Shanklin Sailing Club

The entry form for the Sport Nationals at Yaverland can be downloaded here: http://www.sprint15.com/events/EMS/even ... m_2017.pdf

North Devon Yacht Club are threatening to bring 13 boats. We need double that from Shanklin as the bare minimum.

The event is across 3 days starting Friday 19th May. There are two discards so if you can't make the Friday you can still have enough results to count.

At the moment NDYC have more entry's than Shanklin.

Maybe people don't like racing against the two National Champions.

Oh hang on...

We have 40+ catamarans at Shanklin and 9 entries for the Sport Nationals.

Instow have 10 entries.

Come on peeps. Price goes up on Saturday.

I will pop my entry in Erling's door this morning, under duress.

1) I don't like 2 sails
2) Need to know if the conditions are OK for old people.
3) Last time I raced at Yaverland I had to have bow's replaced on my boat.

Last time I raced at Yaverland I had to have bow's [sic] replaced on my boat.

Unfortunately the event is not idiot proof.

Yes its the idiots that capsize right in front of you.
Don't be so rude.

Overtaking boat stands clear

Erling and I are looking into a eight-high stacking system for those Shanklin boats not entered in the Sport Nationals.

Get your entry in now if you don't want to have your boat buried in the corner.

Before you judge know the facts.

Better find me a corner then.

Sophia and I have our entry in. Where is the link to the entries? I need it to help Sophia get Friday off.

Last day for discounted entries today. Please form an orderly queue outside Erling's house.

Mark Randerson has booked the Culver Haven Inn on Friday the 19th for an informal meal from 7pm onwards.

All welcome.

Change of plan. Culver Haven Inn will be Thursday night. There will be a barbecue at Yaverland on the Friday night.

Going for a cruise to St Helens on Thursday. Leaving the beach at Yaverland at 2.30pm so I would say leave Shanklin at about 2.

Buoys are ready to go to Yaverland.
Keith is getting the flags ready.
We are looking to transport them via car on Thursday afternoon.
Need the safety boat taking down at some stage and making sure there is enough fuel. There is some left in the fuel can that I took off the small rib.

There is plenty of fuel.

We just need somebody to volunteer to drive it.

I'm unable to make the cruise to St. Helen's as I have commitments Thursday afternoon but will join you for the trip to Yeverland at 2pm because I'm too scared to sail there on my own later ....

Is the plan to strap our trolleys and boat covers to boats to get them there ?

I was going to take everything across on my boat.

Don't forget the dinner at the Culver Haven Inn.

I'm going down Thursday evening - leaving the beach about 1845-1900.

We could do with somebody to man the zap cat on Saturday. No qualification necessary.

You may have to share it with an estate agent but it's only for 3 hours.

Good Luck everyone - sorry I'm not there, but at least my boat will be!

I think your boat may be in a prominent position.

Shall take some bits and bobs to Yaverland. Halyards, Burgees, Shackles and Rudder Bits etc.

Workmate and Big Hammer that always works.

There are some pictures of the weekends sailing already on Yaverlands Facebook page.
Again many thanks to all who helped.

Well done to Paul for retaining the Sport National Championship.

Also well done to Sophia and Sean for coming third which must be the best placed two up team in the history of the event.

It was a fantastic event with perfect weather, if a bit strong at times. Many thanks to all who helped on and off the water and to those that took part.

A special mention should go to Keith for services to the fashion industry.
