Nore Race, 23 June
Four boats from Hoo Ness YC made it to the Nore Race and Lodestar (a classic Stella sailed by Mark and Helen Montgomery-Smith) won its class. See Benfleet YC website for the full provisional results. Winds were lighter and some of the slower boats struggled against the strong ebb.
Pirates Cave Event, Sat 30 June
Friends of Maritime Heritage Trust event, Sat 30 June
Richmond – Historic and ceremonial river craft and gentlemen’s yachts. The day will include behind the scenes visits and traditional boat trips on the Thames.
Finesse Rally
Nick Ardley, our well known local ditch-crawler, reports a fairly successful rally for Finesse clinker built yachts at Chatham last weekend.
You can read Nick’s blog about it here.
Two of the boats with their current owners had never sailed into the Medway before – one said, ‘I was fascinated by the activity and obvious remains to be seen…’ And she commented on how pretty it was.
MYC Cadet Week, 29 July – 3 Aug 2018
The event is open to MYC cadets, cadets from other RYA clubs and guests of MYC cadets. Attendees who wish to camp on site must be over the age of 12. The entry fee this year is £215, which is fantastic value for money with three meals a day, all sailing and evening activities and a hoodie/sweatshirt included in the price.
This event is only possible thanks to the time given generously by parents of cadets and other members of the club. Parents, etc, can you please let the organisers know by email via the link below which days you are available to help, either afloat with safety boat duties or shore side with breakfast, lunch, evening and night duties. A first draft duty rota will be issued soon, so it may be better to volunteer for what you want to do early.
