UKLA Chair Blog # 77
ILCA Masters World Championships
Whilst Mark is enjoying his time in Australia, I hijacked his blog this week.
Mark, along with several of our masters ventured out to Adelaide to compete at the ILCA Masters Worlds. It was a tough event with big swells and strong winds, however our masters did quite well - let me mention a few of them:
In ILCA 6 Jon Emmett came 3rd in the Master category whilst Terry Scutcher was 2nd in Great Grand Master fleet with Jeff Loosemore in 4th. Jeff is a regular visitor to the UK and competes in the UK and European circuit.
In ILCA 7 Tim Law was 2nd in Great Grand Master category and Mark Lyttle bagged 3rd in Grand Masters category.
19 amazing legends (age 75+) entered the event! WOW!

RYA Dinghy Show 2024 (24-25th February)
Dinghy Show is coming up at the end of this month. As every year, there are some great talks and events lined up for the the weekend.
Need some downwind speed tips? You can find British Sailing Team Sam Whaley in the knowledge zone talking about this very subject on both days (15:30).
Stick Daring will be talking about his round Britain adventure in a £50 laser at a main stage (14:15) followed by book signing at our stand afterwards. You will have an opportunity to buy his book at a show or you can get it ahead of the show here.
Our stand will be located near “the clubhouse” and immediately next to Sailingfast. Pop in to see us! Come to find out more about our world class racing and training events, Grand Prix circuit & club training, get tips on what to look for when buying a new or second-hand boat and how to rig it for speed and performance.
Several of our sponsors will also be at the show - be sure to visit them and grab a bargain or two. Visit Sailingfast, Ovington, Rooster & Fernhurst Books stands and see us to see Southeast Sailboats rigging up close and find out more about Wildwind Holidays.
