Having just sailed in the Access Autumn trophy today, i have a few questions which i can’t find the answer to;

When I asked the RO if the start gate was to be avoided downwind (as it was a windward leward course) – i was kindly advised to look at the sailing instructions. I haven’t seen any SI’s for the individual race, and having looked at the one’s on this website, i also can’t find the answer. Can anyone shed some light on this, as i can’t see the answer. Any help much appreciated?

Also are additional details on the course to be supplied on the committee boat? Only i didn’t see any details apart from ‘windward leward course’ written on the blackboard on shore. Are we to assume a port hand rounding and use of orange inflatables for all trophy races?

Any help for future races appreciated.

Ian Kennedy passed away yesterday morning after a long and painful illness.
A true “Ian day” with clear blue sky and a lovely sailing breeze was a fitting tribute from the weather.
I knew Ian in his post sailing days and enjoyed many times with him catching the sunshine and peace in a lovely part of the world being Thorpe Bay Beach and that is how i shall hold my memories.
Ian being one of the longest serving members of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club always took a very keen interest in its affairs and was alway able to help with the history of members and events.
Thoughts are with the family and especially Margaret who has seen far too much pain and suffering and been a real saint.
once funeral details are known i shall let you know.
