The YOBs are our Youth On Board... so watch out!

Friday the 28th May, Richard and Mary Reddyhoff joined the YOBs (Youths on Boats) to name the new safety boat. Dean and Reddyhoff Marinas donated the money to the YOBs so they could buy the boat and trailer. They can now get more youngsters on the water with this extra safety cover.
Mary named the boat "Michelle" because she was impressed with the amount of time Michelle Samways puts in to helping with the YOBs. Michelle runs the safety cover for the YOBs and also looks after the RIB at Dean and Reddyhoff's Portland Marina amongst other duties.
Mary told the youngsters she hoped they appreciated the time that the YOB helpers give up to make sure they get to go sailing.

 Mark Bugler had his first official duty as Club Commodore on Friday the 8th January giving out the trophies at the 3rd YOBs prize giving party.
There was a good turn out of youngsters and their owners, which was surprising considering the freezing conditions .
The evening started with the Prize presentation with 14 cups and trophies to be presented, including new awards many of which have been through the skilled hands of Peter Jacobs, who mounted and varnished the bases of our new trophies.
Tom Rees and Merrick Rayner managed three cups each with Tom pointing out after, that it was his crewing skills that helped Merrick win one of them. Yes - our Yobs are growing up competitive, just like the rest of us, next I'm sure they will be discussing handicaps!.

 Saturday 12th September saw the official naming of "Chicane" the YOBs Wayfarer. Jean Connor doused the boat with the traditional bubbly before the YOBs had their last sailing get together of the season.

The YOBs wayfarer “Chicane” was purchased with funds donated by Clive Connors family and aptly named after Clive’s first boat. Unfortunately Clive died in October 2004 aged 52 of renal cancer therefore not many of the younger sailors will know who he was, so courtesy of his family here is a short history of his time in the Club.

Dean and Reddyhoff donation to YOBs |
 Dean and Reddyhoff Marinas have nominated the YOBs to be the recipients of the funds raised from their annual Berth Holders Party to help us buy the extra safety boat needed to get more youngsters on the water. We hope to purchase a similar boat to the 'Jaffas' the Laser School currently use. They have confirmed the amount raised was £1,690 which will go a long way to getting the new boat. Many thanks to them and the staff for their support.
The cheque was presented to Daphne at the Southampton Boat Show on Saturday 19th September by John Heppell, the Assistant Manager at Portland Marina

 On Tuesday 1st September, nine members of the YOBs were lucky enough to experience personal coaching from Niall Myant, the RYA National Feva Class Coach. This came about because I was involved in Race Management of the European Feva Championships in Ireland and the Feva Nationals at WPNSA, where I met Niall, who was coaching the British team. It was a sunny day but the wind was gusting over 20 kts. Niall checked with the youngsters that they were “up for it” and Richard Groves our safety officer agreed that we could take out three boats, staying close to WSC start line.
