The UK Cherub Nationals 2011 will be held at Lee on Solent Sailing Club from 16/08/11 - 20/08/11
This is an early warning to save the dates.
Further details will be released in due course.
-
Great Job Stu. Thanks for sorting that out.
-
5 days next year?
-
The actual nationals will be 4 days as usual, Tuesday - Friday.
As its our 60th Nationals, we are planning a "Spectacular" on the Saturday that will include on the water specials and hopefully an off the water evening event. We want this event to attract not just the nationals competitors but other people that have enjoyed cherubs over the last 60 years.
In order for that event to be a success, it really has to happen on a Saturday, so it made the most sense to butt the nationals on the front so that people can run the two events together and have Sunday to travel / recover.
Of course more details to follow, but Neil is right to question the change and these are the reaons for it.
We'll be looking for absolute maximum attendance, so if you have a cherub, we want to see it there !
-
The posts in this thread leading into discussing non nationals related, personal club selection have been moved to the members area.
-
I preffered the latter week as discussed at the AGM. The current dates clash with the Fastnet which i committed to in early november. I will have to see if I can get out of it otherwise I will have not sailed at three nationals in a row.
-
I hadnt noticed the dates clash but if thats the case then im afraid I currently have Fastnet commitments aswell...
-
I'm planning on coming. Sounds like it's going to be pretty epic this year.
My girlfriend (Lucy) and I are going to start piecing fuzzy back together in a couple of weeks over a series of long weekends (I have Fridays and Mondays off) and hopefully I'll start teaching her to sail when it starts to warm up a bit around easter.
I have no idea how I'm going to sort out logistics but I'll sort it somehow!
-
Sadly i'm not going to able to attend the nationals this year. going away on a family holiday in Weymouth on the 13th august
Ross, if you would like, i could tow it down when i go away, and drop it off on the saturday at the club (providing the club would be happy with this) and then on the 20th when i come home i could collect it for you and bring it back.
just an option for you that is there,

I forgot to mention that Fuzzy is in a garage in Leeds. Thanks though!
-
Time is short!
There I was thinking the Nationals are ages away, but then I looked at the calendar. Going off on my summer hols to France the first 2 weeks in August. Then take out the days in July when I've got work commitments and a 2-day trip to Scotland. That leaves 22 evenings. But I reckon at least half of those will get taken out by other general life stuff. That leaves about 11 evenings to get the boat fully ready and get in a trial sail or 2. Better get a move on!
-
You can do it Neil !
-
Have we got any idea of the price of this years nationals? I've looked but I can't find anything apart from dates.
-
Ross I have asked the club so hopefully information will be forthcoming soon. As soon as I know I will post on this thread.

and in view of the 60th would like to include / promote a 'cherub reunion dinner' ???

Hi Sue,
Perhaps you could give me a call or an email, my details are on the contacts page and we can have a chat there.
Graham

Hi
I dont seem to have access to contact details - maybe because Im a prob. . . .
but I gather the Parry s have been in contact with you . . . as they are now helping with the organisation . . all should be fine now!
Sue

Hi Sue
I will be speaking to Stephen and Angela tonight. Thanks for getting in touch I am really looking forward to sailing at Lee, see you in August.

I have spoken to LOSSC tonight, Camper vans / tents etc welcome in space behind the club. NOR will be available soon on club website, they will email me as soon as it's ready and also confirm the price.
Could anyone intending to go to Lee on Saturday or Sunday 13/14th please post here as the club need to sort boat parking with the council and pay a fee per boat per day. We are welcome to join in club racing on this weekend and also the following one if anyone feels they need to sail some more. The 60th celebration planned for Saturday the 20th has regrettably been cancelled, there will be a blast instead.
The club will also confirm the socials shortley.
Any questions please ask, and I will forward them to the club.
-
We intend to head down and sail on Saturday and Sunday prior to the nationals.
-
Carol has updated me with the current membership payments. We are 11 members down from last year.
There are a few people who are intending to be at the nationals who we haven't yet recieved membership fees from.
Association membership of one sailor from each boat is a requirement for nationals participation.
I would be grateful if you could pay by paypal before the event, post acheque to the Carol or pass a cheque to me during registration. If you pay by standing order please check that your standing orders have been directed to the new bank account.
Membership fees are used to promote the class and affiliate us to the RYA. The class committee offer their time in for free and use this money wisely for the benifit of the class.
-
We headed down to Lee-on-Solent this weekend and it looks set to be a fantastic week. There is a lovely rigging area and the sailing area even allows those on the shore to get a good view.
Entry forms, bargain price and the extensive social calendar will follow shortly (not from me :-) ).
-
I am going down on Sat 13 thought I had paid my membership feesvthe night before the draycote blast someting must have gone wrong as I have double checked and the payment did not go this was an error that will be corrected as soon as I can get to the laptop apologies are due for lateness . Looking forward to the Nationals. And some serious sticky time. For the next two weeks !

