heard, Chris Day has

over the past few
years!

GUL Series #2 - Salcombe
The 2nd round of our Gul
Series took place over the
May Bank Holiday
Weekend. While some of the
country was recovering from
snow, National Twelve
sailors enjoyed a beer in
the sun on the balcony of
the Yacht Club. SYC also
welcomed lots of younger
members of the 12 fleet and
when not impressively
showing their parents how to
hike, they enjoyed games on
the beach and ice creams in
the town.Following the
ice-creams, games and drinks
on the Saturday over 40
members of the 12 class were
treated to a splendid dinner
at the Yacht Club.
Overall results
1. Tom and Robert Stewart
2. Graham Camm and Zoe
Ballantyne
3. Antony and James Gifford
Admiral’s Cup
1. Neal and Freya Lillywhite

Salcombe? Do not fear,
because Gul Series #3 is
just round the corner! On
21/22 May we'll be at Royal
Harwich Yacht Club to take
part in their 'Smugglers
Trophy', once again
including an ABC (Anyone but
Camm) Pursuit race. Camping

the East
Northern Series - Newburn
Open Meeting
Report by Howard Chadwick
The Northern Series of open
meetings got off to a slow
start with several
competitors having other
commitments including work,
other events and squad
commitments etc. In the end
only two boats competed
alongside a fleet of
Enterprise and Lasers.
Philip David and Caroline
Clark sailing Out of the
Blue took up an early lead
from Howard Chadwick and
Helen Nicholson sailing
Squidgy Bits positions that
were maintained through to
the finish in a light but
consistent wind throughout
the two and a half hour long
distance race. As is
customary after the
riverside prize giving the
fleets and race officers
retired to the Keelman Pub
for some Tyneside
hospitality.
Royal Harwich Short Sharp
Series
Royal Harwich's Short
Sharp Series, April 2016
Royal Harwich Yacht Club
hosted an ad-hoc National 12
open meeting on Sunday 10th
April. Partly aided by the
Oppie Open Meeting at the
RHYC on Saturday, 10
National 12s (7 members
boats and 3 visitors) turned
out for the club's first day
of Sunday racing. This
enabled the oppie-parents
from Saturday to get out on
the water on Sunday (and in
some cases capsize more than
their children had on the
Saturday!)
