East Coast Piers Race sponsored by Zhik

67 boats made their way to Marconi Sailing Club for the annual East Coast Piers Race over the weekend of the 9th and 10th July.

The East Coast Piers Race is a long distance race weekend for fast dinghies and raising money for The Cirdan Trust and Essex Air Ambulance.

East Coast Piers Race 2016With free camping available from Friday through to Monday many competitors arrived on Friday to get their boats rigged.

After morning registration and a good breakfast on Saturday there was a midday briefing for a 1pm start with conditions forecast for the afternoon of racing where the race officer was hoping to get two races in.

A course was set which took the sailors up and down the River Blackwater to give them a healthy warm up for Sunday. It was a breezy start to the weekend with a few capsizes in the first race, mainly around the windward in the larger chop.

Many of the competitors thought it would be best to sit out the second race and prepare for Sunday.

August & September 2016 Navigans 2 Marconi Sailing Club www.marconi-sc.org.uk

At 6pm on Saturday the official race briefing was held in the marquee, with Adnams as a race sponsor it was rude not to have a beer in your hand during the briefing. As soon as the briefing finished the BBQ was ready and the sailors and their guests tucked in! After the BBQ the bar was continuing to sell beer where the visitors and Marconi members were making their donation to charity by drinking. Later in the evening a band came on and entertained everyone until very late.

As per usual, and not at the request of the usual person, the camp site was woken at 6am by the sound of Sweet Caroline and Neil Diamond through the PA system. A firm favourite with many of the competitors, or maybe not but it’s becoming tradition. With the first race start scheduled for 8am an early start was unfortunately needed to match the tides.

The East Coast Piers Race which takes sailors 48 miles to Walton and back was the first to start at 8am. Due to the wind forecast and possible force 7 gusts it was decided on Saturday that the course would be shortened to Clacton, making the race around 38 miles.

The Colne Point Race (27 miles) started at 8.15am and then the Bradwell Race (13 miles) for fast dinghies at 8.30am.

In the full ECPR race it was the Dinghy Rope which had the best start flying off the line with the Marconi Commodore at the helm. As the fleet reached Thirslet Spit they were over taken by John Gimson and Pete Jary sailing the big pink Nacra 20 Carbon. Closely behind were the Hurricane and Windrush Tornado followed by a fleet of F18’s.

Through the Bradwell gate and out towards Colne Point the wind was building and the waves were getting bigger making a 2 sail reach very tricky! It was at this point that the foiling Nacra F20 overtook the Tornado and started to catch up the non foiling Nacra 20 Carbon.

The two Nacra 20’s then started to pull away through the Colne Point gate and up towards Clacton pier which was the turning point. All the way back from Clacton it was a long beat with only 12 tacks made along a distance of 19 miles.

As the ECPR fleet were heading back from Clacton they came across the Colne Point race boats which were going around the Colne Point marker and heading for home. This meant the fleets were arriving back in mass at Marconi after a long beat back.

First back in the Colne Point Race were Kevin Dowley and Tom Brooks from Marconi sailing a Tornado. First back in the ECPR in a time of just over two hours were John Gimson and Pete Jary who took the line honours trophy.

Due to the quick race the prize giving was held at 1.15pm, much earlier than usual meaning the sailors could head off home early. First up was the raffle where our race sponsors had donated some fantastic prizes. William Harrison was the lucky guy who took home the top prize of £750 worth of Zhik sailing gear.

It’s important to note that although this is a long distance event there are yachts anchored at every mile ready to give assistance along with a fleet of ribs in between them in key areas of the course. Marconi also ensure that essential safety gear is carried on each boat.

A massive thank you to our sponsors for the weekend Zhik, Adnams, Dinghy Rope, GP Sails, Funky Monkey Boat Names, Yachts and and The Moment Images.

