Paul H-A Vice Commodore waiting for the tide PISC Basic Dinghy Sailing Course We have trained our first tranche of PISC Assistant Instructors so they were all trained and briefed to Torrential rain for the PISC AI Course hold the first Basic Dinghy Sailing Course in June. The Basic dinghy sailing course had its first six willing volunteers who took part, two ladies and four men. It is hoped that a second course will be programmed for the Autumn. Over the four busy days PISC Chief Instructor Phil M and the new PISC AI’s took the candidates through all the PISC basic sailing syllabus. The weather for the course was warmer and less windy than for the Assistant Instructor course though it was just about on the upper edge of F3 which made the instruction challenging. The course covered boat work, dry sailing techniques, safety, first aid /hypothermia and knot tying. Lessons on the weather, tides and local conditions at Agios Georgios John L instructing were also covered. Successful candidates will receive a PISC certificate in due course. It was very noticeable that the candidates were very keen initially and they were challenged thoroughly throughout the course. If you wish to go on a course please contact Bill or Phil. We did take some HD video of the sailors at sea so if you would like to have it Scotty has it on an SD card. The members actually enjoyed righting their capsized boat (Dabulamanzi) and swimming the 50metres to the safety boat on completion. John L and Chas were the crash dummy instructors in the water for each students capsize. Well done all who took part and congratulations to everyone, instructor and student all. Wayfarer’s in doors!

We all enjoyed dancing to the disco music and a lovely dinner spread from Kamares Club Staff. The ball has now got the season off to a grand start. Bring on the Sailing (not that we have stopped over the winter)! Dhekalia Regatta 23 May 2014 Our first away match involved camping, sailing and a very social weekend par excellence. We took 4 dinghies, Cdre Kit and Bob S took the club “Hartley” (Kestrel), B Layng took “Red Kite” (Kestrel), D Cdre Kit, Kestrel Hartley and the Pisc team dinghies at Stragroom loaned a Laser 1. Sharon K also borrowed Dhekalia Sailing Club Regatta a Laser to use her own 4.7 rig on. Dave S and Brian G 20 – 22 June 14 PISC Summer Regatta took Merlot (Wayfarer) Lots of dinghies on show. Visitors with three boats from Dhekalia reciprocated our attendance at Dhekalia in May Pisc away team evening cocktail party in the woods Another swinging Regatta was enjoyed by all and we had 25 boats in the races. Paul. H-A officiated as the R.O. The original intention was to have a Laser fleet, a Wayfarer Fleet, a Kestrel Fleet and General Handicap Fleet. We achieved all but the Laser fleet so the Lasers moved into the General Hadicap fleet. Dhekalia SSC brought two Laser 2000’s and a RS200 which were all very competitive. Our usual strange weather patterns for regatta days gave us a Friday afternoon race in upper F4 wind. On Saturday it really blew F5 with harbour entrance very rough. The option to withdraw from the racing was taken seriously by our novice sailors which is good. There were some really big seas with 2 to 3 metre swells for the afternoon races. I sailed on my Laser and the Brian L sails off on Kestrel “Red Kite”. Jim PISC harbour entrance rollers almost took me out but for Beachmaster the fact I turned into a big “boiler” which was very white and very big. Once through it conditions at sea were a little better and I did complete the race. 3 Saturday 21st Regatta beach party Georgios for our normal Thursday sailing day.

The competitive sailors started to leave fairly early so that they could be well rested Boat Reviews – Tony and Brigitte’s for the Sunday racing. The regatta party was hugely popular and a lovely event. Thanks to Koula for her “Way 2 Go” loan of the café and alternate clubhouse! The Sunday was calmer and the sea had subsided again with lack of overnight wind. That’s the weather out here! The series races were very slow with some boats not reaching the windward mark by the time the lead boats had finished the Olympic course. Despite this we had enough sets of results for the Regatta Committte to work with. Dhekalia did collect quite a few trophies so they went away happy with their haul Summer unsheduled Sail First J/80 Regatta PISC were asked to assist Sail First who were holding Tony & Brigitte sailing “Way 2 Go” for the first time a regatta for visiting sailors on Thursday 3rd July by together.

  • Help Buying a Wayfarer
    Help For Buying A Wayfarer If you are looking at a well-built and well-designed sailing dinghy, the Wayfarer is your boat. The Wayfarer is also extremely versatile. She provides a challenge to the expert who wishes to push her to the limits. Frank Dye, for instance, is known around the world for his Wayfarer exploits, which include Wayfarer “Cruises” from the north of Scotland to Norway and to Iceland! Yet the Wayfarer is forgiving and robust enough to tolerate the learning experiences of the beginner. With the introduction of the Hartley Mark IV Wayfarer in the UK in 2007 and in North America in 2011, the Wayfarer has been transformed into modern craft. New If you have decide to go with a new Hartley Mark IV, this version now comes with a fully sealed and self-drain cockpit with outboard scuppers and transom flaps on both sides to quickly drain away water at all times. Sealed buoyancy compartments ensure greater safety, especially during and after a capsize. The uncluttered deck configuration provides a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing seating and hiking surface. The modern spinnaker chute system enables the spinnaker to be raised and lowered with incredible ease, while the option of an asymmetric spinnaker gives cruising and training boats a wider choice of sail options. As a buyer all you have to decide is if you wish to race, cruise, day sail or train people how to sail and NP Boats US can deliver you a boat set up to your wishes, fully rigged and tuned. All you will need is a PFD and a body of water to go for your first sail.

  • A Scilly Idea
    A SCILLY IDEA Why not sail from Lands End to the Isles of Scilly and then back again in a Wayfarer Dinghy? This somewhat seemingly crazy idea came about following a successful non-stop circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight in 2014. This is an annual event that is very well organised by Jenny Jeffs, John Norman and a team of supporting volunteers from the Wayfarer Association. What a brilliant idea I thought! And so almost a year later a date was placed on the calendar that met the requirements of tide and predicted weather conditions and which also suited all the expected participants. However the weather did its At 09.30 hrs we set off from the beach in a force 4 southerly own thing, bringing the intended proceedings to a halt just 24 wind on a close reach and following a bearing of 255 degrees hours before the scheduled departure time. We soon realised that took us out past the Longships Lighthouse.
