Training Notes
In an attempt to get on
the water earlier please try to arrive 30 minutes before the session (17:30)
and either get changed or help rig the boats – preferably both.
TRAINING
Mondays - Tackers - 1st years. Sail in Wayfarers
initially with an instructor. As experience is gained they may sail a wayfarer
without an instructor or move into a Pico or Topper. The course will teach the
fundamentals of sailing.
Mondays – Intermediate. Preference for boats will be given to 2nd year
trainees on Mondays – others may come. They will sail Topper or Pico either
solo or in pairs. The course will refresh the basics of sailing and also some
of the finer points of getting more speed and sailing efficiently. This will be
done using a variety of ‘on the water’ exercises intended to build confidence.
Students will be trained in racing techniques - how to get a good start, going
round marks, rules etc. A short race may be organised to practice.
Two sessions in July are
designated ‘Spare’. These will be used if sailing has to be cancelled on any of
the scheduled Mondays.
RACING
Tuesdays – Competent sailors.
Second year + students and club members. You will be expected to be able handle
a Pico or Topper (i.e. sail round a course) single-handed and without the need
for instruction. Help and tuition may be given on the water to improve sailing
and enjoyment of the sport. Emphasis is very much on FUN with a competitive
element so don’t be afraid to give it a try. Prizes will be awarded.
Racing
Notes- read carefully as many races are lost by crews who do not read the
instructions.
Tuesday nights you must get to
the green flag by RACE start at 6:30pm.
You need arrive at about 5:30pm to allow time to rig and sail to the green
flag.
NB. In August we revert
to racing on Monday evenings only.
Races may be altered,
postponed or abandoned at the discretion of the acting race officer on the day.
Sailing instructions are
to be available on the website.
Racing is very informal
and friendly (to the extent that Race Officers may offer guidance to slower
sailors at their discretion). Courses will be short and easy to understand.
Racing is open to any
BJSC club member (adult family members too) with basic sailing skills i.e. able
to sail a triangular course.
If time allows a 2nd race will start immediately after 1st race has finished
You may use club Toppers,
Picos, Wayfarers or your own dinghy.
Racing is only open to
novice (first year) sailors if they can find an experienced sailor to go with
them.
Courses will be set and
described by the race officer once you are on the water.
You must inform the race
officer of your intention to race at least 5 minutes before the start.

Social
Secretary

This
could be you!

Volunteers needed……..
The committee is currently
looking for a 'social secretary'. Each year we try to run at least one social
event in order to promote the 'club' atmosphere of BJSC (and maybe raise some
money for the club at the same time). In previous years we have often failed to
do this simply due to lack of volunteer effort.
The task would involve
liaising with BYC to ensure we can have use of the facilities and then planning
and organising the event itself.
If you feel you would like to
get involved then please contact one of the committee members above.
Staff shortages can alter the programme - hope you will understand that we will do our best..
