It’s not over yet!

At the risk of making these monthly newsletters sound a bit like a met office report, the weather was not very kind to us during October with either too much or too little wind. The Condor Series was condensed into 4 races with Paul Raimbault fending off a strong challenge from Phil Aikenhead and Marc Haslam to take the series.

The Class Championships with plenty of trophies to be won have been re-scheduled to this Sunday 3rd November start of first race 11:30 with 3 races per class (and the weather is looking good)!!

As we move into the winter season we have some training sessions scheduled in the sailing calendar. This is a great opportunity to learn new skills or just get out on the water for some practice. This is open to everyone including those who want to learn more about running the racing such as mark laying, race recording, race officer etc etc. Please volunteer to help us run these training sessions.

Next year the Island Games are being held in Orkney during July and dinghy sailing will once again feature as an event. Very shortly a Notice of Race will be published detailing the race qualifiers which will be used as the basis for selecting a Jersey team. The team itself will comprise 4 sailors, 2 in ILCA7 and 2 in ILCA6. The Island Games is a great event to be involved in and be able to represent our island plus hopefully our sailors can bring back some medals. So look out for the NOR.

Finally all the hard effort making this year’s sailing season such a success both on and off the water can be celebrated at this month’s Annual Dinner and Prize Giving and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at this event.

One last item to look out for, the 2025 Calendar will be published very shortly on the website.

In the meantime Happy Sailing
