Winter Series Update - Draycote

Post by Jenny Ball »

Hi All

For the avoidance of any doubt - the Winter TT at Draycote will not go ahead as planned on 16th January.

I am also expecting that the Thorpe Bay Winter TT scheduled for 13th February will not be able to take place.

If we are able to reschedule one or both of these events - we will absolutely do so. But it is too early right now to speculate, let alone know if or what would be possible.

In the meantime, its time to catch up on some armchair sailing in the warm - for example:
+ Read up on the hints, tips and guides on this website - or use the search function on this forum to look up that burning question you have been meaning to ask.
+ Take a look at the RYA online resources (youtube etc) - lots of seminars re: racing rules etc available.
+ Check out sailing book publishers for latest publications or long standing "bibles" such as The Catamaran Book by Brian and Tom Phipps. Fernhurst Books are one good website but there are plenty of others.
+ Read up on the changes to the Racing Rules of Sailing that have been updated for this year.
+ Have a go at Virtual Sailing Regatta - now with both dinghy/cat and offshore racing formats.
+ Steel yourself for the next round of the America's Cup over in New Zealand
+ Download the Vendee Globe app and follow the progress of the remaining competitors in the latter stages of this epic singhlehanded round the world race.

Most importantly, stay safe.

Jenny
