I think we'll struggle this time....literally only got the boat today and a few things on this week. We'll definitely be at the next one though as Fraser & Jonas are keen to get going :-)?

Subject: [n29ers] Derwent 29ering weekend

Dave Coady and Dave Shilling at Derwent have offered to organise an informal 29er long weekend from the 6th to 9th August.? They've got 4 local boats taking part and would love to see some other 29ers coming along.

It's a great chance for any new boats to get lots of time on the water at a safe beginners location.? The plan is that various parents will take turns at manning ribs and doing informal coaching.? The couple of local coaches are away unfortunately.

The more experienced boats just need to get lots of time on the water and should all have had enough coaching to let them self coach as a group.

Ideally over the weekend some of the experienced sailors would jump in a 29er with the rookies and give them a bit of one to one time to get them up the learning curve a lot faster.

You can do any days out of the Thursday to Sunday.? Camping available from Thursday night.? Toilets are open but not changing rooms.? There's a gas BBQ outside that can be used.?? Need to use own cooking facilities apart from that.

There will be a charge for the rib hire and probably some camping fee for the club but it shouldn't be expensive.

If interested please ping back a reply by say Sunday night so they can get a plan together.

? Hi Bear,

Thanks for the update. Theo & Eilish are really keen to continue training with you next season With them being at different clubs and neither has allowed them to sail together, it looks unlikely they would host a collection of boats at the moment.

They are so keen to get going again, but then aren’t we all!

Take care,

Emma & Gregor Stewart?

Nothing in writing but Matt at RYAS had a youth classes zoom call with a few parents last night and said that as soon as he can find club willing to host he'll organise 29er training weekends.? We reckon there's a few clubs that are getting closer to that but for quite understandable reasons they're taking small steps just now.

The class will also be looking to hold training sessions, again once clubs are willing to host.? If anyone's interested in hosting at their club and reckon they can get say 3 boats to come along get in touch and we can organise coaches etc.??

So far we've got 4 rookie boats starting this autumn with potentially at least another couple of boats keen to start so if you're thinking about it and need info on helms and crews that are maybe looking to pair up get in touch with me.? I've got a list of 10 sailors at the moment that are really keen to have a taster sessions so we'll do these as soon as we can! ??

With the 4 new rookie boats and the 7-8 regular boats still sailing this coming year we should be hitting double figures which would be great.

Spoke to RYAS and they're confirming that kids from the same club can now sail a 29er together.? What RYAS or the 29er class can't organise is an event where sailors from different clubs come together.? Matt reckons that might change when we get to stage 4 but that certainly won't be before the end of the month.?

They said under current rules it's got to be under the control of the club itself and approved by the club's Covid officer.? The interesting point was that Matt reckoned guidance did allow for rescuing 29ers by putting 29er wings on the sponsons, I thought problem was only mast head help and only towing on a long line which will never work with a 29er.? But there's some clauses that allow for more direct help. So of anyone's struggling at their club with protocols? let me know or speak to RYAS.

Hopefully come August we'll get some class training organised for the transition boats, RYAS also keen to set up academies as soon as they get the go ahead.

It's looking quite fresh this weekend and so Gillies is asking if any parents are willing to potentially crew in ribs if required depending on conditions and the club.? Don't need PB2. Waterproofs or wetsuit would be good though.

If you can ping back a quick reply just so he knows who to ask tomorrow if he needs folk.?