Lossc have said that early arrival is not a problem as all boats will now be in the compound for the whole event. We are very welcome to use the club and have been asked that we introduce ourselves at the bar. I am speaking to Steve and Angela tonight and will ask about the possibilities of using the club on Monday for sailing.

Is anyone else like me I am currently in the cricket club watching a fantastic Elvis impersonater at a friends 50th having done no packing not sorted out sailing kit and waiting for laquer to dry before getting boat backbone trailer.big and I also need a haircut and empty the van so I can have it valated lookingvlike a late afternoon arrival force me!
-
haircut and empty the van so I can have it valated
haircut?
empty the van??
have the van valeted??!!???!
Is this the same class I used to sail in? Just stuff the gear in the back and get a damn move on. If you turn up to the Champs with too much hair some kind soul will sort that out for you... Ask Danny Johnson...
-
Well the inside of my van smells like the backend of a cow so the wife refused to get in it and the haircut I'd for improved aerodynamics cause I need all the help I can get!
-
My Spanish friend Pablo told me a story once of a great Spanish sailor who had long flowing curly hair, it was obviously very light weight but if it was windy he could take a dip and his water soaked hair would give him an edge upwind with the added righting moment!
Not sure about 'giving him the edge' but a great story :-)
Sorry I won't be attending this week, weddings, honeymoons and work have made it impossible for me to get the week off let alone not having done any sailing for months. You will no doubt have a glorious week of sun and wind in my absense so enjoy it!
-
What an epic ! So many amazing memories i don't know where to start ! Oh yes: i might have left my buoyancy aid. its a black.p and b one with a torn pocket.

And the winner is?

Graham and Eddie in Riot Van
-
;D
-
Daily reports were sent to yachts and yachting. Final day just submitted. these could be coppied on to the web site by someone more capable than i.
Some great photos were taken by Eddie Mays some showing some quite close starts.
It was dificult to award some of the less serious prizes however fitting victims were found for all.
-
Left behind kit: we have Digby's white rash vest and a small vanity box of nuts bolts screws etc. Any takers for the latter? Digby, if you want the rashy before the inlands just let me have a postal address.
Sorry Will - I didn't see your buoyancy aid.
Thanks to everyone for a really enjoyable week. My right thigh is sporting all the colours of the rainbow but it was well worth it for the 20 knot kite run and full somersault.

Graham, I'll leave Wills BA in the galley part of the signal station (where you would have got tea etc during the event) with a tag to say you are collecting saturday.

Does anyone have the full race by race results? Y&Y only have the final points table

that would be good!
great to see you all here and all the modern innovations I have a few photos from the shore and will post a link here soon. . . . . . . .

I have sent Thank You emails to the commodore and race officer, and requested online full results sheets.
-
I understand there was some confusion post the event about the rule that if a boat hit the committee boat they would be DSQ'ed without a hearing.
It was included in the original sailing instructions at section 11 Marks and specifically under 11.2. This rule was also mentioned to competitors at the breifing. I did not see a change to S.i'S which changed this rule so we should expect that it stands for the whole of the event. I have kept my copy of the s.i.'s if anyone wants to queery this further.

sorry - I cant get the link to stay in the proper format :(
-
Sue they are fantastic ! especially the old ones, especially the one with the bikini clad beauty rigging the boat ! ah for the good old days !
And an action one with a capsize in the middle (I wont lower myself by guessing whose ancestor this might be !)
And ploughing downwind ..... only WANDROUS 698, must be the most photo'd boat !
Seriously Sue, we'd really be interested in getting these as best quality as possible, with as many names as you can put to faces on those pictures so we can make a "Southern Areas 19XX" page on the site for people to enjoy.
-
Thanks so much for these Sue - they're great. I love the artistic one of Born Slippy on the beach in all her chequered glory! Absolutely echo what Graham says - although perhaps I'd be a bit more PC about the bikini-clad beauty!
-
I thought I was being PC !!! You should have seen what I crossed out ;D
-
Ah well, in that case it could have been much worse. ::)
