Whats on at your Club!!

Or rather - what isn't!! Just when we thought Jeremy and team might run out of steam they changed gear it seems!! Look at this lot! 

• Friday Night is Steak Night (Standard Galley Menu will still be available)
• Friday Night Draw has rolled up to R4-400 (Sam Leggatt not present last week)
• The ever popular Friday Night "Goody Raffle" will be returning to raise funds for our junior sailors and our 2011 Lipton Campaign. Please support your Junior sailors - they are busting a gut to put HBYC on the map - and already are making waves in the top of the fleet, to a point where handicaps are being argued again! Hmm?
• Friday evening sees the return of "The Crunch" - the live band featuring legendary Rock Singer Paul Koning and his rew. Security arrangements in place to keep screaming fans at bay, so come along and enjoy a free-entry, fun-filled evening and dance the night away!! 
• Saturday is the Curry Cup Final, on the BIG SCREEN, with surround-sound and cold beer. Remember those Marzen Golds!
• Tickets now on sale for Christmas Party and Prize-Giving which is to be held on Saturday 11th December. Tickets are being limited to 100 at a cost of R150 per head. See Notice Board. NOT TO BE MISSED! 
The popular Friday night "Goody-Raffle" will be returning as a fundraising initiative for our Lipton 2011 Campaign. Please support our junior sailors as they are busting a gut to put HBYC on the map. (They are even making more seasoned sailors nervous to a point that handicaps are being argued again. Hmm!) 

See you at the Club - its the place to be!

Wed Night Sailing postponed this week

Due to the strong South Easter today (forecast to increase by evening), Racing is postponed until Thursday for those who can make it. Postponed races will not count in the Summer Series.

Summer Series starts with a bang!

The 2010 Summer series started last night with 7 boats on the water, and a fresh Northwesterly with flat seas. Good competitive and very fast racing! Welcome to Rodney Tanner who helmed the JML-3 boat, as well as Cape Storm (Pacer 37) - also Enigma (welcome back James!). We have moved to using PHRF scores (without skippers handicap) as the primary rating system, as most skippers are well experienced and would like to know where they really are! The attached results show both ratings for reference however.

Club Champs 2010 Detailed Results

. . and the winners are . . . Irish Mist!

HBYC Club Champs was sailed over the past weekend - including a total of five races. Weather conditions were frustratingly light on the Saturday during which only one race was completed, but the Sunday made up for it with a light but steady South Wester prevailing for the whole day - on a very flat sea, with warm and pleasant conditions. Our able and intrepid race officer (Derek Lourens) managed to get the fleet through another four races, making a total of five, and so allowing each boat a single discard. Irish Mist - a top L26 - was made available by Peter Roeloffze - and sailed superbly by Rian Turner and his crew - with some very convincing wins including a few line honours! Can't argue with that! See their happy faces in the pic! Faraway - Chris Sutton's Far 40, was also in excellent form sailing one of their best Regattas ever, and finished second. Megafreight (last year's winners) finished third after a tie-break with JML-3 (L26) in the debut performance of these juniors - this was an excellent result and I predict great things for these guys in years to come. Another tiebreak seperated Quest and Aquamaniac (Pacer 27), with Aquamaniac in 5th place (ably sailed by Tojan, Juliana and Dudley), Quest (Flamenca) in 6th place, Savannah (Miura) in 7th, and Nandi (Dix 34) in 8th. This was actually quite a competitive fleet allround, with close finishes in each race.

Special thanks to Keith Gemell (sponsor), Derek Louwrens (race officer), Jeremy Nel and Keith Coleman (mark laying, photos, junior trainers and tons of stuff), and Chris Sutton (scorer and generally good guy!).
