What a fantastic year the Club has had in 2017. Another successful Round Mull Race attracted a strong feet of around 40 boats. The West Highland Yachting Week had a well organised and enjoyable 70th Birthday event with a healthy numbers and exciting racing in all classes. There have been some great social occasions including the launch supper, WHYW barbeque and a tremendous Annual Prize giving Dinner Dance shared with guests from the Round Mull race winners. Our training programme continues to develop with lots of training courses including the new primary and adult dinghy courses held in August, the powerboat level 2 and powerboat refresher courses. Following successful Lottery funding applications, the club was able to strengthen the club dinghy feet with the purchase of the larger Laser Bahia and two new Topper dinghies to add to the existing feet of Toppers, Pico’s and the Oban High School Feva’s. The Club has been successful in gaining further RYA Support over the next 18 months to assist in developing the club activities, access and membership. We are grateful to Robin Nicol, RYA development offcer for his help. Affliated with the Club, UHI Wind and Wave Club (WWC) continue to prosper with increasing student membership and acquisition of a feet of 6 Firefy dinghies providing productive training and competitive team racing opportunities. Looking ahead, we are planning a busy social program, a variety of training opportunities and further refnement of our sailing program for 2018. Our Winter Social events will bring a variety of talks and slideshows ranging from summer cruising expeditions to the latest technical aspects of sail trim. Our training programme is being led by Jamie Rodgers, with RYA navigation courses, VHF and First Aid courses planned to maintain and enhance our member’s skills. Dinghy training is planned to follow the successful format of last year for Oban High School pupils in early summer with primary and adult dinghy courses in early August. We are keen to encourage the new primary and adult dinghy sailors of 2017 to develop their sailing skills with Dinghy improver sessions to provide a link between starter courses and competitive sailing. 4 COMMODORE’S REPORT continued The dinghy racing programme will include joint team racing events with UHIWWC, which will give OSC members a chance to race in Firefy dinghies and sharpen the SAMS student skills before they enter the fray of the Scottish University team racing circuit. We are retaining the keelboat racing programme and aim to include new initiatives this year with Keelboat training led by Joey Gough to improve skills of keelboat handling as well as introducing new opportunities for members to learn crewing skills so they can enjoy and participate in the evening and weekend club keelboat events. Powerboat training continues under the helm of Derek Grier with level 2 courses plus refresher training for existing safety boat drivers to develop skills and confdence when experiencing actual dinghy rescue and recovery situations. The 2018 WHYW planning is well underway to deliver the varied programme of events with Colin Crawford and Anna Daley joining the Joint Regatta committee following the retirement of Alison McNab and Eric Chapman who have made a great contribution over many years. The JRC organisation are looking for volunteer help and support from OSC and the wider sailing community to continue to support this event for future years. The club facilities are being reviewed. A Projects Subgroup has been set up to reassess the slipway project to resolve leasing and funding constraints. The clubhouse is in need of upgrading, which gives an opportunity to look at either refurbishment/redesign of the internal layout or explore options for a new build replacement. These are big tasks which will require funding along with patience and considerable volunteer input to take this forward. Another Subgroup is being set up to cover safety boat equipment and ensure we have safe and high standard of equipment and procedures. An Open Day is planned for 19 May 2018 linking the RYA “Push the Boat Out” initiative providing a focal point to engage with local youth and adult groups to introduce them to dinghies, keelboats and powerboats by providing a range of opportunities to get out and have fun on the water. Enjoy your sailing in 2018. Iain 5 Sailing Programme 2018 Sailing Programme 2018 For full course details please see specific keelboat and dinghy programmes.

    Historical Portsmouth Number List

    Historical Portsmouth Number List The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the average performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. The numbers in the PN list may not reflect the peak performance of each boat. Historical numbers are listed below and have been collated from the RYA's archive of PN lists. It should be remembered that the Portsmouth Yardstick number list has been through a number of changes and the numbers listed below have had conversion factors applied where needed. It should also be remembered that whilst all efforts are taken for PN's not to drift, relative performance of older boats may be quite different to modern classes. The numbers are given as a starting point to help clubs arrive at a fair number and if these numbers are used then they should be reviewed regularly. Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only.

  • Cadet Dinghy

    Cadet Dinghy

    Cadet Dinghy “Viking” Appendix 2 THE CADET SQUADRON In the early 1930's, Cadet Members of the R.G.Y.C. competed in a conglomeration of small craft. Ern Armstrong recalls that when he joined the club in 1933, the cadet section was comprised of the 12 foot cadets, "Firey Cross", owned and sailed by John Boocock, on which Ern sailed for the last three races of the season and "Viking", owned by Tal and Jim Searle, "Tasma", a flat-bottomed ,low wooded hull approximately 14feet long, owned by the Club, "Teddy bear", a half-decked rather heavy boat owned by Geoff Wood, and "Westra", a semi-decked 12 foot cadet, owned by the McAllisters. At that time the boat storage shed was approximately 40 feet by 30 feet fronting the roadway outside the club opposite Transvaal Square, about in line with the eastern end of the present Junior Squadron clubhouse. In about 1935, two 14 foot boats were added to the fleet. These were "Mulluka", owned by Chick Fleet Snr., and sailed by Jim Ritchie and "NV", a 14footer with narrow beam and a high aspect mainsail built and skippered by Norm Wray. And two more 12 foot cadet dinghies were also added to the fleet, "Caress", built and skippered by Bob Curnow and "Dolphin ", owned and skippered by Wally Wiggs. About this time the Cadet section acquired half of the Sea Scout's shed owned by Mr. Ev Hurst, now the tender dinghy storage shed. This move avoided the long lift from the original shed on the roadway.
