After a Safeguarding and Induction session on 9 April, Tuesday Youth sessions began on 16th. Gusty off-shore winds meant only the New Helpers were taken out on the water in Picos and a Fusion by Elliot and Ed with Tim, while Jim worked on shore with the New experienced YMs and Joshua, Freddie, Frankie and Noah took rigging and knots with the New inexperienced and Returners groups. They used Bahias and Picos. Katie helped run Safeguarding for those who had been on holiday last week and will be holding a Swop Shop for sailing kit. Please bring anything you’ve outgrown or would like to sell at a ..read more

All 6 club candidates on the RYA course at the weekend were successful! Experienced club and international dinghy racers still found it a steep learning curve on the first day, while benefitting from the expertise and enthusiasm of coach Becky Ellis. All took sessions with briefings and exercises at sea and were given individual briefings and action plans. Andy presented Becky with an engraved LRSC glass. Becky enjoyed the group and left us for her work with the Ellen McArthurTrust. Sally facilitated the course through Duncan West, RYA development manager for our region, with the support of th ..read more

> Banbury Chaser and Dorset Triangle sailed at Sutton Bingham. > > A strong turnout of 10 dinghies travelled from Lyme to the reservoir to race at the weekend and received a warm welcome at Sutton Bingham SC. > The very light, variable winds were a new experience for some of Lyme’s youth sailors more familiar with the open sea. All entrants’ results contribute to final club scores. > Consistent performances from Sam Knight ( Super Nova 1,5,2) , Jerry Rook and Simon Law ((Albacore, 2,6,4), did well for LRSC, but some missed the gate in one race. > Andrew Frost, SBSC, (Aero, 1 ..read more

Original Medina kite in a fetching light blue and white.  Sound but definitely a bit baggy. It works well downwind on Rumcase, but not great for reaching. Ideal sail to experiment with spinnaker handling.  You won’t be breaking the bank should you snag it, run over it, wrap it around an angry foredeck crew etc.  Reason for sale – just not our colour. Sail is currently stored in Rumcase. Rob Wiscombe The post Medina Spinnaker £30. Wot a bargain! first appeared on LRSC ..read more

‘Ideal conditions’ was Jerry’s comment on the first Race Group training session of 2024. 7 keen ILCAs and one OK turned out for their coaching session with Graham and Jerry, highlighting strategies for rounding the leeward mark. A clear group working together with their coaches was easily visible from shore in the flat sea, Jo keeping watch as Beach. Some of our youth sailors are travelling to Starcross for the Starcross Steamer tomorrow, briefed by Graham and Dave about conditions, courses, tides and the importance of being prepared with a course diagram from the NoR – it is a pursuit race so ..read more
