A massive congratulations to all those Y&J's who took part in the Topper London and South East Zone championships at Datchet SC last weekend. The results were very impressive and you guys represented the club brilliantly. Considering that we all sail in a fairly shallow small lake each of you made the transition to a large deeper expanse of water brilliantly. The event drew some of the best sailors from all over the Southern and Eastern counties, a huge catchment. To have 3 boats in the top 10 is a brilliant result, no other club had 3 boats in the top 10 and really puts the achievements into perspective. 
 
Topper Main Fleet - 36 entries
2nd Leo Wilkinson
6th Ben Osborne
10th  Tom Knight
27th Georgia McAdam
32nd Joseph Tubb
 
Topper Regatta Fleet - 15 entries (both 5.3 and 4.2 sails combined)

Hello everyone,

Well, summer has come and gone, but just because it's autumn, it doesn't mean sailing is over for the year. Highlights for this month have to be Rockley for our Youth & Juniors, and the infamous Night Sail.

Here are the activities for September:

2:   Saturday social sailing
3:   Sunday racing (3 x Handicap) N.B. The Maidenhead half marathon is on, so you need to get      down early to the club - before 9am for those coming in the A4 end, and 9:30am for members coming from north of Maidenhead.
5:   GPC meeting
7:   Thursday evening sailing (last for the year)
       Bar open
9:   Saturday social sailing
10:  Sunday racing (Pursuit + Class)
12:  SC meeting
16:  Y&J ROCKLEY
        Saturday social sailing
17:  Y&J ROCKLEY
        Sunday racing (Pursuit + Class)
21:  Night sail
        Bar open
23:  Saturday social sailing
24:  Sunday racing (Pursuit + Class)
30:  Y&J High Performance sailing - Datchet
        Saturday social sailing

It's been good to see some of our newest members out on the water during summer - some of them have even been racing!

If you haven't managed a sail this summer, the Night Sail is a good one to finish on, so come down and join in the fun. Or just come down to watch. It's a relaxing way to spend an evening.

Happy sailing,

Jenni Heward-Craig
