GYGSC – Spring Regattas and Open Day.

 

Our Friends at Gt Yarmouth and Gorleston Sailing Club would like to invite the members of RBSC to a  numbers of events the first on Monday 25th May.

Event Details.

 

Monday 25th May – Bank holiday open Day. – Start time 10:30

Come with or without you boat, and experience the joys of clean wind and open spaces, GYGSC – members will be available to offer an introduction to the Sea sailing experience.

Sunday 21st June – Lowestoft passage Race. – Start time 10:30

The planned race is to Lowestoft and back depending on favourable conditions

Thursday 25th June – Thursday Evening Regatta – Start time 7pm

This is likely to be 2 races over a shorter inshore course than Sundays and with usually lighter evening winds a great opportunity to race on the sea. The evening sailing tends to attract more Single Handers especially Lasers than the larger weekend courses.

Saturday 27th June Beach Regatta . – Start time 13:00 Briefing 12:00

Sunday 28th June Beach Regatta  – Start Time 10:30

This is our main open event of the year with 3 races back to back races each day.

Sunday 26th July Britannia Pier Race. – Start Time 10:30

“It’s back”, race out to Britannia Pier and back.

 If guests would like to leave their boats on site for the Week this should not be a problem.

Get Your Head Out of the Boat! Hosted By Mike McNamara, Wed 22nd April 7pm

Ever Wondered?

 

Why the boats in front of you sail in different directions to you?

Why one week they hug the reeds and the next avoid them completely?

Why they all suddenly tack in synchronisation?

Why are straight lines rarely the fastest routes?

What are they seeing that you are not?

 

Get Your Head Out of the Boat!
