Cadet / Lark Open

Howard Warrington — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:17:10 +0000

Thorpe Bay Yacht Club succeeds again….. in holding another great open meeting. This time for a new fleet not seen at TBYC – the Larks and an old fleet resurrected with the Cadets.

21 Larks and 14 Cadets took part in the 6 race series open, superbly run by Alan Willis and his team: Sally, Linda, Lisa, Bev and Alix. We had superb weather and a great breeze which made for some fantastic close racing. I think all who saw them sailing, were very impressed with the Lark.

The Cadet event was won by Max and Francesca Ingall with an impressive (near) clean sweep! We wish them luck in Poland where they will be representing GBR in the World Team!

The Lark event was won by Steve Hall and Si Haigton from Northampton Sailing Club with 11 points.

I have to own up to forgetting to thank 2 other people who helped out at the weekend. Steve Hopper was out with his rib both days to help with rescue cover and was able to take some great photos of the sailing – thanks Steve. But also to Chris Boshier – who not only gave up his weekend’s sailing to sit on the beech as our “Beech-master” but worked with myself and Alan to prepare all the relevant paperwork for the event and entering the results – Thanks very much Chris!

Dan Henderson Musto Skiff Nationals Junior Champion 2010

Peter Thompson — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:14:54 +0000

Dan Henderson has just completed a very impressive nationals campaign in the Musto Skiff fleet at Hayling Island, with 74 entrants Dan finished 6th and first junior under 21 in this very competitive and technically demanding class of high performance single handed asymetric trapeze boat.
if you think you can sail then try one of these, just to get one to turn a corner is a great achievement having done a little bit of swimming alongside one on the odd occasion!
well done Dan

A couple of racing things

Chris Boshier — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:06:16 +0000

hi All,

I hope you had a great weekends sailing, I just have a copule of favours to ask to make getting the results put in quicker and easier for all.

1. If you’re the race officer and the office isn’t open or the duty officer isn’t around to hand the results to, can you put them in the green folder behind the bar which will save us hunting around for them.

2. Can I also ask that if you’re suing a sail with a number other than the one for your boat that you identify this clearly on the sign on sheets as it’s quite tricky to guess otherwise so your result might get accredited to someone else and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.
