Chris Boshier – Contender Worlds – Brisbane

Published by under World's

Chris’ Dad , John Boshier,  has asked me to put this on the web page for him.

Thursday was the first day of the Contender Words events.

Prior to that was the Australian National Championships in which Chris participated in some of the races for experience – but the Worlds is what he is there for.

In the first race of the day Chris came 29  out of 60 boats entered.  Not bad.   Chris said he was doing better than that at the start.  But then had a bit of boat trouble that he could not rectify until the first race was over .

The second race went very  well  –  he finished  11th out of 60  –  pretty good !!!

Overall, based on these two races he is 15th out of 60.

Good Luck Chris.

Regards Dad. (John Boshier)

Worlds Championships finishes on the 11th Jan and he should arrive back in the UK on 15th.

New Look Newsbuoy

Published by under Club Notices

Hope you all enjoyed the New Look Newsbuoy, we just need to thank Barry Duce for Co-ordinating its production and all the contributing committee and members who worked at very short notice on some very informative articles and pictures. Obviously it cost a little more cash than before, hopefully it was an enjoyable read and brings us a little more up to date.
Lyndon Nutkins designed and collated the first edition and i would like to thank him for burning the midnight oil for only a very reasonable reward.
Subscription Renewals are coming in at a very fast pace and i thank you all for making this easier on the Office by being so prompt. The 2010 Programme has gone to print and we should be posting this out with 2010 car park stickers mid January. Any Renewal queries please email

Enjoy the Snow

Contender Worlds – Good luck Chris

Published by under World's

For those that don’t know our Sailing Secretary Chris Boshier is out in Brisbane Australia for the 40th Contender Worlds. I heared from Chris on New years Day and he was pulling his hair out!; as of then team GBR still had not receiveid their boats!! They were 3000 miles from there intended destination held in a Malaysian Container park and being held up by Malaysian Customs. Although not yet confirmed by Chris Y&A have stated the boats are now there!!!
Chris is entered in the Australian (3-6 Jan) and World Championships (7-12 Jan) and so has had no practice since ariving there on 27th December. He would have had his first Race today 3-01-2010 (-10 hours approx).

I wish him, and team GBR the best of luck with the rest of the event and for those that want to follow his progress the official Contender Worlds web site is here.

Hi All, Just a quick reminder in case you have not been in the loop! TBYC’s Olympic hopfull Mark Asquith (TBYC Member) is currently out in the Bahama’s looking forward to the 49er World championships. This event is important to all olympic hopefulls in this class as it lasts to the victor for almost 2 years!!! being at the start of the year 2010 and the next worlds being in Perth Australia at the end of 2011. So who wins here enters in the the olympic selection event in Perth as no 1 prospect

The event starts on the 2nd Jan same day as the Frozen Sheet’s Race but I think the simularity ends there!!!

Racing starts on 4th Jan and can be followed on the following link http://www.49erworlds.org/

Contender Worlds

Published by under World's

Hi all – you might like to hear the latest on Chris and the Contender World Championships at Brisbane

You know that the shipping container carrying the eleven Contenders out to Brisbane got delayed and there was doubt whether she would get there for the start of racing – which was yesterday.

However everything just scraped through on time. We have not heard any results yet but at least Chris was in on the start

There is three days of the Australian National Championshps followed by three days on the World Champioships

If anyone is interested the web page for the reslts is www.contenderworlds2010.com.news but I can’t find any results there yet.
