All Class 1 racing this year will be run under the IRC handicap system, for all yachts holding a valid 2012 certificate.
Would all skippers please send 2012 certificates to the Sailing Secretary, Paul McSorley (paul@mcsorleyp.wanadoo.co.uk) in advance of their first race of the season.
Yachts without valid IRC certificates are eligible to race in Club Class 2 under the performance handicap system.
The Opening Day Lunch will start the Club’s social season on Sunday 15th April in the Clubhouse at 1pm.
Jane and Audrey from our own Cafe B-Calmed are providing catering with a choice of menu and table service. The cost per person is €20 or £17 with a charge for kids of €5 or £4. Wine and other beverages will be available from the bar. We will look forward to a great turn out for our first members’ get-together of the season.
The Race Calendar for 2012 has now been finalised and published on the LSYC web-site.
Further information will follow over the coming days.
Less than seven weeks to go – will you be ready?
One of our most enthusiastic young sailors, Stephen Doherty, was accepted onto the UK Sailing Academy Cadet Programme at the weekend.
This is a three year third level apprenticeship based in Cowes, and involves a two day selection procedure.
This is a great achievement for Stephen and we have a feeling that he’ll be going on to greater and better things in the sailing world in the future.
Congratulations Stephen!
