If anyone has finished with some recent sailing magazines we could do with a few copies for the lounge. Why not bring em in when you have read them cover to cover and share with your fellow members.
The Autumn Championships for the J/109 UK Class took place over the weekend 10/11 October 2009 with racing run by Hamble River Sailing Club. Six races were scheduled (4 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday) and no discard. The J/109 UK Class had also arranged for Julian Pearson to coach the class on Saturday, who was ably assisted by James Knight of North Sails and there was a lot of useful video footage and discussion back at the Club after racing.
This year’s Regatta received 30 entries spread over the three classes The IRC class numbers were dominated by Qtr tonners including a crew from Holland giving an international flavour to the event The numbers for the Club non spinnaker class was double that of last years. many of whom had benefitted from the Saturday morning race practice sessions held during the season. XOD numbers were down slightly.
