15th September 2018 . Beaver Sc
The Laser Grand Prix . Northern .
Standard . Radial . 4.7
Beaver , was pleasantly surprised with a turnout of fifteen Lasers , taking part , in the first of hopefully many Laser events to come .
Although a few competitors were late and one actually failed to get out on the water at all , the days event went off perfectly .
The only thing , to spoil the day , was as always , the lack of wind and if the predicted forecast had been correct , the wind would have come through stronger , by the second race , but as it was , it died of death .
Beaver Sailors , Oliver Groves and Chris White , led the way round , with only a friendly comment parting the two , with Ollie , pinching the lead , into the third lap , bringing him home , with the first win of the day .
Bringing a touch of class to the event , our first lady of the two participating , Wendy Jones came home , in a strong third , just falling of the pace of the boys , but leading the following pack by a good distance .
Poor Filey girl Mandy Platt , had to retire from the race , through tiller failure , but with Beaver member Stu's tiller extension , was back on the water , in readiness for race two .
With a good mix of both youth and senior Sailors and the use of different rigs , the lack of wind , left race two wide open , with who ever caught a whisper of breeze , to pull them ahead . on the first beat , from a tightly packed start line .
With Peter Hone , ROD of the event , worried we didn't have a strong first beat , it was the least of the Sailors problems , as the wind deminshed to a flutter and craft , struggled to round buoy five onto the run down to buoy two .
Ollie led the field again , but Garry Knott crept by , to grasp and hold the lead , the duration of the final race , with Chris and Wendy , struggling , in the doldrums , having to make do with 6th and 7th place respectively , leaving Larson , George and Mick to move up the leader board , sailing home in 3rd , 4th and 5th .
Sadly , both Sailors and ROD , came to a conclusive decision to abandon the third race , with the lake , like a mirror , with not a ripple in sight .
To compliment a good day , along with a great bunch of Sailors , travelling from as far a field as Southport , our Galley Girls , Irene Parkhurst , Allison Parkhurst and not forgetting the lovely Lucy , sent our visitors home , full of their tasty delights , hoping they will return , not too far in the future .
Thanks to Peter & Liz Hone , Stu , Martin Penty and sister Susan and as mentioned , our wonderful galley girls and lastly all our Laser Sailors for coming ... Hope to see you all again !

Junior Regatta September 7th 2018
After , what has been the best summer on record in years , it was just ashame , it just didn't hang on , for Annual Junior Regatta .
It may have been a dull , miserable , wet day , but our youngsters enthusiasm , was the perfect tonic , to make the day's event a credible success .
We had eleven entries in total , with a good mix of ages , gender and craft , including Gabriel Brook , who visiting the club for the first time , actually , got to join in the racing , with one of the clubs , Pico's .
With the wind conditions , favourable , for all levels of sailing , we were lucky enough to have our two juniors , Tara Timmins and Tymo Dickinson , go head to head in the two Optimist races , with Tara managing to make the most of the light winds , and taking the glory over the two races .
Joining Tara , with maximum wins , was again the girl power of Gemma Francis-Burnett , with three convincing wins , retaining the Trophy , for a second year , sailing the Streaker .
The top three were split , by our regular Nick Bell , bringing the Topper home in 2nd place , with Daisy Marshall , bringing the girls , taking two of the top three placings in the overall Results .
Little Josh Scott , didn't let Gramps , Bob Towler , down , improving his position in every race and I'm sure we'll be seeing alot more of the jolly chap , in Beaver's events .
Toby and Esme Timmins , accompanied by friend Morgan Grey , made a big contribution to the attendance today and had some close run battles in the Toppers and Pico , managing a good full day Sailing , having a bit of fun at the same time .
Also managing to squeeze a race in ,not expecting to be racing at all , was Poly Whyley , managing to rig the Tera , with minutes to spare .
