A few pictures on here of the Inlands. Nice concrete wall ! , perhaps that's why some the HISC Merlins stayed put and did the Glynn Charles Pursuit instead!?!? They love aesthetics and pretty views, colours

Good win for Jon Gorringe and Toby Lewis - 3 x 1st on Sat, and a broken mast Sun am after which racing was canned due to the conditions. Taxi & Tom Pygall second and Willy Warren 3rd.
More to follow I am sure..
GGGGG

Tom Stewart broke his mast in the first race (note to helm remember the puller): shame really as he was OCS anyway!
Matt's delaminated rudder on Sunday was quite impressive!

Just for the record and no offence to Bartley sailing club who are doing a grand job of growing their fleet could I point out that 3496 Smokin is a fully paid up member of Blithfield sailing club and not Bartley as the results show!

I'll try and change it before the report goes out Martin.

The Notes column in the results makes interesting reading. Does the class allow non members to compete in class events and series?
Posted: 25/05/2011 13:49:19 By: fribbs |
Notes column isn't accurate not sure where it came from but for sure John and Andy are members

The 'members' is a club thing-I know not what-and is unrelated to the MROA.
Posted: 26/05/2011 08:19:42 By: Ben 3634 |
Could be for the midland circuit points?

The intention is to get the class back in the habit of bringing measurement certificates with up-to-date class membership stickers to events. For Salcombe Week and the Champs we will be checking these at registration.

I always have mine but nobody ever asks for it!

Alex,
That makes total sense. Will there be a nominated MROA official at the Salcombe registrarion checking memberships and prising open the wallets of the non-members? I only ask 'cause last time it was done we had to fumigate the building to get rid of the moths!!!!!

Surely with a full entry list and the names already known it would not be hard to check them off and discretely contact those yet to pay, although a good public shaming is always good for a laugh!

Hi all
Please note the time of this post and the fact that this is Brightlingsea's evening series night! - Apologies over and done with.
I think that people who race in our open series should pay the toll of membership -they do benefit from a strong class with (nearly) clear rules and lots of organisation.
A long time ago I suffered the vagaries of the strict enforcement of the Enterprise class rules. What this meant was that it was a continuous issue - had your remembered to bring the certificate, was it appropriately endorsed, had I infringed some minor rule? On one occasion I had my new boat measured correctly, but the hierarchy thought not, must I go home at an Inland Championships? This was a pain.
When I start dinghy sailing again in an RS400 there were no such problems - IT was an RS400, no one asked - even about class association membership!
Please let us not go back to those days of panicking because the certificate is not in the car (we are on a register) or worrying about administration. Of course a boat (and crew) must be legal but rejecting people on the basis of failure to remember to produce paperwork is counter-productive for the sport and class!
I want to sail, participate, have fun - not worry
Regards
David Charlton Merlin 3717