Fleet News

Cruiser Fleet

Well it’s been a busy month, 22 club members set out to drink the Ionian dry on 9 boats. The two weeks were full of amusing incidents ranging from watching a 60ft Belgian boat trying to anchor in 25m of water only to see his chain disappear in to the depths as the bitter end was not tied on and then asking a club member to free dive to collect it, to the same member throwing bread at a large turtle. I don’t know what turtles eat but it’s not bread. A diary can be found later in this report and also with pictures on the club web site.

We also had our cruise to Tollesbury with 5 boats going into the marina and 21 sitting down for a meal in the clubhouse. This was organised by Cheryl Cutmore.

The weekend after, the ECPR race had a large number of cruisers acting as mother boats. Thank you all.

At the time of writing, the Heybridge cruise and bbq is in a few days with 14 boats booked in.

Looking ahead, we have the Ipswich cruise on 27/28/29 of August which has been organised by Bob Godbold and the list is now on the club notice board.

As I said at the last cruiser AGM, both myself and my deputy intend to stand down at the end of this year so two volunteers with lots of new ideas are needed. If anyone wants to know what it involves, please feel free to talk to me.

BROWN CUP MCGREGOR WINS BROWN CUP. BLUE MOON & MONKEY BUSINESS 2ND & 3RD IN THRILLING IRC RACE. 19 cruisers passed the club on Saturday lunchtime, in what turned out to be a thrilling and close Brown Cup race between the Marconi representatives.

Crazy Suzy and Monkey Business were at the head of the fleet with Blue Moon and McGregor 3 in hot pursuit. Sailing the longest course on the card, Ned Kelly had a close boat race towards the back of the fleet, whilst Caroline swapped positions throughout.

After the turn at Wallet No3, Crazy Suzy took the lead all the way home on the windward leg, whilst McGregor 3 got ahead of all the other IRC boats on the water. Blue moon remained close on her transom, always close enough to be ahead of her on corrected time and approaching Colne Bar the team on Blue Moon looked as if they might have overhauled series leader, Absolution.

Monkey Business then started her charge back up the Blackwater in an attempt to claw back her time, and by the time she had rounded No12 off Bradwell she had passed, Behave and McGregor. Absolution had got back into the groove on the homeward leg and was now 2nd on the water behind Crazy Suzy, it was now all about, how much time Monkey Business might get ahead of McGregor and Blue Moon whilst Triton, not far behind, would also have a say in the final positions of this exciting IRC race.

Absolution (Eric Reynold – Maylandsea) finished 1st on corrected time after more than 6.5 hours of racing.

Blue Moon (Richard Robarts – MSC) had a super race in 2nd place, beating Monkey Business (Dave Onyons – MSC) by 1:47 mins who were 3rd. Triton (Peter Copsey – BSC) was just 62 secs back in 4th place whilst McGregor 3 (Steve Purdue) was a further 70 secs behind.

All 7 IRC rated boats finished within 20 minutes of each other on the water, and on corrected time, the first 5 boats were separated by just 7:48 mins

Using the BJRC local handicaps on which all 19 boats in the fleet are scored, Steve Purdue and Monica Wolff racing McGregor for just the 3rd time, came out on top and are this years winners of the MLSC Brown Cup.

The full results and report can be found here on the BJRC website.

WOOZLE HUNTER WITHIN REACH OF EAORA CHAMPIONSHIP Woozle Hunter finished 2nd in the EAORA Harwich to Ramsgate race last weekend, in a light wind passage race that saw many competitors, resorting to motor and a d.n.f.

In typical ‘never say die’ attitude, Ian & Laura Ivermee and their crew which included Lydia Coffey (Ned Kelly Skipper), completed the race in 12.5 hours, in company with much higher rated boats, and just missed out on first place by 3 minutes on corrected time from Eclipse sailing out of the Haven Ports YC.

With just 2 races left in the EAORA series, Woozle Hunter sits on top of the leader board and looks firm favourite to take the series win from Ape-X, another HPYC boat, 3rd in the race to Ramsgate, who needs to win both remaining races.