With the buffet , fit for Kings and Queens , our youths , didn't waste any time , in devouring the tasty delights and even our senior members , couldn't resist the party like astmosphere and were soon rekindling their youth , tucking into some neopolitan ice cream and jelly , laid on my our very own Helen Penty , Liz Hone , Emma Grayson and not forgetting the ever young Irene Parkhurst .
As always , with out our chief ROD, Peter Hone , aided by , i would like to say , more than hinded , Stu and Tim Bell , the days racing went off perfectly and with our ever reliable Bob on Rescue , our youngsters , were definitely in safe hands .
Thank you to all those , that helped and to all.the parents , for bringing their budding Sailors and taking home , all that damp and smelly Sailing gear , let's hope it's dry tomorrow .
Racing .. Sunday 2.9.18
An unexpectedly breezy day , but with the sun shinning and a good group of freinds and members returning from holidays , it was good to see the club , back busy again .
Our youngsters down and out in the more than sprightly conditions , were Nick Bell and Emma Rumgay , both out in the Toppers , with Emma coming out the victor in the two races sailed , taking a well earnt 2nd in the handicap EarlyBird , just robbed of a victory , by Streaker sailor Ben .
The winds were definitely a little unpredictable , with us hanging on , by the seat of our pants one minute , to the calmness of the run from 4 to 5 buoy on the figure of eight course , set by Penny Percival and partner , our ROD,s of the day .
Obviously there were casualties , with dare devils Sam Waller , Michael Penty and James Penty and Ed Eddie Grayson , precariously, literally hanging by the seat of their pants on the trapezes of the flying machines , the RS800,s , taking more than one refreshing dip , followed by Laser sailor , Tim Bell and Glam mum Joyce Dickinson , having a great sail , in the Qba .
Poor Tim Bell adding to his misery from last weekends outing , has spent more time in the water , than actual racing , which is rather worrying , as we need to be more vigilant and prepared to rescue sailors , that have spent a good length of time , trying to get back into their craft . Poor Tim , was actually lapped , whilst still in the water , trying sort his problems out , this week and even more concerning , spent a good 45 mins with son Nick , trying to upright the Topper Xenon , last week .
The three Mirrors , were dominated throughout the day , by the Magician, Malc Ellwood , pulling a few tricks out , to grasp the lead from Drift King Rennie and holding off a good fight from Richard,s son , Thomas Rennie , who was certainly " Over The Moon " with the days sailing .
Steve Blair our only Supanova, specilist , had to work hard to take control of the EarlyBird from our Hot Streaker sailor Ben Dennis- Smithers and with some really hard and close battles with fellow Streaker sailor Thomas Penty , shared the spoils of the following two fleet races .
Stu , back at the club , for what seemed an eternity, will have to improve on his starts , to be in be in with a chance with talents of both Ben and Thomas , but was more than pleased with his efforts , along with Brian Kelly and Keith Mellor , who finished the last race , in a very respectable time .
Adding to the Heinz variety of boats , already gracing the waters , is the RS 300 , recently purchased by fit man Richard Handby and to be honest , anyone less nimble or fitter than Richard , should probably take up knitting , than venture out in this craft . Speed , agjility and balance , are a must to sail this craft , so us old timers are best sticking to the safety of the Mirrors and Streakers , if we want to survive sailing , into our Eighties.
Steve Hanby , even with the lively breeze , was still no match , for his competitors in the handicap fleet and duly chose to set the RS200 up for the last race , to give fellow friend Brian Kelly , a thrill .
Back from his Laser travels , was the injection of the young blood , of Thomas Parkhurst , giving an excellent display of Laser sailing , proving , he was more than a match , even with the smaller laser sail .
Martin Penty , even joined in the fun , showing he was equally a match for the youngsters , taking helm of the RS800 , along with crew , Sam Waller .
To sum it up , a fab day , enjoyed by all ....great to be back !
Thanks to ROD , Penny and partner and to our ever reliable galley girls , Helen Penty and Liz Hone .
