The water that laps our clubhouse wall connects us not only to a wide range of local ports and anchorages suitable for a weekend visit, but also beckons the more adventurous to the possibilities for longer distance sailing. Whether your taste is for the joys of cruising, watching the spectacle of barges or smacks racing, or participating in the challenge of a bit of yacht or dinghy racing, you need a means of keeping in touch with what others are doing in your club. To complement our many scheduled ‘organized’ sailing events, we encourage members to post their imminent cruising plans on an informal email network in order to help them to link up with other club members on more ‘ad hoc’ get- togethers. The purpose could be to meet up for a barbecue or a trip ashore, to gain familiarity with the passage or destination, or just for some company en route. Given the unpredictability of the weather (not to mention the composition of your crew!) it’s often easier to leave the decision about where to go on a particular sailing weekend to the last minute. Unfortunately this often results in your ending up at one of the same limited range of destinations thereby missing out on what might have been a great opportunity to socialise with other club members, and benefit from others’ knowledge of anchorages, pubs and other facilities. This year we will again use this email network to include reminders about forthcoming events, requests for crew and offers to crew, and any other topical items of potential interest to local sailors. Do please therefore join in – there’s no commitment – at the worst you will receive some emails saying where other club members are sailing to – and at best you will have some more enjoyable times on the water in the coming season. When the time comes, you just send a short email before the event to [email protected], to say (for example) that “<Boat name> is headed for the Deben on Saturday nth June probably mooring overnight at the Rocks or Waldringfield …” That message would go to all the people on the network and anyone interested in heading for the same destination could then liaise accordingly. Go on give it a try – what have you got to lose? To register your details (you can unsubscribe yourself at any time), just go to http://www.pmsc.org.uk/cruising.htm and follow the simple instructions. 3 PMSC Almanac 2009:Almanac 2008 16/3/09 14:11 Page 4 SUMMER PROGRAMME 2009 CLASS A - Cruising yachts with Portsmouth Handicap up to and including 1140 CLASS B - Cruising yachts with Portsmouth Handicap 1283 and over 4 CLUBS RIVER SERIES (EVENING STAR TROPHY) The first three boats from each Club to complete each race in the series will attract points according to their overall position on handicap. Points will be awarded as follows; 1st- 1 point; 2nd – 2 points; 3rd – 3 points and so on. All races to count, this changes RRS A4. Where fewer than three yachts enter from any one Club in any race, the absent yachts will be scored as the number of entries on the day plus 3. Yachts retiring will be scored as the number of entries on the day plus 1. The Club with the smallest total number of points will win each race and the Club with the smallest number of points over all three races will be the Series Champions. If only one vessel enters any race, the race will be void. TIME TRIAL COURSES Start and Finish Line: Orwell No 1 bearing 90°. Exit and return through harbour at sea courses.