It’s been a super series so far for the Woozles, and with 5 wins in a 7 to count series, there’s every possibility of them notching up a perfect score.

Go Woozles!

NED KELLY – 1ST MARCONI BOAT AND 6TH OVERALL – BJRC RACE 6 Lydia Coffey and her crew of new members were rewarded for their efforts this season by finishing as 1st Marconi boat, in 6th place overall in BJRC race 6 last Saturday.

Ned Kelly, regularly seen training on none race weekends, have gradually moved up towards the fleet as the crews skills and teamwork have developed throughout the season, and on Saturday they made their mark. The teams day of success began by beating both McGregor 3 (Steve Purdue) and Caroline (Andy Ellis) to the first mark off Tollesbury, (WMYC No3) after kedging right on the start line. Then as the breeze returned on the passage out into the estuary, Ned Kelly was well ahead of similarly handicapped boats.

John Littlewoods crew on Crazy Suzy were once again leading the fleet on both passes of North Eagle, whilst Richard Robarts on Blue Moon chased down IRC rivals Evolution (Maylandsea), who were themselves trying to shake off Triton (Blackwater).

On the long return to the Tollesbury mark the lighter asymmetric boats of the local handicap class were seen to be doing battle among the IRC class. ‘It’s a pity that these boats didn’t have an IRC rating as seeing them in the result sheet would have made for interesting reading’, one Marconi member commented.

Once past Bradwell, Crazy Suzy at the head of the fleet was the first to suffer the failing breeze. Luckily the tide pushed the fleet back towards the line, but off Marconi many of the leading pack of boats became tightly bunched as they tried to make the line at Osea.

Only 30 minutes covered the 20 boat fleet after 6.5 hours of racing and in the local handicap result the Maldon YC Salver was won by Rod Martin on Moondance a First 21.7 from Harlow BSC.

In the IRC class Triton (Peter Copsey BSC) came first, with Blue Moon (Richard Robarts) in 2nd ahead of Absolution (Eric Reynolds MBSC)

But the honours of being 1st Marconi boat in the local handicap result went to Ned Kelly. Congratulations guys, and very well done!

The Marconi cruiser race fleet will next race the Harwich passage race weekend on 13-14th August. Anyone interested in getting involved in cruiser racing should contact Peter Ward. There are team places available on a number of our boats.

IONIAN ODYSSEY 2016 Holiday booked through Sailing Holidays that provided us with a very useful and comprehensive marina guide including excellent photographs of the majority of the marinas in the whole region.

An enormous thanks to Jackie and Roger Camp for organising the most exceptional Summer Cruise. What an amazing fortnight. The scenery, the sailing, the weather, the food, the drink, the company. And of course an extra large portion of laughter. I can’t think of any way of improving it. Here is my diary style record of our two week holiday in Greece, starting in the Northern Ionian sailing to the Southern Ionian and back stopping at many wonderful places along the way.

Plataria Our first taste of the Ionian. A beautiful bay skirted by mountains with a lovely shingle beach with restaurants spilling out onto it. We enjoyed our first meal at Olga’s on the marina. One of the local cats decided to pee through the pergola roof onto Jan causing much mirth and an interesting aroma. It was great to all be together if the restaurant had a problem with dealing with the volume of dinners ordered. We stayed another day in Plataria due to strong winds and rain in the morning. We gathered for a quiz after lunch then went out for a sail round the bay in the afternoon. We had a lovely dinner on the beach. It was quite difficult sitting on chairs on the shingle beach and there was a dominos effect moment when Mike Cutmore toppled over and he and Cheryl tipped off their chairs. Was the wine to blame?! A great place to watch the sun go down and see the stunning sunset.

Gaios Fabulous sail over. Gaios has lots of restaurants which early in the evening started to release the ever tempting smell of bbqed meat and many different shops selling a wide variety of goods. Somewhere that might be worth staying for another day. We had dinner at Genesis overlooking the the bay. Enormously pretty. All sorts of different craft moored against the long winding harbour wall with a pretty little beach tucked round the corner that was ideal for a cooling swim.

