MISSING RIB KILL CORD LAST SUNDAY 13th

Published by under Club Notices,Racing

Last Sunday 13th, we were unable to provide one rib support cover due to a missing safety kill cord. The rib key, as normal, was in the box within the race officers hut, but no safety cord attached.

Could I ask that anyone entering the race hut either it be as race officer or safety crew etc, please cast an eye to ensure all keys and cords are there in future. If keys/cords are missing/damaged, please inform a sailing committee member ASAP so that it can be replaced in time for the next race.

Remember that these support boats are essential for your safety.

Thanks

Simon

Cadet AGM

Published by under Cadets

Hi all,

Thank you so much for the positive messages of support last night and welcoming me into my new role.

I know you will all agree that I have a tough act to follow, Rupert has done a fantastic job and I am very grateful that he has agreed to share his wisdom, supporting me as I settle into the role.

I am really looking forward to the next year and hope that with the support of my fellow committee members and most importantly from all the cadets we can have a fantastic year. I would like to thank Johnno Gillies and Matt Waters for offering their assistance and also to Ellie Kilkelly who has agreed to represent the girls alongside Max Duce for the boys.

With the ongoing support of Debbie, Steve, Mike, Chris, Toby, Mark and Nick I am sure we will deliver an exceptional years sailing and entertainment.

If you want to ask any questions following last night or have any ideas or suggestions please email me on [email protected]

Thanks again, Mike

Ovington Inlands – Grafham Water

Published by under Racing

3 Thorpe Bay boats braved the “killer shrimp” at the Ovington Inlands last weekend at Graham Water.

Dan Henderson and George Hand finished a superb 4th place taking on some of Britain’s Olympic contenders scoring a 1st and two 2nds in the 49er fleet. Miles and Mason Burrage came a very credible 7th out of the 15 strong fleet, really looking good out there in the 16-20 knot breeze.

Newcomers to the 29er fleet this year, Alex Farrall and George Warrington placed 24th overall in the biggest fleet of 62 boats. Their 1st event after a few weekend training sessions with the RYA pre TT squad and they were very happy with their efforts.
