On Sunday our Racing (Petal Plate) coincides with the Southend Half Marathon, however as long as people turn up reasonably early you should not be affected. the important times are as follows:
09:25 The Seafront will be closed to traffic, therefore if you are not parked by the Dinghy park by then you will have to park on local roads.
09:35 Movement of boats from the Dinghy Park to the Beach will be stopped. Soon after 2000 runners will be entering the Seafront, so please don’t think you have the right of way after this time. Why not get your boat on the beach and then get changed.
After the racing there should be gaps in runners to allow boats to cross, marshalls should try and help. Although I would suggest we should be giving way to runners.
12:30 The road reopens to get your car back out of the Car Park.

This bank holiday Sunday is the Ladies, Crews and singlehanded races. These will be 3 separate general handicap trophy races sailed from a mass start at 15:30. The helm of each boat should be as the name of the trophy suggests; a lady helm (single or double handed boats), any double handed boat with the usual crew helming the boat, or a single handed boat racing as normal.
There should be something for all, but if you are not covered by the above classes then let me know and we will ensure you can race on the day.
enjoy the weekends water

We have had a brilliant weekend training on Seasafe 3 and Seasafe 5 and have six newly qualified powerboat drivers. Congratulations to Andy Noden, Andrew Webster, Tommy Holmes, Mark Robinson, Oliver Ellis and John Laliberte.
We also enjoyed welcoming our two new RYA Powerboat Instructors, Martin and Jourdan Swindon, who did a great job teaching.
Well done to you all!

Apologies to everyone but I have not been able to find a Race Officer for the Pico Racing tomorrow so unfortunately I will have to postpone them until the 30th of May when we will try and fit them all the remaining races in. Once again apologies for the late notice but I wanted to see if anyone was available. See you on the 31st
