Bass Week Preparations Nearing Completion
Update form Vice Commodore:
I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who was able to come down and help at the Bass Week working party. Your efforts were greatly appreciated and has helped us to get the site ready for this year’s regatta.
There has obviously been a massive amount of work throughout the year building up to this point (especially including the work of the grounds team) and it was brilliant to see efforts culminating with so many getting involved in the working party.
Here’s to a great Bass Week!
Thanks again and best wishes,
Stephen
As the grounds are looking so good, it's a shame to let anyone on site to disturb it all.......

Toby Gatty
Many older members will remember Toby Gatty who used to work on rescue. Sadly Toby passed away last Friday. His funeral will be held in St John's Church, Bassenthwaite at 11am on Wednesday 28 July.
Our thoughts are with his wife Jean who worked behind the bar for many years.
Club ties are considered most appropriate for those attending the funeral.
Raising the flagstaff
After Winter maintenance identified some major defects in the top part of the flagstaff. The substantial repairs have been completed and the pole re-erected in time for Bass Week much to the relief of our vice commodore, and he expresses his personal thanks to Scumper and Alan Smith for all their efforts in organising its repair and reinstatement.
NSSA
Sam Hall sailed the 2010 NSSA regatta at Datchet Water near Windsor last week. He secured five firsts and a second, discarding a black flag, to win the laser standard fleet (previous winners of the trophy include Paul Goodison!)
It was a well organised week with mostly excellent weather however light, flukey winds on Thursday and Friday made racing a challenge for both race committee and sailors.
Youth Squad
The Youth Squad have again had some dedicated races, but could be better attended.
Although Ethan mastered the conditions on Saturday, he found his match against Robin Crawley in Sunday's racing. Despite this, Ethan leads the Sunday series, while Luke Howarth is leading the Saturday series

All on the last race
A gentle breeze with various gusts at times led to a pleasant morning's racing. The wind in the afternoon eased as the race went on, but it was still reasonable racing conditions. The close racing at the front of each fleet led to the series results being dependent on the last race, so they had everything to sail for.
Mike and Eric secured two more wins to take the series from Paul Bowmer.
Robbie D and Scumper again shared wins in the handicap fleet, but Robbie's win in the afternoon won him the series.
Similarly, Telf and Andy had some close racing but, Andy's afternoon win gave him the series.

Did she jump or was she pushed?!
The morning gusts had eased by the time racing started but there was still a good sailing breeze to keep the sailors happy. A shift in the wind took resulted in a somewhat biased beat for a while, but such is Bass!
Neil and Judith Currie were tempted back on to the water by the lighter airs, but at one stage Judith missed her toestraps and was dragged along with the boat as she clung on to her jib sheet. Neil soon had her back in the boat and they continued with the race. Scumper and Robbie D with Big E each had a win on handicap. Jim Christie lost his rig when a U bolt gave way, but no real damage done.
Gary Mansell fought his fears and went out for a brief sail with William in the RS400. One beat was enough as a taster but he will be back for more....
While Andy Smith waits for his new GP, he took to the water to give Telf, Mik and Alan a run for their money in the Mirror fleet. Telf and Andy each had a win a piece
Kayla went out in Mike F15 with Tom - each thought the other was helming! Anyway, they had a pleasant sail and no incidents.
In the GPs Mike and Eric shared the honours with Paul Bowmer and his wife, with Paul taking overnight lead.
Overall some close racing across all of the fleets. The series concludes tomorrow.

Daws on course, of course!
Well done to Ethan Dawson who competed in the Topper 4.2 Nationals last weekend at Leigh and Lowton. There were 45 entries and Ethan finished 39th.
He won a prize for completing all nine races, especially impressive as Saturday's wind hit 28 knots!
Any guesses who dreamt up the heading?

Social update
Zumba is taking the world by storm, apparently, so we have organised for an official Zumba instructor to come to the club to hold two separate 1 hour workshops!! To cover the costs, we will charge £5 per person, however if there is an excess pot of money after the 2 sessions, we will organise some wine or cocktails after the second event!! The Zumba sessions will be inside the bar room or outside if the weather permits!! The more the merrier!! Bring exercise gear if you are interested in participating.
Afternoon Tea - We would like to invite all visiting and Bass ladies to a “posh bring and eat afternoon tea” (without the tea!) with Pimms cocktails instead! Please could we ask you to could bring something either savoury or sweet for the buffet table. We will be making a nominal charge of £3 to cover the cocktail costs and would ask you therefore to add your name to a list on the club notice board if interested! A prize will be awarded to the most original home-made corsage!! The children could eat our leftovers, if there are any!!
Sam's Success
Sam Hall was sailing at Coniston on Saturday where he secured a hat trick of wins and received a £15 prize.
Sunday Soaking
The wind seemed unexpectedly light when sailors turned up, but as the start time arrived, the wind picked up and the rain moved in - it was relentless until lunchtime. There were light patches, and William with Jo Watkins managed to find them on the single spinnaker reach of the course, but there were strong gusts from time to time too.
Although Neil Garrison in his Dart finished first on the water, it was Scumper in his Vareo that won on handicap from Jim Christie.
During lunch the wind freshened, and led to some more exciting reaches at times, but the shadow of Sale Fell still had its effect on racing and progress. William and Jo led the handicap, but they were beaten by Jim Christie in his Supernova on handicap. Scumper despite a couple of capsizes, held on to his position but was going to retire due to damage to his spinnaker pole, however he opted to wait for the shorten course signal. Little did he realise he would have to wait until the lead boat completed their lap some 10 mins later before the signal was sounded!
Although Mike beat Tim in the F15 fleet in both races, he did have to sneak past Tim in a lull going to mark 5 as Tim had mastered the first beat and gained a solid lead much to Mike's dismay (or was it surprise?)

