Dinghy Sailing on the River Crouch - 2024


 

What looks to be a very busy sailing season for dinghies on the River Crouch will start this weekend with the Easter Regatta, hosted by Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, a two days, four races event, with 15 boats expected to compete, event open to members of all Burnham clubs.


In a continuation of the efforts started in the second half of the last season, the main three Burnham sailing clubs, Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, Royal Burnham Yacht Club and Burnham Sailing Club, along with Creeksea Sailing Club, are jointly organizing a season long Sunday Series, open to members of all clubs.


Talking about the arrangement, Adam Prior, dinghy class captain at RCYC, said: "The aim is to increase the competitiveness of dinghy racing on the river Crouch and, by sharing resources and decreasing costs, to make sailing more accessible.


The Sunday morning races are going to be hosted by RCYC and RBYC for the spring and summer series, between Easter Weekend and Burnham Week and by BSC, for the autumn series.


RBYC will be hosting the annual Whitsun Regatta, "a spring-time extravaganza of racing and social events, open to all, held over three days", between 25th and 27th of May.


The Saturday spring and summer series, the RCYC Super Saturday, has the first two races scheduled on 20th of April, followed by 18th of May, 15th of June, 20th of July and 17th of August.


The midweek series, hosted by Burnham Sailing Club, is scheduled to start on Tuesday, 9th of April and will continue during the spring and summer and is sprinkled with a number of trophy days.


The very popular Tuesday night laser sailing, instigated by the legendary Ant Law, will be making a return, with the short races moved to Thursday evenings during the summer.


Burnham Week is shaping to be a busy week for dinghies, with the Bank Holiday weekend geared towards family sailing, John Torrance Trophy in the midweek and with a newly established trophy, The Ditch Cup, to be awarded at a ceremony hosted by BSC, on Town Cup day.


RCYC are scheduled to host an RS200 open, on 21st and 22nd of September, just 2 weeks before the RCYC Endeavour Trophy 2024, scheduled between 11th and 13th of October.


The autumn/winter Saturday series, the RCYC SnowGlobe, will commence on 16th of November, followed by 23 and 30 of November and 7 and 14th of December, to be followed by the last event of the year, the RCYC Icicle Series.


Nacra 15 class at the RYA Youth National Championships 2024


 

Eighteen Nacra 15s will head to WPNSA this weekend head of the RYA Youth National Championships, with five days of racing scheduled at the London 2012 Olympic venue to decide the 2024 RYA Youth National Champion title, as well as counting towards the UK Nacra 15 National Series and Nacra 15 European Super Series!


Seven international teams will join eleven British entries, including sailors from Australia, Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands, competing for the opening round of the Nacra 15 European Super Series.


The racing in the British fleet is closer than ever, with a productive winter training programme narrowing the gap between newer and more experienced teams. The U17 pairing of Marcus King & Matthew Emerson have shown strong form in 2024 so far, taking the 2024 UK Nacra 15 Winter Championships win on countback from Tom Jones & Maddy Jinks. Earlier in March, the UK Nacra 15 coaching team organised a coached racing series at WPNSA, where the rivalry between Marcus & Matt and Tom & Maddy remained strong, this time separated by Finn Caddy & Ella Harris and with the podium places separated by just 4 points. As recent results have shown, race wins and podium results are up for grabs throughout the fleet, so we can be sure to expect some close racing and tight score lines across the 18 race series next week!


As part of the Sailing Chandlery UK Nacra 15 National Series, Sailing Chandlery will support the event with prizes for the extracted GBR results, as well as supporting a new prize for the 2024 event - the Sailing Chandlery Social Media Competition. This prize will be awarded for the best social media output during the week, as judged by Sailing Chandlery founder, Andrew Dowley, and UK Nacra 15 Class Communications Officer, Ben Harris. To be considered, all sailors need to do is tag @nacra15_17gbr and @sailingchandlery in their posts, reels and stories, giving an insight into the week-long event from a Nacra 15 sailor's perspective.


Stay tuned to the UK Nacra 15 Class Association social media channels on Facebook and Instagram for updates throughout the week, as we set up for an action packed week of youth multihull sailing at WPNSA.

