New Cadet Racing – Sunday 12th July 2015 – Start 19.30
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.

Missing Black and White Pico Jib
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.

Laser Open Meeting
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.