Soggy Saturday
As the hosepipe ban continues, the lake is filling up - not because water is being saved but due to the amount of rain!!
The day started windy with intermittent showers, but the wind eased during the prolonged start sequence for the pursuit race! The lack of Mirrors meant the other fleets had an undue wait. Even with the long wait, Scumper managed to be several minutes late in his Vareo. Mike and Kayla quickly broke away and won the race with Tim and Ian 2nd.
The 2nd race was fleet racing - no-one in either fleet was particularly pushing hard for the start line! Scumper had a clear win from Jim Christie in the handicap fleet, while Mike beat Tim in the F15s.

RYA Training Day
 Des Wright,
Ken West, Emma Smith, Ellen and Jamie Kerr, Jordan and Arnie Helling enjoyed
a race training day with Pete Robinson from the RYA. The wind was gusty and
many enjoyed the warm water of the lake, but everyone agreed they had
learned many simple techniques and learned more about the rules to help them
gain confidence to start racing. Pete coached them on the water and
finished the day with some short racesNext RYA Training Day is in September. Keep a look out for the date |
Congratulations!
 Many congratulations to vice commodore Stephen Kirkpatrick and his wife Claire following the birth of their daughter Georgina Elizabeth, a sister for Henry and Thomas, who weighed in at 7lb11oz on Tuesday evening. Mother and baby doing well. Well done to Emily for guessing it would be a girl called Elizabeth! |
Sultry Sunday - Not!
Despite there being strong winds all around, the conditions were unexpectedly sailable. However, there were not many takers, presumably because of the poor forecast.
Mike and Kayla led the fleet, followed by Toggle in his Vareo, but Mike and Eric kept on the pace and were never far behind. On handicap Mike's F15 beat the Mike's GP.
In the afternoon race, the course had a couple of reaches that proved exhilarating when the gusts came through. Joe Watkins, thinking the wind had eased over lunch, opted to take out the Laser with a full rig, which proved a little too much on occasions as he had several capsizes, but carried on to the finish.
This time it was Mike Cowan that was in close contention with Mike Moore. Mike Moore held his position on handicap and leads the series overall.

Soggy Saturday
As the hosepipe ban kicks in in some parts of the county, the rain came down. However, for a change, at least it was warm rain!
The winds were blustery all afternoon, but the straightforward triangular course led to some exciting sailing, some very hairy gybes, and several capsizes.
In the handicap fleet, Steve and Ruth in the Merlin finished 1st on the water and on handicap from Scumper in his Vareo. In the second race, Steve got off to a good start, but a wineglass spinnaker led to a capsize and his demise. William and Elaine in an RS400 finished 1st on the water but were beaten on handicap by Scumper.
In the F15s, Mike and Kayla won the 1st race from Tim and Ian. Ian had a better start in the 2nd race, and was leading when Mike retired when a fairlead pulled out.
Mike and Eric led the GPs, but a nosedive capsize led to their demise and Tim and Martin winning the race.
John Telford beat Mik Chappell in both of the Mirror races.
Scumper topped the chart in the capsize stakes with four capsizes, all well recovered from. Mike Fairlamb was sort of next having struggled to right his boat after capsizing taking down the spinnaker, he capsized another couple of times before limping home to shore. Then Steve was next with a couple of capsizes - both deliberate he claimed!!
Although it should be sunny tomorrow, higher winds are forecast again, so will we get any races in?

Can you help?
Lesley Anderson (as we know her) daughter of founder member, and former trustee, the late Bill Anderson recently called in at the club to catch up with old(?!) friends. We have received the following email which is self explanatory
I have started dinghy sailing again in Cyprus and and having more fun sailing here than I have for years on bigger boats. It is great being back close to the water, and it is warm here!
The club is called PISC (Pahpos International Sailing Club)
The club started dinghy sailing last year and now has an assorted fleet of seven!
I seem to remember that my father was the seventh boat to join at Bass so it takes me back a bit
I wish to help all I can to build the up the sailing at PISC and they are having a problem finding a replacement for a GP14 main sail.
I was wondering if you could source a really cheap old main sail for us and send it to Rod the commodore.
I will fund the cost of the sail and postage if you can help.
Best Wishes Lesley
If you can help please email us and we will pass on the information
