Hi all, just a quick follow up from our commodore’s welcome post to honer our new world champion!!!

During all the excitement of these type of events it is easy to forget the tremendously high level of sailing required to compete. Having competed in many world championships in my life I think it is fair to say on both ability level and psychological level, such events are like your best club trophy race x 10.

With this in mind I would personally like to congratulate Ronny the “Rocket” Barns for his achievements as Sam Husk quite elequently put it “Mixing it up at World Level”

Well done Ronny I am sure you would have liked a better result. I also know you are very capable sailor, as your pre-worlds results proved. I look forward to your account of the experience in the Bar back at sweet old TBYC!!!

Dan is flying back this week and i would like to invite you all to join in celebrating this fantastic achievement and welcome the Musto Skiff World Champion Dan Henderson and fellow competitor Ronny Barnes back to TBYC.
lets all raise a glass  for a World Champion.
this thursday 20th Jan 7.30

Bar and kitchen are open from 6,

Hi yet another quick update!!!

Day 3 kicked off with Dan Henderson giving the other competitors a leason in sailing, leading the race from start to finish.

The fleet were then sent in due to weather and did not return to race course until late, where Dan experienced a couple of higher results which has just toppled him off the top spot. However talking to Chris Hederson this morning he told me that for an unfortunate slip in race 7 Dan was just short of the finish in 4th.

Also second discard kicks in after 9 races with 2 days to go!!!

Keep up the good work Dan

Late notice, I know, but I’m down to crew on Jan 23rd on SS7 and unable to because of travel commitments. I would suggest swapping, but cannot make any of the other dates set for the Icicle Series.

If anyone can help, I would be really grateful.

Hi all, Good news from down under. Dan Henderson still leads the world!!!

Day 2 Report hot off the press from dan

Dan & Ronny

Day 2
At the start of the day, it looked although we would be getting about 5 knots from the east, however the wind wouldnt settle and we were kept onshore for a quick postponement. When we finally got out onto the race course, there was around 16-18 knots, but very gusty and flat water. I had An aweful start at the committee boat end but tacked out to the right for some clean air. When merging back into the boats from the left, I was in about 5th position and this is where i rounded the windward mark. I was supprised to be so far up because all the guys infront of me are alot heavier then me and should be faster in the big breeze. I was the first to gybe into a huge gust that i had seen going down the right hand side of the course. When coming back to the leading pack, i was 1st. I rounded the leeward mark in 1st, however upwind 3 of the heavier guys came past me, which i wasnt too upset about because i know that if i keep putting in consistant top 5 results, thats what can win you a championship. The final downwind was very scary. We had 25 knot gusts and flat water, so boat speeds over 20 knots were recorded down wind. I finished the race in 4th, and this was the only race of the day as we had thunderstorms, squalls, and alot of rain come through for the rest of the day.
Tomorrows forecast is simular to today, so basically we will get anything!

Well done dan impresive first 2 days in mixed conditions and consistent results, with 4 races completed and a 2, 2, 3, 4 score line go TBYC!!!
