Anybody need a crew?

Published by under Racing

Hi , I’m looking to get back into sailing/racing preferably cats as a crew for someone. I’ve been too busy with work and school to make time to come down. I’ve been sailing since I was 8 and have sailed a range of boats, from cadets to crewing for a couple of seasons on a Spitfire. I’ve done Exams are over soon and I would like to do as much sailing this summer.

Thanks,

Alex

Sexy Fast Cats Crews Wanted!

Published by under Catamarans,Racing

Dear Boys and girls of the fast cats section. Now I have your attention, I’m looking to Kick start the racing again at the club and would value your opinions. Please can I get all your email address so I can send out reminders and also find out if you are needing crew. We have a thriving club at TBYC , lets use it.

Any sailors, old or young who fancy a go on a high flying projectile. please get in touch for the ride of your life, Sorry Barry, we saw two Sandhoppers trying to replicate at Cat, not fast but very funny.

Open meetings for fast or slow cats are a great way of improving both racing and social skills, if anybody fancies going to a meeting, please let me know as we can help with de-rigging etc. and possible transport to the event. On the last Bank holiday this Month, there is the “Hurricane Nationals” at Stokes bay on the south coast and also a Cat open. Several boats from TBYC are planning to be there, the more the merrier with a great social atmosphere. See you soon. Email: [email protected]

Well done to Paul Clarke for launching his new Sandhopper Nemises on Saturday evening, Paul launched with Toby under the cover of darkness to ensure none of us could take a look at his new machine, Nemises performed very well over the races on Sunday and Monday and I’m sure will be up in the chocolates at the Nationals, keep it up boys.

The Nationals are at the end of this month, to download the notice of race and entry please click on the link.

2nd Indicator Trial – Datchet Water

After the 1st Indicator at Rutland being “snowed off” the Inland Championships were moved to be combined with the 2nd Indicator at Datchet. It was a very important event as the selections could have been won or lost at this event.

Saturday arrived with a nice force 3 and a steady breeze which is rare at Datchet! The first race finished with the boys in 5th place – solid and where they wanted to be, but consistency was going to be the key. The 2nd race saw them improve again and finish in 2nd place which was fantastic. They were equal 2nd place going into lunch. The afternoon only got better with a 3rd place and then that all important win!

However the wind failed to turn up at Datchet on the Sunday and despite several attempts, racing never got started. Although this played in to the hands of our boys, it would have been nice for them to have had a crack at extending their lead which by now was clear by 8 points.

Both of the lads sailed brilliantly and rarely put a foot wrong. A credit to the winter coaching from Mike Macnamara and his team, not forgetting all the great coaching and training of Alex last year by Ollie Herve!

3rd Indicator and final selection of the World Team is in 3 weeks at Weymouth. I couldn’t be happier with their position going into this event and ever hopeful that they will continue in the same way!

In the meantime they were crowned “Cadet Inland Champions 2008”