The 2024 World Championship will feature a World Sailing sanctioned 'Para' category for teams consisting of two sailors both with World Sailing Minimal Disability (MD) Para Classification status at the time of the event. The event will also feature an 'Inclusive' category which is aimed at increasing opportunities for participation by disabled sailors whose disability does not meet the Para Classification criteria. Teams wishing to enter the World Championship in this 'Inclusive' category will need to self-certify that at least one sailor in each team is a sailor with a disability.


Registration for the 2024 World Championship can be completed via the dedicated online event entry portal on the RSSailing.club platform. A Notice of Race (NoR) document and other useful event-related information is available via this platform.


I want to thank James and the Rutland Sailing Club team for helping to put this event together in a very short period of time and I am sure that everyone coming to this event from within the UK or further afield will not only feel very at home at the venue, but that teams will also come away for the event with lots of new ideas on how to continue their work in growing inclusive sailing activity in their club, country or geographical region.


These are exciting times for the sport of sailing and, on behalf of the RS Venture Connect Class and RS Sailing, I am proud that we continue to champion inclusive sailing in our day-to-day activities. I look forward to seeing everyone at Rutland Sailing Club in September."


Hannah Stodel, Para World Sailing Manager at World Sailing commented: "We are really excited to be supporting the RS Venture Connect Class World Championship this year as they come to the UK for the first time.


As we step forward into a new World Sailing strategy that focusses on Inclusivity, it is really positive to see classes like the RS Venture Connect embracing the change, and putting in fantastic efforts to support and grow Para and Inclusive sailing. RS is one of the manufacturers of Para and Inclusive equipment that are truly stepping into the development of Inclusive racing and have been instrumental in keeping the development of our sport at the heart of their activities.


Having Rutland Sailing Club host this World Championship has also been fantastic, and I'm so grateful that they are giving their incredible club to the sailors as a platform not only for this competition, but also the Inclusive Development Program.


We're looking forward to some truly inclusive racing and of course seeing the Para, the Inclusive and the class World Champions crowned."


Speaking on behalf of Rutland Sailing Club, James Sainsbury, the General Manager stated: "We are really excited to have been approached to host this event. We look forward to welcoming you all to the best inland sailing in the United Kingdom."

Co Fermanagh man’s epic sailing journey in memory of four friends who died by suicide


 

 A Co Fermanagh man is taking on an epic sailing journey which will see him travel the whole way around Scotland and Ireland in memory of four friends who died by suicide.


Retired outdoor education instructor Alan Currans is to take to the seas next month in memory of the friends who died between 2006 and 2015.


Wanting to give back to a local charity which has provided support to his friends’ families, experienced sailor Alan will be raising funds for the Aisling Centre in Enniskillen.


The 2,000 mile sail will see Alan traversing around the remote Orkney islands before completing a full lap of the island of Ireland.


" I’m planning to start at the end of April, start of May from Rossnowlagh, three of the families would still have holiday homes there and for my three friends it would kind of be a spiritual home for them.


“So I thought it would be nice to start from there, from then I’m going around the north of Ireland and Scotland, to Orkney, where I’ll come back through the Caledonian canal.


“I’m going to do a full lap of Ireland then and back to Rossnowlagh.


“I haven’t worked out the total distance yet, but it is around about 2,000 miles. It’s a challenge because of the distance and a challenge because of some of the passages that have to be made.”



Exeter University wins RYA National Team Racing Championship


 

A team from Exeter University has claimed overall victory and the Prince Philip Trophy at the RYA National Team Racing Championship 2024.


Twenty-four of the best teams from the UK circuit comprising 144 sailors in total battled it out in Firefly dinghies at Spinnaker Sailing Club (23-24 March).


With blustery conditions on the Saturday, a hectic 110 races were completed.


Squalls, accompanied by hail, resulted in a shift to cutdowns in the middle of the day, making for some difficult sailing as the winds eased towards the 5pm cut-off.


The Sunday then had colder but sunnier conditions and a return to full sails for the completion of Stage 1, with each team having completed 10 races.


