July 2024 Newsletter

Welcome to this July Edition of the CHPSC Flag Officers Newsletter I hope everyone has enjoyed some quality time on the water, making use of the limited weather windows we seem to have experienced this year! I know many have embarked on cruises to Ireland and Scotland, and we look forward to hearing all about these. We had an excellent club Regatta at the end of June shared with the RNLI with a fun race, and a welcome back to the Shannon ALB, with a BBQ and live music after in Plas Heli. Lots of racing in ISORA and Cork week, and many Dinghy events taking place now, with the ILCA fleet training this week following their Welsh National champs, and we start building up to the two big events in August - the Optimist nationals and GP14 World Championships, with CHIPAC boats entered in this event. Congratulations to our young team placing 4th in the Royal Yacht Squadron Commodores invitational challenge - it was great being in Cowes supporting the team, lead by team manager George Bird-Jones and skipper Chris Jones. A report can be found on the club website. Ruth James - On Saturday 27th July, Bohdan and Ruth’s family invite all that new Ruth for a a celebration of her life, starting at 3pm VOLUNTEERS We are looking to find a volunteer to look after our membership process, it’s a role that can be carried out remotely, and full training will be given If interested, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. We also invite anyone who would like to help, in any capacity with the two big events in August, in any role or capacity. Please email the commodore address as above. Crane - the crane will be in daily use now launching and recovery event ribs- can we attempt to keep this area clear to allow us space to get the trailers in. The old Versa Dock should be moved this week, so will free up some parking. Finally I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of long standing member Patricia Williams last week, and have sent our condolences to former Commodore Gerallt Williams. Further details can be found on the web site. I wish everyone safe and successful boating, in all its forms, and look forward to some better weather in August, and a chance to catch up in Plas Heli and enjoy hearing about everybody’s adventures. ‍Hwyl - Good Sailing Mark H.
