To all sailors entering the Tera open on Saturday I will be doing a short ‘pre briefing’ on Friday evening @ 19:30 in the sail training room (or outside if it is warm!). This will be focused around sailors for whom this will be their first ‘open’ meeting and will cover the start sequence (Start order, Flags and some starting tips!) a few basic rule pointers and some guidance on the course to be sailed. We would like to encourage all levels to enter for the racing on Saturday.

The Endeavour is fast approaching! It is a one day Championship to pitch the best of each fleet against each other in a one design class.

This year again, the class of choice is the Sandhopper. It’s easy to sail and can involve the crews in the event. This year crews will be sailing against last year’s Sandhopper National Champions: Chris and Ken Clarke.

We do hope that people will accept the challenge in the spirit of the event and take part. If you can’t be there please speak to your class captains.

This year’s invites are:

Finn – Allen Burrell – Accepted Challenge

Sprint – Gary Sverdloff & Andrew Hannah – Accepted Challenge

Hurricane – Julian Reichert & George Warrington

Windward/Leeward – Nick Elmore & Andrew Wood Accepted Challenge

Laser – Chris Boshier & Dominic Speller Accepted Challenge

Cruiser – Paul Farrall & Alex Farrall – Accepted Challenge

Cadet – Winner or Cadet Week – Assisted by Alex Warrington – Accepted Challenge by default!

Sandhopper – Chris & Ken Clarke – Accepted Challenge

Single handed classes may select a crew from within their fleets.

Please let me know your acceptance of the challenge by email to mailto:[email protected]

We are also offering Zip Up Hoodies in Navy and Dark Grey. (I am afraid they do not come in the Pink option)

Saturday 18th June meeting at 13.30 on the beach rigged and changed

Andras and Mark D will be offering an additional small group session for up to 8 cadets who are transitioning to Piranhas for Cadet Week or who Piranhas who have not been on the water this year. If places remain they can be allocated to any cadet who expresses an interest.

Nice to see Sandhoppers making it into the press for a mention by Sue Pelling regarding Burnham Week: https://www.sail-world.com/news/250150/?source=rss

On Sunday 12 June 2022 , Havens Hospices will be holding the Southend Half Marathon Event . Full details can be found in the attachment.

Access to the grass  car park will be prohibited from 08.45 – 12.00. If you are in the car park before 08.45am you will not be able to get out until after midday.

Racing on 12 June starts at 09.30am so most of you will have crossed the road by the time it is closed, otherwise please take notice of the stewards and give way to the runners.
