Sandhopper Nationals 2019 Part Deux

Published by Howard Warrington under Racing,Sandhoppers

We will be running the Sandhopper Nationals on the 19th/20th October and this will also incorporate the Final Fling Trophy. Unfortunately we lost the scheduled event due to high winds so we are looking forward to the re-run and hopeful of fair weather conditions!

If anyone is interested in joining us and taking part (there’s no club racing that weekend) please let me know. I am sure there may be boats available to sail. It will be a great event and as there’s no club racing, we’ll be able to hold it directly off the clubhouse so spectators will have a better view.

We are looking for volunteers to run the ribs. If you are free please let me know, my number is in the sailing programme.

Cadets: Matt Dear Trophy rescheduled and this Sunday’s training and CAKE Races

Published by Nick Alston under Cadets

Matt Dear Trophy at TEYC

Let’s give it another go! Saturday 12th October

I presume a 12-00 – 12.30pm start (tide is similar), but I will provide more details when I receive them.

Cheryl the organiser, has worked hard to reschedule this race. She has asked for two people to help the race officer, volunteers please.

Please could let me know by E-Mail if there are any changes, otherwise I will presume the same and forward this next Tuesday.

I will have a meeting the Friday before the event; 11th October.

I have not yet heard anything about the Interclub Race.

Cadet Sail Training and Racing this Sunday 6th October

The present forecast is for 21mph with 26mph gusts. This is too much, but hopefully this may change!

Presuming a change in forecast/wind………

Briefing; changed and rigged in the Sail Training Room at 15.30, on the water at 16.00.

This session is aimed at all abilities and will help our young sailors make progress with their sailing, racing and boost their confidence on the water.

Participating Cadets should be able to beat, reach and run, at least at a basic level, and be able to sail to and from the training area.

We are have the CAKE Competition to finish the season, see here: https://www.tbyc.org/cadets/cadets-matt-dear-race-at-teyc-cancelled/ or below.

Cadets – Matt Dear Race at TEYC Cancelled

Published by Nick Alston under Cadets

Due to winds of 21+ mph with gusts of 31 to 33 mph the Matt Dear has been cancelled.

I have not yet heard from the organisers of the Interclub Race on Sunday, but as the forecast is for even higher gusts, I presume they will also cancel.

I am not advising any Cadets to sail in these conditions.

The meeting this evening (Friday) is also cancelled.

I will be taking the Cadet Training/Races the following weekend, 6th October. This is last one of the season, so I intend to make the final races something special. It will be the CAKE Competition.

I am therefore, asking for any parents, possible with their child’s help to bake a Cake for the event. We are looking for a total of 4 cakes, which will be presented to the winners, who will then share with everyone else! Please let me know if you can help?
