Title: End of Season November Blast
Post by: andy_peters on August 27, 2015, 10:10:46 AM: At the Nationals we discussed visiting Draycote in September (now shifted to November) for a blasting weekend.

Confirmed as the weekend 14/15th Nov. so people can leave their boats at Draycote and do the Dash the following weekend if they so wish.

From the water manager.

So, the usual silly questions, what do we want?

Photographer?
Rib?
Food?
and i take it we will join in with sundays windward/leeward racing?

Post by: pratn0 on September 01, 2015, 05:21:51 PM: all sounds good. I'm in and will be there with cheese for Saturday.
Title: Re: September Blast
Post by: JP233 on September 01, 2015, 05:25:47 PM: Wonderful, from memory a rib is £100, I can ask around for a photographer.
So as usual price to be arranged on the day.

I'm guessing same program as last year, blasting Saturday and join in club racing Sunday.

Accommodation: il try and find somewhere nice to send the parents, then Pearson HQ will be available.

Post by: HighwaytoHelm on September 02, 2015, 10:54:25 PM: Won't be able to make it unfortunately have a wedding that weekend. Would rather be blasting!
Title: Re: November Blast
Post by: andy_peters on September 04, 2015, 04:32:53 PM: All, the blast is being shifted to November though still at Draycote. Potentially the weekend 14/15th so people can leave their boats at Draycote and do the Dash the following weekend if they so wish.

Jamie will be confirming this after he has spoken to the water manager
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on September 06, 2015, 03:28:28 PM: Have got a green light for the 14/15th of November at Draycote.

This is the week before the Draycote Dash, that means you can come to the blast, leave your boat there and collect it the following weekend and compete in the dash.

so clear your weekends, or you better have a VERY good excuse not to be at either of the events!

Post by: RobinJones on September 06, 2015, 10:37:50 PM: All things being well, and post nationals repairs holding up, Banshee will be there.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: dave_ching on September 09, 2015, 08:53:34 AM: I will be going hopefully to both.
How can we publicise this to get people in to the class as try a boat?
Weather permitting I will take people for a spin the best boat for the job.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on September 09, 2015, 09:58:52 AM: I have made a Facebook event, but I'm not sure how far to push it.
I could share it on all the sailing clubs home page, but that could well be annoying for people
Has anyone got any other ideas?
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: dave_ching on September 11, 2015, 11:35:06 AM: The plan is a little clearer now.
I will be crewless for the Blast so I will take passengers in one boat or another.
I will bring Little Chilly with me.
What other peoples plans.
As I have no interest what people have for lunch even if it is in a famous coffee chain I will let others give advise on Facebook.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on September 11, 2015, 02:22:38 PM: Replying to you now from said establishment with a free beverage steaming away in front of me, I give you 3 options.

1. Curry house we used last year, in dunchurch means we can invite the non cherub people as its on their way home.

2. Drive back to pearson HQ, warwick, then walk up in to the centre for a weatherspoons.

3. Something compleatly different. (Please make suggestions.)

I would create a poll. Buy my telephone isnt having it.

Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on September 24, 2015, 10:27:51 AM: But then we need a responsible adult!

Post by: HannahJ on October 16, 2015, 07:28:14 PM: I will be there with a friend, sadly not with Crazy, but we are both relatively competent and would love a ride in whatever is going!
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: andy_peters on October 22, 2015, 03:05:51 PM: Shall I publicise this in Y&Y for non-Cherubists - say spaces will be available for rides on a 'try a cherub' basis?
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: dave_ching on October 22, 2015, 03:46:17 PM: Sounds like a good idea but check with Jamie I think he said we already have a few coming but if we know how many other helms/boats are free would may be able to take more.

Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: andy_peters on November 16, 2015, 09:44:34 AM: Apologies we didn't make it - family illness. How was the blast? Pretty windy all weekend.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on November 20, 2015, 12:33:53 AM: So, what happened?
The biblical wind didn't turn up, that's what.

The Midlands possee anticipated massive wind so left everything at home.
Upon arrival at the club we found a Ching! Rigging born slippy too!!
A plan was hurried together that involved a heroic dash from Draycote to Warwick for sails the angriest green boat.

The rest of the day was spent taking people for joy rides in sub epic cherub wind.
Boats in attendance were:
Banshee ambulance
Born slippy
Ej
Loco
Shiny

But let it be said, it was a good days sailing, just to be on the water again.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: Clive Everest on November 20, 2015, 05:44:16 PM: Anyone doing the Dash?

Good luck to those that are. Looks like a mix of wind and not too warm.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on November 20, 2015, 06:24:41 PM: some of us are doing it, but not in cherubs :S

Robin a streaker
Ellie a laser
josh a scorpian
and me a lowrider

Reason being, its not going to be a cherub friendsly course.
also we dont want to damage what clive has done to our handicap i recent years.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: andy_peters on November 20, 2015, 07:17:04 PM: Best you damage it and badly. Clive is far too fast.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: JP233 on November 20, 2015, 07:29:48 PM: The issue with that is that I would then have to wake up earlier to start the race with the oppis.
Swings and round about a I suppose.
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: HighwaytoHelm on November 20, 2015, 07:43:55 PM: I spent a week getting obliterated by everything at Brightlingsea in th summer, mind you I was racing off of Riot Vans handicap of 890
Title: Re: End of Season November Blast
Post by: Clive Everest on November 20, 2015, 09:11:25 PM: Have fun with the hiking. These events are not easy in a cherub.
However sailjuice have us on the same py as the 29er. In the right conditions a cherub could win. 90% off starters cannot.
It will require a lot of luck. But would be great publicity. People still remember Guy winning the bloody Mary in flat Stanley.
If the forecast is good we will try and see the Datchet flyer.
