Beaver Sailing Club members and Committees have been studying the Covid-19 guidance from our sporting body the RYA and how this affects how we use Beaver Sailing Club during these difficult times. Our...Can I just remind everyone that it’s members only at the club at the moment, we are not doing any day tickets or inviting non members to sail.
Please note that the cost of a membership for the remainder of the year through to 1st March 2021 reduces by a third from 1st October.
Sunday's Racing .
Paul Browning and Andrew Hansed overcame the lack of wind by reducing the size of the course and with a stroke of luck the wind did actually make an unexpected show to the relief of the nine members participating in the Early Bird 3 .
Malc and Richard made up the two strong Mirror Fleet , the two earybirders Stu and Brian were joined by Bob Towler , Jon Aldhous and Tim Bell to bring the Streakers upto an healthy fleet and the rest sailed in the Handicap Fleet .
Numbers were still low , but all those that bothered to come down i would say we're pleasantly surprised as the wind gave us some good competitive racing .
Martin Ibbotson has confirmed he will be doing the next ROD , so racing will go ahead .
A few members have shown interest in continuing to sail on a Wednesday evening , so 6.30 would probably be a better time to start racing .
Please use this post to contact each other and make any arrangements .
Sunday 16/8/20 Early Bird 3
August Points Handicap .
The morning started off a little subdued with the expectations of very few turning up , never mind for the Early Bird but for the total days racing , with the threat of rain a big possibility.
The winds were adequate for most , but the big boys were hoping for an increase for the afternoons racing and although not a blower it did slightly increase to give a few of us a short burst on the plane .
With our old faithful Peter Hone , helped as always by his good lady wife Liz , it was as though the club had resumed some kind of normality with Peter being our ROD, but as we are all aware the threat of virus is never far from our thoughts and we all carried on the days events precautious as ever .
Tim Bell after Wednesday's hiccup and still high spirited took a good lead and rounded the first mark ahead of Angus and Streaker rival Stu in the Early Bird , holding first spot before relinquishing a well fort first lap to the pressure of Angus and Stu , who eased slightly ahead through the duration of the race .
Bob Towler headed the front of the following pack and Joyce Buzeman-dickinson found herself laying in sixth , just clinging onto the stern of Brian Kelly and ahead of son Luke .
Sadly Joyce's day took a turn for the worse , with first a broken mast , which was quickly replaced in readiness for the first of the afternoons races and then an accident as her Laser skewed upto wind only to be hit by the oncoming Dart of Frank Duhrkoop , which in the split second of it happening had no time to react .
Joyce God bless her was obviously shook up and we all wish her well and hope to see her back on the water very soon .
Luke after an unusually poor start through being driven off the line and finding himself well back , did managed to make headway moving ahead of back marker Nic Crelllin and fellow Streaker sailor Brian Kellly and the Mirror of Richard .
Richard Rennie was left flying the flag for the Mirrors as Malc settled for for his only outing in the first of the August Points , which Richard found himself taking the glory of the two with a second place , after his early win in the Early Bird .
The 13.30 start of the August Points was beefed up by the added entries of Harry Smith, Laser , Frank Duhrkoop in the Dart , Malc Ellwood , Lord Ibbotson back from his hols in the Finn and the two Streakers of Jon Aldhous and Martin Penty bringing the Streakers upto an healthy severn over the day , with Steve Hanby joining us for the final race in the RS300.
Martin Penty with no one to threaten his superiority on the water, found himself fronting both of the afternoons races , but not before being held by our man Bob Towler, who with an excellent start held the lead for a short spell , before the master powered ahead .
Jon Aldhous and Stu found themselves fighting for every inch of the water , with two very well matched battles , with Finn man Martin and the Dart of Frank adding to their problems .
Luke clawed himself back into a respectable position in the Radial Laser after going it alone on the beat , bringing himself within striking distance of the Streakers of Bob and Tim Bell , coming down to the bank adjacent to the boat park and across to buoy two , taking precious seconds of the leaders , satisfying the youngsters well earnt efforts .
