Icebreaker and Easter Series 2027

The Notice of Race for Icebreaker and Easter Series 2027, are on the club website and races are on the CSC calendar and duty roster. Due to the early Easter weekend in 2027 the cruisers will be remaining on the hard and therefore the dinghy Easter Series will fall into the winter programme. [PDF] Icebreaker and Easter Series 2027 Notice of Race.pdf

Unfortunately, due to a combination of tide times and the clocks changing, it is only possible to schedule racing on 2 days of the Easter Bank holiday weekend. If there are sailors who do not have winter storage wishing to take part in the Easter Series please contact the office and we will do all we can to accommodate some temporary storage, however this will be on a first come, first served basis and cannot be guaranteed.

Simon Percival had mixed results including a very creditable 4th in race 4, 11th in race 2 and 17th in Race 5 to finish 35th overall - 4th GBR.

Russell finished the week with a brilliant 29th bringing him up to 79th overall - 10th GBR.

Richard’s 66th in race 4 put him in the running to be 3rd Legend. However he was unable to produce a similar result in the remaining races finishing 99th overall - 15th GBR.

Peter Blick had a difficult week with best results of 75th in race 4 and 69th in race 5 putting him 105th overall - 16th GBR.

Richard Crane put in a creditable performance in his first international championship in a Finn finishing 108th overall.

During the event there was great camaraderie amongst the sailors catching up with old friends and swapping stories.

The lady supporters made the most of the weather, local sightseeing attractions and the excellent cafes and restaurants.

Andy’s boat was the only GBR boat to win a prize having chartered it to the Ladies Champion (USA)!

Are there any CSC lady helms willing to take part in the Finn World Masters at Ischia, Italy 4-11 June 2027?

The Y&Y report is at https://www.yachtsandyachting.... including links to more photos and the results.

The Finn YouTube Channel includes short videos of the highlights of each days racing.
