Slow Handicap Notes

Those who chose to twist over stick on the start line went very bust and had to throw a U-turn.  A Feva and Lightening were chief culprits,  names withheld for legal reasons.

The course was set to Drake’s Island with a short run to NW Winter and back to West Mallard.  The spring tide and gusty Westerly made for an ‘interesting’ ride both up and downwind. 

Martin and John did battle in the Solos over first place with Martin winning again.   Jon did get in front for a time – so there is hope for another name to top the results sheet.

Bella Fellows in the Feva managed the gusty conditions very smoothly and came in an excellent third place.

There were massive clumps of weed about causing some mysterious braking effect to a number of boats which was frustrating.

    Joining RPCYC

    New Members Are Most Welcome.

    (You do not have to be a boat owner to join and enjoy the R.P.C.Y.C)

    There is no better time to join the Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club than at present, as we are currently in the middle of an exciting Regeneration Programme aimed at transforming the club and the facilities offered. Also, for while, we are waiving the ‘Joining Fee’ which was 50% of the Annual Fee.

    The Clubhouse is being refurbished and we have just purchased a fleet of club owned dinghies of the latest specification in which Members can learn to sail at very advantageous rates compared with normal commercial rates in the area.

    Similarly, qualified Members can hire the boats again at favourable prices.

    We also have many members with larger yachts who participate in our sailing events and our cruising programme.

    We have a very full and varied Social Programme throughout the year with many of our members joining to enjoy the Social life of the club and the use of the Bars and Restaurant, and take in the magnificent Panoramic Vista from our Viewing Lounge and Large Balcony.
