On behalf of the Hurricane 5.9 Association I would like to extend a big thank you to TBYC. This years Nationals was said to be the best ever, this was due to all the hard work done behind the scenes. Thank’s to Jo and the catering staff for feeding us all, many of the sailors mention how good the food was. To Gordon and Lorraine and the lovely bar staff for serving lots of drinks, I believe from Nick Elmore, the bar nearly ran out of beer. To the sailing committee, especially to Chris for sorting out the results every day. To Phil Crawford and his Race officers team, working in extremely hot conditions and setting good courses. Big thanks! Tony Clarke and the guard boat crews for your hard work, especially on the Saturday in windy conditions with lots of capsizes and masts down. To my team of event organisers, Kylie Jenkins, Wayne Miller, Pete Sherwin, Paul Palmer, Chris Hull and Andrew Hannah. Thanks for your help and support.  To all the club flag officers, Pete Thompson our Commodore and Nick Elmore, Vice commodore, thanks for support. To our prize sponsors, Hyde Sails, Spartan, AW sailboats and Towergate Mardon insurances. To the Hurricane 5.9 association committee and entrants, who made this event such good fun. Finally to Little Max Duce, who did a stirling job sorting out all the trollies and helping the sailors on the beach. Cheers Struan Wallace, Hurricane Treasurer.

Congratulations to our New Narca Uk Open winners, This weekend, TBYC have a double celebration. Nick & Kyle are the new UK Nacra F20 and David White & Crew are the New F18 Narca Uk open champions. I hope the notice board has lots of room for all the new entries from the cat section. With testing conditions at Weston SC on Southampton water, Narca held their UK Nationals, Well done guy’s and see you on home waters soon. Cheers Struan

Two more Nationals titles for T. B. cat sailors were awarded at the 2009 Nacra Nationals at Weston S.C. Southampton Waters last w/e 7th&8th November. David White (“baby David”) & his crew Jon Sweet won the overall Nacra classes title in his F18 infusion against hot opposition. The decision not to go clubbing on Saturday night was wise guys & my lack of snoring was a blessing for all in Nicks camper.
The winners of the F20 Nacra class title was of course Nick Elmore & Kyle Stoneham.
These latest trophies must make it an all time club record for catamaran nationals titles in one year. The “S” Factor springs to mind!
Seadog Glenn.

Kyle Stoneham decided not to defend his Inland Sprint 15 National title at Grafham last week end (he wanted to but you can only sail one boat at a time unfortunately!). Instead he opted to join up with Hugh Styles at the same venue & & compete in the F18 Inland Nationals sailing a Nacra Infusion. Some very hairy racing especially on Sunday created eventful situations for all competitors but guess who came through to win? Team Styles & Stoneham are the 2009 F18 Inland National Champs.

David & Kyle had never sailed a spitfire together before untill the Nationals at Minnis Bay S.C. on the 9/10/11th October just past. To come 2nd in a fleet of 22 boats including the top spitfire veterans is a special achievement & there is little doubt that had they been involved with the boat, kindly lent by that oldsea dog Pete Thompson, for a few months competitive practice we would have another pair of catamaran National Champions at Thorpe Bay. Well done guys.
