Four CYC Boats went to DQSC Solo Open yesterday after our their own Open the previous day. In fact all the CYC boats had a better day, the pressure was off, we could just go and race and enjoy ourselves without organisation pressures.
With 27 entrants, Ian Barnett at first lead the CYC charge with Mark hot on his transom. Ian was sporting a new Rondar FRP Solo, having just taken delivery the previous day..
In a fresh 17-20 knot breeze, we all had a good time with Derek and Roger trading places, and Mark showing Ian how to roll tack in 20 knots, much to Ian’s delight. Ian then showed us all how to come in in on port at the windward mark... A full report can be found HERE

Lady Todd 1,2&3 Saturday 27th April 2013
The first races of the lady Todd series took place on Saturday 27th April. The day brought a stiff northerly breeze Force 4-5 with sun, but a cold wind. The sun brought a number of sailors back down to the club with the apparent, if late dawn of spring. Race office Ian Lissamore set a course in Chichester Lake, which gave a good range of sailing.
Race 2 was notable for a building breeze, providing exciting conditions. A sudden and dramatic gust, reading 32 Knots on Cambermet swept through the Fleet part way through the race. While a few of the leading boats managed to ride out the gust, the majority of the Fleet capsized. The conditions continued with very strong winds, and sailors struggled to get their boats upright.

Easter Race Training Camp for Young Sailors
Report and photographs by Luissa Smith
Chichester Yacht Club kick started its season for young sailors with a week-long training camp for sailors racing in the Optimist Class of dinghy. Running from 8-12 April, around 20 youngsters aged from 7-13 years old, were trained by three energetic and expert coaches – with a focus on race training, but most importantly fun. CYC and harbour club sailors were joined by youngsters from further afield, including Jersey.

The focus was to bring new racers and the more experienced racers together, and develop and improve their sailing skills ready for the summer season. Most importantly the camp aimed to enthuse everyone and forge social friendships between youngsters, with an overriding emphasis on fun – so the week was packed with entertaining activities both on and off the water.
