Chichester Yacht Club Regatta Sunday 9th June 2013.
Chichester Yacht Club were delighted to welcome sailors from around Chichester Harbour to their Regatta on the 9th of June. There was a fantastic turn out from Chichester members and the Itchenor keel boats brought a touch of class to this popular event.
Sailors had got into the swing of things the night before with a social event at CYC, the adults eating & socialising while the youngsters enjoyed a fabulous disco, which was a great success with the younger members.
The main race was down the harbour; with boats starting from yacht Gazelle kindly lent for the event by Ras Turner. Race offices Tony Mobbs, and John & Pam Miles, old hands at running the Regatta, were on board to manage the racing.
The conditions were warm, but the northerly Force 4 gusting F5 wind meant it was quite rough, the wind seemed even more gusty than usual!.

The 2000 fleet had some great competitive racing, with Chris Hodge & Louise Varley close to the front of the fleet until kit failure forced retirement. Jason Kirk having stepped out of his RS400 into a Laser 2000 for a day gave the visitors some close completion. Final results 1st John Townsend & Barbara Langford - Emsworth SC, 2nd Mark & Clare Sargent - Thorney Island SC, 3rd Jason Kirk & Jonathan Watkins - CYC. Read More...

Lady Todd Final Race Race 8, Saturday 1st June
The final race of the Lady Todd Series was held on Saturday 1st June. With a late tide only a single race was scheduled. The sun shone, the water was not too cold, summer had arrived! Race Office Richard Smale set a course in Chichester Basin, and allowed a reasonably long race as there was only the one race.
In the Fast Fleet/Modern Fleet Andy & Richard Clare in the RS400, having got on the water early to check the start line somehow managed to be well over at the start and had to return to re-cross the line. This allowed the RS200s and the 2000s to start out ahead. The race was led in the early stages by Ian Payne & Meryl Deane (RS200). They were soon passed by Tony Purse in his RS600, but they managed to keep ahead of the pack for some time. The Andy & Richard in the RS400 finally caught up and zipped past, Read More...

Lady Todd Races 6 & 7, Saturday 25th May
The bank holiday racing started with the 6th and 7th races of the Lady Todd series on Saturday, with a light breeze F 2-3 wind and sunshine. This almost summer weather even brought some sailors out of hibernation! Race Officer Ian Payne set a simple course in Chichester Lake.
In Race 6 the Fast Fleet got off to a good start with Jason & Sonia Kirk taking an early lead in their RS400 and staying well ahead of the chasing fleet. There were some large shifts in wind direction during the race, which Jason took good advantage of. 1st Jason & Sonia Kirk - RS400, 2nd Andy & Richard Clare RS400, 3rd Helen & Mark Green -2000.
In the Medium/Classic Fleet, while Charlie Porter got a good lead on the water in his Laser, Read More...
