Rollesby Broad Sailing Club (Rbsc)

Hi FolksPlease take note, the Club Series Eels Foot race is incorrect on the printed / published programme.It should be on Sunday 12th May (not 5th). It is correct on the duty list.For those of you with double-handers, don't forget our double-hander open on May 19th which also includes and Eels foot in the afternoon!Can I also take this opportunity to ask race officer that if they work out the times for races on a separate scrap paper (this is fine by me) that they copy at least the finish times (ideally calculated times as well) onto the official sheet so that if anyone questions a result I have something to refer back to and not just the positions.Thanks Ian https://www.rbsc.org.uk/…/eels-foot-rac e-sunday-12th-may-n…/

The weather looks absolutely awful on Saturday. Too wet and too windy and not for beginners!. So the Saturday event is postponed until 11th May, where we will ask everyone, volunteers and newbies alike, when to fit the missing day back in to the schedule.I have spoken or left voicemails with everyone who has offered to help on Saturday but if any of you were intending to turn up on spec this is email is just advise you of the cancellation.

A beautiful sunny morning greeted the competitors for Rollesby Broad’s Solo and Single-hander open meeting on Easter Sunday, only the wind direction was not ideal creating shifty conditions but it was at least strong enough to give a reasonable first beat all day. The Solos completed four races; Mark Maskell (Blackwater) set off as he meant to continue by leading from the start with John Saddington (Rollesby) his closest pursuer at the first turn.

The Spring series at Rollesby started with the first “Eels Foot Race” of the year. Fourteen boat set out but, as the wind died after the start, the short beat across the Broad turned into a torturous affair. Mike McNamara in his Harrier with Ian and Sharon Ayres in their Leader came round the windward mark ahead of the rest. After a slow broad reach down the Broad the wind picked up and once through the cut, the fleet had a good sail in the bigger Broad.

Rollesby held their Spring Regatta on Sunday. In the pouring rain, at the start of the morning, it did not feel like spring but eleven single handers turned out. As the rain stopped a fresh breeze developed from the north blowing down the Broad and the fleet was treated to some good sailing conditions. In race one John Saddington in a solo and Matt Boreham in his laser got clear of the rest. [ 123 more words ] https://www.rbsc.org.uk/2019/04/spring-re gatta-3/

This year our personal start pursuit racing starts on 24th April it is intended that racing starts at 6.30 for a Mirror (rather than 7) to allow more sailing time before the breeze dies. If you arrive a bit late you may be able to request a small delay from our friendly race team! To kick off the season, and at the request of several Wednesday Sailors, Mike McNamara has agreed to give a talk on the racing rules on the previous Wednesday evening i.e. [ 83 more words ] https://www.rbsc.org.uk/2019/04/wednesday s-rule-talk/

A suitably chilly start as winter sailing at Rollesby came to its conclusion with the final races of the Frostbite Series which warmed up to a beautifully sunny spring day for all those who remembered the clocks had changed! An impressive entry of 65 different craft have taken part over the winter with 19 different Solos, 12 Wayfarers and 10 Lasers making up the bulk… [ 379 more words ] https://www.rbsc.org.uk/2019/04/end-of-fr ostbite-series/

An inconsistent westerly breeze meant short beats, long reaches and increased the importance of a good start at Rollebsy on Sunday 24th March. With the mutlisail series already sorting themselves out the tighter competition is with the single-handers , where the winners are still open to several sailors with only one more week to go. Close Racing The Solos were again to the fore, but not exclusively so. [ 382 more words ] https://www.rbsc.org.uk/2019/03/report-24 th-march/

Kevin was busy with the camera last week.

Rollesby 'Solo' Sailors (All others more than welcome) Saturday 6th April 2 pm Several people have asked me if I would repeat the training day I ran about 3 years ago. I have been trouble finding a suitable space in my diary! I would intend this particular session to be land based only; though nothing to stop people having a sail afterwards.

A strong westerly breeze coming over the trees on the west bank meant conditions were tricky at Rollesby Broad on Sunday 18th March, indeed given the number of capsizes it was impressive that there were only two retirements amongst the 15 starters. The Solos were dominant in the single handed fleet; Roger Wilson started fast in race 1 having shut out Daniel Bull in his Laser; to round the… [ 298 more words ] https://www.rbsc.org.uk/2019/03/report-17 th-march/