Spartatahori Early start and big swell to Lefkas Canal where we were able to stop for lunch moored against the quayside before going through the canal and on to Spartatahori, Meganisi, Steve and Gerry’s Quay. – totally beautiful spot. Dinners were usually dip style starters, grilled cheese or stuffed vegetables. Fresh fish, squid and mussles could be had as well as popular favourites such as mousaka, kebabs and spicy meat balls. Spartahori was surrounded by stunning pine covered hills. We swam off the boat after mooring up and all got together for a joint meal. Walk up to cliff top in the morning before leaving to see view of the whole Ionian. Really beautiful (but isn’t it all!)

Kalamos Georges restaurant – dinner on the beach with stunning backdrop of the distant misty mountains. Great sail down alongside Richard and Margaret. Did not find the bay with the church that was recommended for lunch stop. Lunch for us was usually local produce such as Feta cheese, olives, enormous fresh ripe sweet tomatoes , stuffed vine leaves with crusty freshly baked bread dipped in olive oil. A naked girl on the beach rather startled Richard when he swam ashore. He believes she may have had an accident with the strimmer. We swam off the boat and snorkelled round rocks. Later we all met in the local cocktail bar for pre dinner drinks.

Vathi On our way to Big Vathi on Ithaka we raced to One House Bay. Had our usual lunch, snorkelled and fed fish. Woke to still flat calm and immense heat! Wide populated bay. Rafted on quay. Delish yoghurt with honey and fruit for breakfast. Some took 20 minute walk into village. It was way too hot so we made off and welcomed the cooling sea breeze.

KionI Made off early for Kioni. Lunch stop then early in to port to find good spot and avoid mooring away from the quay and using tenders. Had to moor out with stern lines which made an interesting muddle to negotiate in the tender to get on and off. Punch party on the quay. Really good dinner at Three Windmills right by the beach. Had enormous fun attempting to get back on board the boats after a wine or two. Lots of shrieks of laughter from Sue Arnold and Sue Booth finding keeping dry impossible. Lunch stop in a pretty little bay just before Frikis. Moored up and got in the water for a swim and snorkel. As we entered the bay a young woman was waving at us. To our surprise the police turned up and moved us on due to mooring too close to the beach and being a danger to swimmers. It would appear the waving young woman was telling us to go away and called the police!!! Totally mad!! We moved onto an adorable little bay that was perfect.

Decided to stay another day in Kioni to chill. All the fleet got spaces along the quay. Sampled the yoghurt and fruit and walnut for breakfast. A new take on delicious! All swam off the quay from steps down the rocks. Enormous racing yacht came into the bay and anchored but neglected to secure the anchor and the whole lot fell to the sea bed! Peter Clayton, in swimming at the time was asked if he could dive down for it. Naturally de didn’t! All met up for pre dinner drinks at Derek and Hillary’s boat. All had dinner at Avra. Lots of feline friends came to share with us! The wind got up and blew strongly all night. And kept blowing the following day.

August & September 2016 Navigans 6 Marconi Sailing Club www.marconi-sc.org.uk

Sivota was the next stop. Sailing holiday base. Lots of Tavernas and shops fringed by wooded mountains. Small beach for swimming. Could over the harbour in tender. Lunch swim in bay by Frikes avoiding nutty sunbathers.

Preveza Stopped at Goat Bay for a swim. Went through Lefkas Canal 4pm opening. Wind speed had gathered. Great sail up to Preveza on foresail only. Moored on the quay. Very hot. Good town with lots of tavernas and shops. Great meal. Enormous mullet – delicious cool spot outside the restaurant and inexpensive. Busy night. Sue Arnold’s anchor was not holding and had to be relaid. Next boat to us decided to run engine at 11pm! Hot night had to spend time in the cockpit cooling off.

