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.

At the Annual General Meeting of Beaver Sailing Club on 25th November 2017 it was voted unanimously that Terry and Joan Postlethwaite be  elected as honorary members.

Terry first joined the Club in the early 60’s and was therefore one of the original wooden boat sailors. However, his reputation still seems to stand more in the Dart Class so he obviously moved on to modern materials quickly. Records from Sprint 15 Association show impressive wins in 1992, 1996 and 1997 in the Pewter Hip Flask Heavyweight helm class. There’s also another trophy win in 1992, the Eric Worby 50 Plus. Looks like it was a good year for Terry. He has suffered ill health in recent years but continues to attend the Club regularly to share time with our small community. He is in good spirits and is threatening to make a comeback to racing in 2018. He has said that he’ll take it easy on other members by giving a thirty second head start off the start line.

Joan also played a part in the club and supported clubhouse management for several years.

Beaver Sailing Club is proud to have them as honorary members.
