Issue 10 of the club’s Sailing Instructions (SI’s) for Club Racing has just been released. This document supersedes all previous versions and is the one to be used for all ‘Club Racing’ (Vs Open Meetings) with immediate effect. Hard copies have been placed in the Race Office and on the Clubhouse noticeboard. They are also available for review (and download) from the club website (under Club/Racing/Racing Documents).
This update has been issued to introduce changes to achieve the following:-
1. Simplify the whole document by editing out the specific instructions that were only applicable to Open meetings.
(A separate set of SI’s for Open meetings held at SBSC will be issued shortly.)
2. Clarify, standardise and formalise a number of undocumented ‘Custom & Practice’ procedures that have been introduced & operated at the club over a number of years. The main ones in this category being the adoption of “Average Lap Racing” and the improvement of the procedures for shortening a race, if required.
3. Tidy up a few sections and perform some admin changes to ensure that the SI’s are consistent with the current Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) & the club ‘Operating Manual’.
I was asked if I could write a note identifying &/or explaining all the differences (para by para) between the previous SI’s and these new ones. Well I could try, but I won’t………
I believe it would be much more beneficial & efficient if everyone would read the new document, in its entirety, themselves. It is about the equivalent of 4 sides of A4 & only takes around 5 minutes to read. Having read it, if there are any issues or clarifications that anyone feels they would like to discuss, I would be happy to address those either in person or via the club forum (so club members can see the discussion) ..…. whichever you prefer.
Happy reading

[wpfilebase tag=file id=78 tpl=simple /] [wpfilebase tag=file id=79 tpl=simple /]Just a quick post to let everyone know that the South West Youth Sailing Academy have approached SBSC requesting to visit the reservoir for a couple of weekends over the coming winter season. This has been agreed to and they will be joining us over the weekends of 10/11th Dec ’16 and 21/22 Jan. ’17.
These sessions form a part of their overall 6 month winter training programme which includes both initial sailing & race training at a variety of sea, river and reservoir venues.
They will be conducting a programme of structured training both on and off the water, using their own boats which comprise mainly RS Teras and Toppers.
There are a limited number of places available for cadet sailors from SBSC to join this training programme whilst they are at our reservoir. If you know of any SBSC cadet sailor who would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please let me know before December 6th (Tuesday week), either directly or via the email group.

The Club Spring AM & PM Series were completed last Sunday (15th May 2016).
Over 40 different boats and sailors took the water during the series with some excellent racing and close finishes.
A complete range of wind, temperature and weather was experienced …. which gave a great variety of conditions to test (and in some cases overtest!) the sailors abilities and at the same time gave a good workout of the SBSC handicapping system.
The overall results can be found in the menu above under “news”
