COMING SOON! Watch out for the revamped Trimpley Sailing Club Newsletter
GP racing on Saturday continues to hold up well with four qualifiers for the Saturday Series. This time Ray Drury and Chris Rees lost out with Jeff Halford and new boy Ben Cookson as Crew putting in some excellent late results enabling them to discard some of the poorer earlier results and win both main and handicap series. Creeping up not far behind Ray and Chis on the results table was Peter John crewed by Lynne Rees. Peter and Lynne managed to push them into...read more
Don’t forget the first race on Sunday October 30th starts at 11.30
The Laser Team of the two Andy’s Evans and Allan sailed the GP team off the pond scoring six points between them.
The GP team consisting of Max Bradbury-Knight wit Michelle Tromans and Ralph Webb with Harry Bradbury-Knight just could not find the wind to maintain a consistent progress around the course. The GP team scored twelve.
Well done to Andy who we know is a very good sailor and also to Andy who is improving every week.

Calling sailors from all fleets! Don’t forget to enter the annual Cock O’ the Wyre event on 16th Oct. 1st race starts at noon, 3 races with 2 to count
The PY handicap system applies and we’d also love to see some of our juniors enter a Bug or Topper team. And any other boats would be welcome on the water too.
Mik and Kim Neville sneak the Saturday Summer series from Ray Drury. And it was not by their own hand. Whilst they were sunning themselves in Kenya, it was Pat and Mike Stout who in the last races of the series sailed really well and pipped Ray into second place thus depriving Ray of his normal top finishing place. I think some apologies and thanks in various quarters are required.
The Sunday GP 14 results were disappointing and there were no qualifiers this season. Laser Series...read more
With the Laser Open next weekend, it was clear the Laser fleet were determined to hone their racing skills with 8 boats on the water for the Late Summer Pursuit. Even though the sailing on the water was adjusted with the helms with a higher handicap being given a good start on the water, with light fickle winds, it was likely that the more experienced helms would be able to take advantage and so the results proved that was the case. Andy was closely beaten into 2nd place by his son James...read more
Well it all started when I decided to get a new mainsheet for the GP. It had been so windy this season and because it was a bit short, I lost the end of the old main sheet several times, when sitting at the back, hiking out.
The new main sheet was slightly thicker where the two thin lines are joined to the 9mm mainsheet rope. It was a bit stiff running through the block at the end of the boom. I shaped the joining bit with some pliers and rubbed some candle wax on it. Although still a...read more
