Henry Wetherell
Henry Wetherell clinched his first Finn national title at Mengeham Rythe SC on Sunday after only one further race was possible.
British Sailing Team member Wetherell also took the U 23 title, ahead of GAC Pindar U 23 Cameron Tweedle in second with Grand Master Graham Tinsley third.
An impressive 58 entries underlines the growing strength of the UK Finn fleet with 10 U23 sailors taking part. In recent years the British Finn Association with sponsor GAC Pindar has supported an U23 squad with grants and training, and four of those were among six U23 sailors in the top 10.
We are holding a Beaver bake off and BBQ on the bank Holiday Sunday evening
Tickets are £5 each and include BBQ meat, salad and breads followed by various cakes and desserts.
Alternatively if you bring your own meat then help yourself to salad, bread, cakes and desserts for £2.50.

It’s all a bit of fun but we will have prizes for the winners.
Beaver SC welcomes and supports the young sailors taking part in a regatta on 14th April 2018. This event falls under the new banner of North East Youth Racing and is an amalgamation of the North East Youth Travellers and Yorkshire and Humberside Youth Sailing Association.
YHYSA states on their site; This series is intended to encourage young sailors to travel around the region and to get them into a competitive yet friendly racing environment which will include on the water coaching for those who need or want it to help them improve boat speed, handling and of course their results.
The series will once again be run under the wing of the RYA NE Regional Volunteer Team but we welcome help and input from parent volunteers who are prepared to put something back into the sport by helping and encouraging the regions young sailors.
See YHSA site here.
Hopefully the weather will be favourable but sporty enough to provide good challenge and that Beaver’s open water and quality club facilities will make this an event to remember.
Monday 2nd April is challenge time with racing vying for the Leda Bowl.
This trophy was donated by Maurice Matisson and named after his building trade recruitment company. Maurice was a long standing club member until about 5 or 6 years ago.
The day originally was three pursuit races ( Maurice liked pursuit races ) being fixed length races effectively with the handicap worked out in advance. The starting procedure ran at one minute intervals and each class started at its allotted time. The race finished when the time was up and the positions on the water were the result. Some exciting finishes were seen.
What is the capital of Belarus? Who invented the zip fastener? Who was the first american into space? Those are the easy ones. 1st April, 7 pm at Beaver SC will be an opportunity to test yourself on how much ‘not-useful-in-everyday-situations’ data you’ve got stored in those little recesses. Emma Grayson will be hosting a quiz and the prizes will be Easter eggs. Pie and peas followed by delicious desserts are planned. Family quiz. £5 per person. Bring your own drinks. For now though, with only a few weeks to go you need to get your Guinness Book of Records out, get surfing the net and get cramming.
Mobile phones and devices must be turned off during the quiz!
