Flag Officers Friday Newsletter

Welcome to the Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club  Friday newsletter.

Yesterday the Tremadog Bay Pop up Regatta got underway, with racing organised for both IRC 1 and 2 Racers and NHC Cruisers, representing a wide spectrum of boats and up to 100 members taking part as crew or shore based supporters.

The regatta was devised by our race captain Vicky Cox, assisted by the club  racing committee and flag officers,  to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the Volvo Dun Laoghaire regatta. We wish all competitors and crew a great weekend's sailing. Further information is in the racing section below, where the skippers newsletter  is posted. 

There is a social programme arranged in Plas Heli,  with some special catering offerings and a live band tonight -the Jac Dobson a'r band, and  all are  welcome.

it will be wonderful to see members from all sections of the club on the water and/or in Plas Heli this weekend.

Congratulations to Andrew  Hall (Jackknife)  - winning the Lyver Race last weekend (Liverpool to Pwllheli), and well done to   Peter Dunlop and Vicky Cox (Mojito) Mark Thompson (Jac Y Do) and Paul Kitteringham (Finally) for completing the  tough 120 mile race

Cruising

Dear Competitor 

Thank-you for entering the Treamadog Bay Pop up Regatta, which is intended to be run as an informal fun event with a competitive edge, and an opportunity to socialise after racing, consistent with the current restrictions. The event will run in a broadly similar way to that of the Autumn Series,  a format which many are familiar with. 

 Please find below information which will hopefully be useful, and we wish you all a fun Regatta

Social

 We have organised a live band for the Friday social event, and the catering offerings (by the Panorama Bar and lounge) are detailed below:

 Thursday - Chilli Night

Friday - Hog roast and Live band - Jac Dobson a’r band - weather dependent on the deck.

Saturday - Caribbean Lamb Curry

Sunday - Carvery Dinner

Each social event will have vegetarian options, including a Vegan Chilli, and Veg Lasagane

The top deck is available for members and guests  to enjoy, providing refreshments are obtained from the bar, and the area left clean and tidy - a nice place to socialise with stunning views, in addition  to the other two decks on the first floor. 

 Communication

 The official notice board for the event will be a WhatsApp group called “Pop up Regatta notice board”

It’s not a chat group - plenty of other places for that, but somewhere for us to post messages/courses/results etc or for you to ask racing relevant questions, which we will attempt to answer as quickly as possible, consistent with the volunteer organisation workload.

 Racing Information.

All mark positions, fixed courses are published on the Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club Website, in the racing section here (ST please insert link

It would be very helpful if everyone could carry a copy of the the fixed courses on board to reduce our Race officers workload reading out courses, particularly as he is dealing with multiple classes. 

 Note with kind permission of SCYC we may also use the following marks:

 Tom Buoy

SCYC  NE

SCYC. E

The positions are all online in the racing section as detailed above.

Communications - Channel 17 “PSC Bridge”

Berthing

Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if berthing required, space is at a premium and an empty berth doesn’t imply it’s available.

 Prize Giving

There will be no daily prize giving, but results will be published online, and on the WhatsApp group. Jugs of beer for daily prizes may be delivered to lucky recipients! 

On the Sunday we will hold a final prize-giving, to handout some daily prizes, plus the overall prizes and championship trophy - “The Samedra Trophy”

This will hopefully be held on the deck, with a fallback location of the main hall if weather is an issue

 Please try an attend if possible - we have adhoc prizes!
