UKLA Chair blog #6
Just quick post this week as I have been at a funeral on Monday. Luckily, I managed one race on Sunday at QM in light and shifty conditions and it was nice to be back on water with fellow QM sailors as well as racing against my two older boys in ILCA7s. Also great to see Tony Woods back out racing.
I was drawn to a Yachts and Yachting headline on twitter “Big Laser (ILCA) Wednesday at Tynemouth Sailing Club” which went on to say, “Well we unashamedly replicated the format from Parkstone Yacht Club in rounding up and cajoling as many Laser/ILCA sailors as possible to sail one evening”. That was back in 2021 when they had 62 ILCAs. Tynemouth didn’t quite match that, but they did have 26 on the water – well done to them. I seem to recall there were 40 ILCAs for a club race at Queen Mary earlier in the summer – I have a sense of a “roll of honour” developing – why not email me your biggest ILCA club race this year and let’s get the ball rolling ?
All the best
Mark