Parga Early start for Parga. Possible stop at Two rocks bay. The bay was stunning. We swam snorkelled and had lunch. We were moored grounded on the beach at Parga and had fun on the paddle board. We caught the ferryboat into town. Large bustling town with Venetian fort on the hilltop. The majority of us went up for dinner in a restaurant by the fort with spectacular views over the bay. Bit of a challenge getting off the boats and shopping in the morning.

Stopped at Emerald Bay for lunch on the way to Mongonisi. The bay seemed deserted then we were joined by a pleasure boat overflowing with people. The bay was transformed from a tranquil paradise to the local lido! Had a great evening in Mongonisi Greek dancing which started with a demonstration given by the locals after which we were all pulled up to have a go ourself. Much to all the ladies delight the local lad performed stripped to the waste exposing a gorgeous muscular torso that it would gave been rude not to have gazed at.

Sivoter Muertos We hugged the coast of Mongonisi then took a 45 degree course to SM which enabled a sail over. There being no opportunity to stop in a bay to lunch and swim we had our lunch whilst under sail. This seemed rather decedent and definitely rather clever!

We all assembled for a briefing ashore and Jan got a tart with candles for Ellen our hostess who was 29 that day. The girls donned wacky glasses and we were given ‘viagera’ shots by the bar owner. A few jokes were exchanged.

We had dinner at George’s which was superb. A few shops to wander round and daft hats to try on.

Plataria Dropped off for a swim after a yoghurt honey and fruit breakfast. Nice little beach just before Plataria then into Plataria stern to by Olga’s. The last evening of the most amazing holiday we all got together for dinner on the beach.

There was some concern as it had rained earlier but the skies had cleared and we decided to take a chance. Was the most perfect evening. Food was fabulous. The restaurant put out oil filled torches to light the table then we dined and watched the most wonderful display of the day turning to night and the sun slowly sinking into the sea creating the most wonderful orange glow.

Happy sailing

Pico Mainsheet Advice

Pico mainsheet cleating is through a centre ratchet block to a side cleat either side. Although this works OK, after many years sailing a with a combined centre ratchet block and swivel cleat I would prefer this hardware set up.

Is this possible, can available parts be used with the 4 screw holes that exist in the Pico hull? Recognise that this would probably infringe class rules - not a worry. Would much appreciate comments/advice on this subject please to [email protected]

Chernobyl Children On The Water At MSC

As in the previous two years, MSC once again played host on Tuesday 5th July to twelve special youngsters from Ukraine, giving them an unforgettable lifetime experience, which for most of them was their first time on the sea. The children: six boys and six girls aged between 8 and 13, are on a one-month recuperative holiday organised by the South Essex branch of the Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline charity. They have all grown up near the ill-fated Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where local communities continue to be affected by health problems thirty years after the nuclear disaster. The children visiting are being treated at home for a range of health issues, and their time in England enables them to enjoy uncontaminated food and fresh air, whilst experiencing wonderful activities thanks to the generosity of organisations such as Marconi Sailing Club.

Our young cadets (and slightly older volunteers) did a fantastic job of entertaining their visitors with a warm welcome which was reflected in the gradually emerging sunshine. The day started with a trip up the river on Top Cat, Jack B and the RIBs past Mundon Point to hang out with curious seals popping up for a peek at these young visitors from afar, and everyone enjoyed an exciting ride back for lunch… all against the backdrop of the beautiful Essex coastal landscape so utterly different from their home hundreds of miles from the coast in Ukraine. Not all could be persuaded to taste the salty water! The afternoon was spent in exciting sailing conditions in the club’s smaller dinghies, all the children were soaked but the big grins remained and they even tried their hand at crabbing.

The youngsters, still excited by their adventure on the high seas, then treated the Marconi volunteers to a lovely rendition of a Ukrainian folk song as a thank you. They will go home refreshed, healthier, and with memories to last a lifetime.

Thanks to all those that volunteered their time, energy and boats, and for giving our visitors such a great day.
