Out and About !

While we have been ‘algea’ed off the Tarn members have been out and about flying the flag for Yeadon.


The Streakers lead the way when they attended the Ripon Open meeting and left their boats there, subsequently, amongst others, John with his Laser and Phil with his Graduate have joined them.

South Shields Topper Open

The Juniors have been the busiest ! The Toppers have been out on the road, on the sea for the South Shields SC Open Meeting, sailing in epic conditions on Rutland Water in the RYA Zone Championships and training at Carsington Resevoir. A number will also be at Pennine Open next weekend and possibly the Autumn Open at Carsington the weekend after.




Toppers on the far side of Rutland Water

 Matt and Ben have been sailing their 420 at Burton and on the South Coast training at Itchenor, however the they would have preferred not to have meet the port tack boat quite the way they did ! While Luke has been doing the Northern Laser Open training sessions at Derwent, Sunderland, and will be at Yorkshire Dales and Scaling Dam in the next few weeks. He has also been doing the World/European (and RYA Youth squad) autumn qualifiers – at Sunderland where he did really well and at Pwllheli where he didn’t ! The last qualifier is at Plymouth in a couple of weeks time which is a long way to go!

420s Inlands at Burton

The National 12s have come across both extremes of conditions in Open Meetings they attended over the last two weekends. At Yorkshire Dales it was too windy to hold the last two races while and Ripon on Sunday they didn’t have enough wind to race. They are heading up to sail on the River Tyne at Newburn in a few weeks time.

If you are missing your regular fix of sailing please, like a number of fellow Club sailors, please take advantage of the kind offers we have had from Yorkshire Dales and Ripon Sailing Clubs to join in with their Club racing programme. Please speak to Tim, or any Committee member if you need any more information about sailing at either Club.
