milliner in 2nd and class newby Ian Morgan in third
