ATTENTION ALL EDYC BOAT OWNERS WHO RACE - Strangford Lough Regattas and Events.
Is your boat on the East Down Yacht Club boat list?
If not and you sail in another club's regatta,
they will not know who or what you are and in handicap racing will not be able to give you a result!
CRUISERS: Do you want to race in "Restricted Sail"?
If so and you are not listed, send an email to results@edyc.co.uk, or tell the Sailing Captain.
The boats listed are: Alize; Eclair; First Impressions; Kestrel; King's Bounty; Rowena and Underdog.
You must declare if you want to race "Restricted Sail"
as you cannot pick and choose to race in that class in a Regatta depending on the weather!
DINGHIES: We have several dinghies, mostly Lasers and Toppers, who race at EDYC, but are not on the EDYC boat list!
Please check the boat list on the EDYC
website.
If your boat is not listed tell us before 16th June 2008, so that we can inform Strangford Lough Regatta Conference.
We need to know: Sail number; Boat type; Boat name; Owner's name.

Ulster Topper Championships 2008 at Killyleagh
Congratulations to all our young sailors (Michael, Frazer, Ben, Peter, Tanleth, Lucy and Eoin) who competed
in the Topper Ulster Championships. Conditions were far from ideal with the Saturday being confined by high winds to "on-shore touch rugby" and a table quiz.
The extreme conditions persisted into Sunday and were only for the more experienced sailors in the fleet. Michael scored best with a creditable 6th.
 Ben will have been particularly pleased with his placement at 16th given that he is still "under 12."
Fair to say it proved a significant learning experience for all participating!
We tried to get a photograph of the young sailors - but they were having
too much fun - so here are the hard working shore crew!.

New power sockets. (revised wording) The winch house sockets have been removed and new ones installed in the first boat house (close to the hose and convenient for power-washing). Additional sockets have also been installed adjacent to the water taps on either side of the yard.
Members should note that there is a touch sensitive switch located above the
sockets in the first boat-house. This is a timer switch and it activates all of the external power-points on site, allowing a maximum of two hours use - after which it is necessary to re-arm the touch switch.
Electricity is provided free of charge to all members. |
