Youth regatta and Sunday sail

 

开云体育

There's a youth regatta on at Tay this Saturday if folk are interested.? First start is 12 so we could potentially do a wee bit on the water beforehand to make a full day of it.

Forecast also pretty nice for Sunday as well if folk want to make a weekend of it?? Not quite as warm as last weekend though!!

September 29er summer academy

 

开云体育

Matt hadn't been aware that we'd an event planned at Tay when he suddenly thought he should provide a bit more summer training for the 29ers.? Anyway given a couple of boats are away to GP1 the preceding weekend we're as well going with the academy at DBSC followed by zones the following weekend.? Will reorganize NS1 for another date/location?? Probably after Scottish exams in 2020

Andy and the rest at DBSC are going to look at doing communal catering similar to the weekend we had at Tummel last autumn and folk can camp at the club so it's a great chance for any new transition sailors to get a great weekend training on the water but also just as importantly to meet up socially with all of the existing sailors.? Ditto for parents, hoping Feargal's got some sample bottles of wine that he's had to crack open for David Ibbotson like last year!!!

New sailors would then have had a proper weekend of training at the zones venue with a RYAS coach, then leave their boats there and do zones following weekend.? Our gang after their first weekend 29ering at Tummel last year? then just went straight to the zones at Helensburgh and had a ball.?

What do you recon David, David and Jess, sound of interest??? Dalgety Bay is just a couple of hours from Derwent.? We should have 6 boats at least I would have thought without any of the newbies and it's a great way of meeting the gang, both sailors and parents.

Also if any of the feva sailors are thinking of coming into the 29er fleet this would be a great start, couple of good weekends whilst it's still warm.? You need to sign up to academy by 1st September though. We'd try and do a bit of pre academy training as well on the Tay.

Antony, if you reckon the 420s would want to put their name in the pot as it were let us know, would be good to include all the youth sailors in the social side.

For those new to this group the outline plan is on a google spreadsheet.

Saturday 24th

 

开云体育

There's a couple of us planning being out on the Tay this Saturday.? It's a club sailing session from 9:30 and then we'll probably man a rib once it finishes. Suzie sailing with Ross Mauritzen once he gets down from playing rugby and Eoghan going out with Seb and they'll both be out for a fair while!

Any other takers.? Forecast to be 20 degrees so hopefully sea breeze with ebb tide so could be downwind blasting.?

Also there's a youth regatta at Tay on the 31st, following Saturday.? Anyone fancy coming along to that.? I assume mid dayish start so we could do some free sailing beforehand.? Could potentially sail Sunday of either weekends as well if any one is keen?

If any either of the Feva parents that are now in email group fancy bringing their saiors along either weekend let me know and we'll see what we can fix up.

Re: Northern Series 2019/20

 

We'll probably go for the academy as Eoghan may have found a crew and he can make that date but can't do the the later September academy. It will be a good opportunity to see how they get on.

Full list of events and other options for the class to go as a group to are on google sheet.?

Matt will hopefully have the academy dates soon.? Once he's got them I'll try and do a class weekend somewhere similar to that weekend at Tummel last year to get new folk involved.?

Looks like the nationals in 2020 will start a day earlier than previously planned.? Practice race Sat 8th, first day racing Sunday 9th 2020.? Will update once it's confirmed.

Re: Academy dates

 

Hi Susan
Yes Stuart affected - it's the weekend in the middle of his prelims?
If there's an option to review date would be keen to find an alternative.
Thanks

Hi Jo,

Does the following work?



B.


Dates for 2019/20

 

开云体育

That should be all the main dates in place now.? RYAS academy dates are on attached pic.? Last 5 are all shared with the 420 class - suspect they chose the locations??

There's not many spare dates for open class/transition training in that schedule.? If anyone's got any ideas let me know.? At the moment we've not really got any definite Scottish transition boats this year, lots of interest at transition weekend but I've not heard anything since.? Hoping couple of Derwent boats joining the gang this year now that their oppy days are over?

I've updated the google spreadsheet in case it's of use for folk.?? I'll do a simplified version for the northern FB page.


Tummel date for 2020 in there as well.? Except for keen beans that are going to Medemblik for Euros? I think we should aim to make Tummel Week 2020 a 29er must do event.? I think it's great to have something that's just good fun and the racing is very much secondary.? Think it worked brilliantly this year.?? Angie has done a write up and 29er gang get a very good press!!? Assume she'll do finished version to Y&Y.

I'll try and get dates out of 29er Ireland asap so folk can maybe plan in a wee trip over next spring/summer.? They seem to run in calendar years.? Hopefully we can get a few coming over to Largs in July

Hope nationals go well, have a beer or two in Spoons for me.

Nationals rota

 

David Ibbotson doing a last minute call for volunteers for nationals. Pwllheli appear to be providing very few volunteers although they've not yet told him with 7 days to go!!

Any volunteers to fill any positions please. Can be for part or full week. Definitely needing mark layers, rib crews etc. If you are happy just to be slotted in email him.? ?He can swap about if anyone fancies a particular role.? Let him know asap please.?

Other info gone up today as well on website

I’m wanting to put up the info on the 2019/20 Northern Series at the transition weekend next weekend.? There's a few of us at ELYC this weekend so if you're there we can all have a chat. If you're not there then any thoughts? welcome.

I’ve spoken to the two boats at Derwent and they reckon they’re not ready for a travellers there at end of August.? Once they’re up and running they’ll let us know and hopefully join in with training etc.? We’d spoken about Venachar as other option.? There’s a junior series there.? Do we want to tag onto that, same weekend. 25/26th August.

It’s good PR for the class but there’s a few problems.? We’d need another course etc at Venachar, they’re getting 40 junior boats at Largs which I reckon needs 6 ribs plus com boat.? I’m not convinced they’d easily source the extra ribs to run a Bravo course.? It’s also very early in calendar for any new sailors.? There is a big Martin Boatman bash at South Shields that weekend as well which folk could go to?

I’d therefore suggest we make East Lothian in June 2020 the replacement to Derwent.? I know when I suggested ELYC back last autumn you all shot me down, but the reality is that all of our kids are now capable of sailing there and we’ve got at least 4 boats going this weekend.? Think we’re all also going to Largo Bay as well!!? Both conditions permitting I agree.

We’d then use the August and early September weekends for doing transition training, or as class all go to RYTC windward/leeward, Tummel or Lomond etc.?

Any new 2019 boats would then get a full series in kicking off with zones at DBSC 21/22nd September.

Worlds and nationals in 2020 are back to back in Weymouth Bay and so anyone going to them? is going to want as much sea experience as possible in lead up.? So ELYC would be ideal.

Any thoughts??

Yorkshire Dales should be on the weekend indicated but the 29er class have managed to organise open and class training that weekend so we need to resolve that one.? They had it down as the previous weekend.? Aghh
