Course Information: Portsmouth Yardstick Course and a First Aid Course
Ripon Sailing Club are hosting the following events:
Puzzled by Portsmouth Yardsticks? The RYA have released updated PY listings for 2011. There are changes to some very well established classes and it's likely that all our clubs will be affected by these changes. On Weds 30th at 7:00pm Bas Edmonds (RYA Technical Committee) will give a Portsmouth Yardstick talk in the clubhouse. Using results from 2010 racing at Ripon he will describe how the RYA determine Portsmouth Yardsticks, the role of clubs in this activity, and explain why clubs should adjust PYs. I'm sure that he will also be prepared to answer questions on the recent changes so if you want an explanation come and hear it from the horse's mouth (so to speak).
First Aid Course
We are running an RYA First Aid course on 26 March 2011 and have spaces available - if anyone is interested please can you let me know?
Contact: Jennie Clark, Commodore, Ripon SC
