New Cadet Racing
This Sunday is our next session in the ‘New Cadet Race’ Series.
It looks like good weather, both sunny with some wind. It is a late start, so I will make it a 45 minute race. You should be packed away by 8.33 pm!
I do hope to see you Sunday.
- The new course is aimed at all Cadets who can sail and to wish participate in a race with a shorter course, more laps over a reduced time.
- There will be prizes for the older cadet as well as the less experienced sailors. A coach in a dedicated Support Rib will support the races.
Races will be raced under the TBYC Sailing Instructions. http://www.tbyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/TBYC_2015_SI.pdf
Your guide
Cadet course
- There will be an optional briefing at 18.30 (1 hour before start.)
- The race will be a windward leeward course starting at the committee boat. It will be the second start with the Fast and Slow Monohulls at 19.33. (Time plus 3 minutes).
- First check the number of laps on the blackboard at the top of the slipway and / or check with Support Rib on the water. Your race does not use a shortened course.
- Once on the water, go to the Committee boat and look for the last number on the BACK of the boat, which indicates D on the diagram / or check with Support Rib on the water.
- On the starting signal, you will cross the line and beat to the CADET BUOY, which is a special buoy marked with a C. This will be your windward mark.
- Check whether a Red or Green flag is displayed on the Committee boat; Red leave marks to port, Green leave marks to starboard.
- Run or reach down to the course. You must NOT go through the line on the downwind leg (as in the sailing instructions).
- Beat up through the line and onto the Cadet buoy and continue until the displayed number of laps are completed.
- As you cross the line the committee boat will record your time. They will not give you a signal. The Support Rib will blow a whistle unless is needed elsewhere.

Unfortunately some Cadet Pico Sailors were sailing in last Saturdays evening series afterwards misplaced there black and white jib. It is believed to have probably been put in another persons sail bag, if you was around that evening could you please check to see if you have it or if you found it in the dinghy park. They won’t be going very fast two up with only a mainsail. If you have any information, contact Penny Allard on 07810707910.

We have considered the wind strength, the youngster’s safety and enjoyment and have set our own course.
The course will stay this side of the pier, using TBYC No. 15 buoy as our furthest point.
The start will be with the main race at 13:03 (second start, Flag K Yellow and Blue).
There will be a briefing at 12:00 with Nick Alston, when the course will be confirmed.
The race will
be supported with a coach in a Rib.
The actual course will also be written on the Blackboa
rd on the Bosun’s Hut.

The sailing committee discussed and agreed that the postponed Yantlet Trophy should be resailed on an appropriate weekend, but after ensuring that the circumstances for that new day were acceptable for such a long race without detriment to any other possible racing.
Therefore the Yantlet Trophy has now been rescheduled for this Sunday, amended sailing instructions are in the following link.

3 Lasers traveled to Fishers Green Sailing Club on Saturday 27th June and were greeted with bacon butties, hot sun and a gentle breeze. There were 20 boats entered 7 of which were visitors. They have a large lake with numerous islands to navigate around which made for challenging moves down the runs to see which side of them to go. Local knowledge prevailed here big time as the wind shifts were massive, and getting on the wrong side of one cost you many places as i found out to my cost a few times ! This really is a lovely small friendly club who were very appreciative of us attending, i really would recommend it as one to do again next year. Well done to Chris Tillyer who scored a 2,3,2,3 to secure 2nd overall from the club hotshot.
I had a 10,8,7,6 for 8th overall, and Jeremy Doran had a 13,12,13,15 for 12th overall, and is improving at every event he attends.