The fleet split into four leagues for Stage 2, with Elmside Neighbours, West Kirby Hawks and George Jesters finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd to qualify for the semi-finals.


Fourth-placed Southampton Green meanwhile faced a sudden death repechage against Exeter Blue, winners of the Silver League.


This went to Exeter Blue with finishing positions of 1,2,5, producing a semi-finals line up of West Kirby v. George Jesters and Elmside Neighbours v. Exeter Blue.


Exeter Blue beat Elmside Neighbours 2:0 while West Kirby Hawks needed the third and deciding race against George Jesters to go through to the final on a 2:1 score.


The petit final might have gone to three races, but for a black flag incident on the final beat of the second race, which saw six penalty points added to the Jester's score, giving Elmside Neighbours third place on a 2:0 scoreline.


In the final, defending title holders West Kirby Hawks had an early win against the Exeter Blue team of Ollie Meadowcroft & Katy Jenkins, Jamie Tylecote & Cally Terkelsen and Freddie Fisher & Gabby Clifton.


An impressive comeback, however, saw the team from Exeter University then taking two wins - 1,2,6 and 1,2,3 - to claim the championship and the Prince Philip Trophy.


The event followed on from the previous weekend’s RYA/BUSA Women’s Team Racing National Championship, also hosted by Spinnaker SC and won by a young team, with Royal Hospital School claiming both the Under-19 prize and overall title.


Spinnaker SC’s Operations Manager James Oborne said: “The club is really happy to have hosted both these national team racing championships and we’ve had two great weekends of racing for more than 200 competitors across the two events.


“It’s also been fantastic to have new teams competing and taking away trophies, with the next generation and some very good young sailors coming into the sport. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back for more events in the future.”

RORC EASTER CHALLENGE RETURNS FOR 2024


 

Held over the Easter Weekend The RORC Easter Challenge is designed to kick-start sailing teams for the racing season.


Held for over 20 years, the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s training regatta offers a fantastic opportunity for World class coaching which is complimentary for all entrants.


Mason King will once again lead the coaching team, with Ian Walker and North Sails experts providing on-the-water coaching, as well as video debriefs after racing on Friday and Saturday.


World Sailing Rules on outside assistance are relaxed, so for no additional cost to all the teams, hand-picked coaches provide pin-point assistance to get crews of any level up to speed.


3 days of racing are organised in The Solent from Easter Friday to Easter Sunday with courses designed to practice boat handling and performance over a range of sailing angles.


To date over 30 yachts have entered this regatta, mainly in the IRC 2 class, so there could be some exciting sailing to watch for anyone heading to Cowes over the Easter Weekend.


Island-based yachts and crews will have the chance to hone their skills for the coming season and there will be Easter Eggs up for grabs at the prize giving.

Sailing taster sessions will help fund youth expedition


 

Arran Junior Sailing Club (AJSC) is to host a Come Sailing Day fundraiser which will allow 10 young Arran students, aged between 12 and 17, to embark on a sailing expedition with Ocean Youth Trust Scotland.


The Come Sailing Day will take place at Lamlash pier on Saturday April 13 and will offer taster sessions, a charity car wash, hot drinks and home-baking.


AJSC has partially funded the 10 students’ seven-day sailing expedition with Ocean Youth Trust Scotland, however, additional funds are still required.


Steve O’Flaherty of AJSC explained the benefits of the expedition which will take place in July: “This experience will develop the youngsters’ sailing and navigation skills and expand their transferable skills in teamwork, leadership, problem solving and communication. These are skills that will navigate them far beyond Scottish waters.”


The taster sessions on Come Sailing Day will comprise four one and a half hour sessions and will cost £50 per person.


Guests can use one of the club’s two Wayfarer dingies to go for a joyride with an instructor or the club’s six Pico sailing dingies which will also be available for solo sailors who have some experience.


Steve continued: “No matter your skill level, you’re invited to partake in our unique sailing experiences in the calm waters of Lamlash Bay. Every contribution will support Arran’s young sailors in their upcoming seven-day voyage with Ocean Youth Trust Scotland.


“If you can’t attend the Come Sailing Day, any other support, such as a small sponsorship or raffle prize towards our fundraising efforts, would be really appreciated.”


