Just when you have attended the Racing Rules night, World Sailing has now published the next version of the rule book which we will be using next year and into 2020.

The book is available at http://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/WorldSailingRRS20172020-[20946].pdf and by looking within at the right margin, a vertical line indicates a change, addition or deletion.

The majority of them are simple technical changes to sort out small problems found in the application of the rules. However there is a introduction of the term ‘support person’, those people that are with competitors (coach, parents, etc) who through their behaviours can now cause a competitor to have a penalty. There is also a further additional section around Gross Misconduct.

I am sure in the the next 6 months many of us will interpret all the changes in various ways.

Come and celebrate your Welsh-ness with like minded souls at TBYC 8pm Wednesday.

The bar is open 7pm.

Last week the final building at the Grain Power station was demolished leaving the way to start the next stage to bring the Chimney down. You can read more and see the video at Kent Online another demolition at power station/ . In the video the main demolishing starts around 50 seconds.

The comments in the above article also suggest that the Chimney maybe seeing its end in September.
