RNSA (P) Autumn Series – Race 8

Much to the relief of the eight diehard vessels that came to the start line for the penultimate Wednesday race of the season, the band of torrential rain forecast to sweep down the Solent did not materialise until much later. In fact the light drizzle gently wetting the fleet 20 minutes prior to the start, eased off to leave another perfect sailing evening.

The Reluctant Anchor Watchman

A sardonic look at anchoring. Why would anyone choose to pass by a marina and head for that quiet little anchorage that offers no facilities, no chance to charge the batteries at exorbitant cost and no bar where one can sit and covet the super yacht that dwarfs your own floating cash drain? Read Peter Stone's musings from this year's cruising on the link below.

Cruiser Captain election

It’s that time of year again – After the lift-out safety brief on the 15th October, we need to elect next year’s Cruiser Captain. I am prepared to stand again, unless anyone else would like to give it a try. I would also like to hear if anyone has any suggestions for trips / cruises for next year, as calendar planning time is fast approaching. As you probably know, the main summer (Commodore’s) cruise is currently planned to take us to the Bay of Seine – what about the bank holidays? (end of May and August). How about an extra “Passage Race” out of the Solent (Poole maybe)? Following on from the Dinghy section end of season meeting, it is hoped to re-instate the Priory Bay cruise for dinghies and cruisers next year, with the possibility of cruisers taking extra family members / less confident dinghy crew / BBQ gear etc and chaperoning the dinghies to a degree during the crossing – They always used to be great fun!

If the highly successful “Bart’s Bash” event is going to be repeated next year (as is planned), it would be nice to have some sort of short race for the cruisers to join in too, if anyone has any ideas.

RNSA (P) Autumn Series – Race 6

The shorts and T shirts remain on display as the unseasonably warm weather continues into October. Although as the nights draw in it is difficult to set a course that doesn't have half the fleet finishing in the dark, fortunately they all made it back for the pie or curry at HSSC. With Happy Apple unable to make it, Tinker T took on the duties of SOOD and set a course of a beat to SE Ryde Middle, followed by a beam reach - ideal for the asymmetric boats and a run home against the tide.
