You’ve waited for it, you’ve asked for it and at last it’s here, come on and sign up for your Winter racing at the North side of the Thames Premier sailing venue.

Please note entries and payment must be in by 17th October 2010 so we can allocate dinghy park spaces.

DON’T FORGET this is an open even, so if you want to get some Winter training in with a buddy from another club get them to enter too.

Fancy doing Race officer this Saturday?

Chris Boshier — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:26:03 +0000

Hi All, Charles unfortunately has other commitments this Saturday and Elaine isn’t up to doing race officer and assistant all by herself, so anyone inerested in getting up early and running a race on Saturday, please get in touch with either myself or Chris Hull who’s the duty officer.

Thanking you in advance

Thank you from Andrew Hannah & the Sprints

Chris Boshier — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:07:10 +0000

As Sprint captain, I would like to express my thanks to all who helped rescue Ian and Anita Douce last saturday. I didn’t learn the full story until I saw the Douces at church on sunday morning. I knew they had been rescued, but didn’t know how.

Special thanks to Chris and Paul Clarke, who jumped into the water to help them. They then sailed the Sprint back to shore. A further note of thanks to Steve Hopper who gave assistance.

The wind was light when they set out. But it steadily strengthened to F4-5. Too much for beginners. Beach cats are fairly stable. But Ian fell overboard, rather than capsize. The Clarkes forsook their own racing to assist others who were in trouble. A noble act indeed. Thanks to all.

Andrew.
