Dinghy Show 7-8 March 2009 |
|
 Members of the WSC Squib fleet manned the Squib stand at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show on Alexandra Palace on Sat 7 and Sun 8 March 2009.
Peter Jackson made up a display stand to promote Weymouth Sailing Club and the 2009 National Squib Championships taking place from 27 June - 3 July 2009. Nine other members of the local Squib fleet helped out during the two busy days. Displayed on the stand is Squib 11, the first boat to be produced by Oliver Lee from the original mould. She had been completed refurbished and refitted by Tony Saltonstall, Squib Technical Adviser during the winter.
The helpers were wearing a 'uniform' of polo shirts with the Squibs09 logo. Championship clothing with the same logo will be shown at the Squib Class dinner on 14 March and will be available for purchase before the Championship. Details of the Championship can be found on www.Squibs09.org.uk

Our cadets have started to find out how to maintain a dinghy with the hands on approach. Over the next few weekends they will be rubbing down, cleaning, painting and maintaining our dinghy fleet. The group are being lead by Nathan Moss our cadet captain, who's doing a great job of rounding up the team. Well, done everyone who have already taken part.

I'm sure you're all very impressed with the fantastic progress made in transforming 'Viking II' into the new WSC committee boat. Don Cutler has been working tirelessly from dawn 'til dusk tackling the myriad of tasks. I wouldn't be surprised to find a bed in the cabin with the amount of time he spends on the boat ! 
Fortunately the weather has been kind to the team which has allowed some important milestones to be completed - particularly fitting of the windlass and completion of the hull paintwork and finally she is ready for launch.
Viking II will be launched down the slipway on Monday 6 April followed by Don at the helm for an important sea trial. A naming ceremony and thank-you to the helpers will be held in the Club yard on Sunday 5 April at 15.00 hours.

On Saturday 31 January, 12 members of our club took part in an RYA First Aid Course. The course was run by Tony Wood our local Onboard man who also happens to be a paramedic.
Tony managed to cover all areas needed to pass this course using his professional knowledge & past experiences, even though he had a crowd that could have passed for one of his Onboard training days.
We would like to thank Steve Dadd for his input & maybe he could run over some of the jokes I didn't understand another time.

Did you ever wonder where the Club's ground chains come from?
Well it's the used chain from the Studland ferry - yes, it's that stuff that you see lying by the side of the road by Studland Beach.
Messrs Brookman and Pitman negotiated with the ferry company and purchased the chain at a fraction of the cost of new. Problem? Delivery not included.