All boats, wetsuits, safety equipment and life jackets will be provided. Booking or sponsorship can be secured by contacting via email Steve O’Flaherty at steve.oflaherty27@gmail.com

420 Inland Championship at Rutland Sailing Club


 

32 teams from across the country descended on Rutland SC for the 420 Inland Championship, the last opportunity to get some racing in before the Youth nationals in two weeks time.


With seven races planned across the weekend in the sixth race, finishing 6th for Noa and Gabs gave them the Inland Championship title with a race to spare. The pack behind was tight tough with everything to play for. Going into the last race Arwen and Matthew were just ahead of Tilda and Charlie with Joe and hennin just a couple of points back in 4th.


With the sun finally making an appearance Pat Bromilow sailing with Thomas Kelsall took the final race in style closely followed by Arthur Greaves and Angus McEwen. Arwen finished 3rd to secure 2nd overall, Joe and Hennie 4th to give them the final spot on the podium just ahead of Neil and Haydn.


Noa and Gabs impressive win is the first major title for an all Female team for a number of years - an outstanding achievement. Behind them the top 10 was packed with mixed teams. A great indicator of the strength of the UK fleet especially following the GBR 1,2,3 for the mixed teams at the recent San Remo Carnival event.


Next stop for the fleet is the RYA Youth Nationals at WPNSA - ISAF Youth Worlds Selection event and Europeans Selector 3.

Yacht club’s St Aubin base to have £3.3m makeover


 

MEMBERS of the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club have voted for a multi-million-pound redevelopment of their “structurally tired” clubhouse in St Aubin.


The partial rebuild, which would see the creation of a new ground- and first-floor extension with improved facilities and dining areas, was one of three redevelopment options presented at the club’s recent annual general meeting.


A summary report presented to members ahead of the meeting explained that, beyond routine maintenance, the existing building was “structurally very tired” with both construction and electrical work needed. It added that, due to “the success of sailing”, improved training, changing and storage facilities were also required.


“The time is right for members to consider options to carry a fully inclusive yacht club forward into the future,” it stated.


“The additional space offered by option three provides for two potential training areas, improved and extended showering facilities and increased storage space.”


Building a new “purpose-built” club was also among the options presented to members, but the partial rebuild – estimated to cost £3.3m – proved the most popular, receiving 62 of the 129 votes cast.


In an email to members, commodore Jeremy Swetenham said the vote did not “commit the club to further expenditure”, but that it “will define the option that will go forward for more detailed feasibility and fundraising. The work starts in earnest now. It will be a long and complex journey and is highly likely that it will be at least two years before any works can begin.”


He explained that the next phase of the project – ahead of the club’s 2025 AGM – would see a feasibility study assessing building works, fundraising and profitability.


Mr Swetenham added: “The option plan told us that, to start and complete this phase, we collectively need to raise £170,000.”

Liverpool Yacht Club completes another successful Brass Monkey Series


 

In the first quarter of 2024, five races were sailed in the LYC Brass Monkey Series with the last raced on 24 March. 15 yachts competed in the IRC and Venture fleets (NHC) crewed by 125 sailors over the series.


It was a mixture of winds and temperatures, at least one race required the crews to clear the ice off the decks before starting.


All races were sailed in the Mersey with at times strong spring tides. Starting with a five tidal stream pushing the fleet across the line is a skill that must be mastered as well as knowledge of the Mersey's changing tides.


The eight boat IRC fleet was dominated by EAZI TIGER with bullets in the first three races. Second place was taken by MAXINE III in the final race with NO MERCY coming third.


In the Venture Class which had a diverse fleet of seven boats including a J109, a motorsailer and a ketch. It was YNOT which led from the start of the series followed by LILLEBOLERO and BOJANGLES.


Looking forward, our next race this weekend which is the Easter Bunny, Race and Bake, where a yacht's race time is adjusted by the standard of their baking during the race. The Race Officer not only has to run the race but also judge the baking. So far, there have been no requests for redress on the Race Officer's judging. I am not sure the RYA rules casebook covers this. Next, we move into the LYC Spring Series.
