Race reports 29/3! Posted by W

Another
good turnout of 12 boats for the second winter series,
unfortunately the breeze didn't really turn up so it was
pretty slow going out there most of the time!!
Dave Harley broke the start and lost some time restarting -
correctly this time after last weeks indiscretions by some
other sailors! From there it was a bit of a lottery as the
breeze was quite variable, there wasn't much between the
first 6 boats at the first mark and it wasn't just NS14s up
front, Jim Ley had his Finn running well and the other open
boats were nearby - even Brett Jones and Cassie in a Pacer
were up trading spots with most of us.
Jim, David Cox and Justin Wright were fighting out the lead
with each taking the lead at various points. Annette had the
club Laser out and was doing real well against the rest of
us, we would all bunch up and then she seemed to catch just
a little more breeze and pull away again. Half way through
the second lap she turned the mark with Brett just behind, I
was a little behind with Dave Harley and Dave Humble - well
the breeze deserted us and Dave Harley was stranded there
for a few minutes and was never able to recover.
The straggling pacers run by Peter Gardiner and Ian Marks
were finished at the end of 2 laps along with Paula and Phil
in Nicorette, the rest of the field continued on to complete
3 or 4 laps depending on category. Jim and Annette elected
to carry on and complete the 4 laps, so we had some close
finishes with me finishing next in Jolly Roger only 25
seconds ahead of Brett and Cassie, with Dave Humble only 30
seconds further back. Dave Harley brought Stealth in 2
minutes later and Max Hubbard in I'll Be Blowed a further
minute back.
It was then the faster boats finishing 4 laps to come home
and Jim in Buckets prevailed to hold off David Cox in
Rhapsody by a minute, Justin had Casper leading at the
end of the third lap but then faded badly in the last lap to
be almost 5 minutes behind David and then Annette in Clubba
finished 2 minutes further back.
So it was pretty frustrating at times and a good test of
skill and luck. Brett and Cassie showed everyone up to take
out both handicap and yardstick - been some time since
anything other then a NS14 has won yardstick - and I can't
remember a Pacer ever managing to do it! I'm betting Cassie
puts it down to the sparkle sunscreen for the good result!!
Next week is the third race of winter series with Russell
and Glen Bonfield down as start crew.

Race reports 21/3! Posted by W

It was the first race of the winter series on
Saturday and we had good weather, light winds (but a lot
more then the wee before!!) and a fleet of 15 boats, a
great turnout! Annette came along and nicked the club
laser before me so I was relegated to a Pacer, battling it
out with Jarod with Ian as crew, Bruce Miller and Brett
Jones with Cassy as crew. I got the go fast tip from
Cassy - sparkle sunscreen - so I put it to the test!
The race was started with a real bunched group due to the
light winds, and we had the signal that someone broke the
start, and Rod in Jolly Roger played it safe returning to
the start line. It was very close to the first mark but
there were a few standouts with Peter Gardiner and Annette
mixing it up with the lead NS14s. Peter Spicer in No Mad
was clear out front with Russell not too far behind and
they remained there the whole race. Back behind them was
where the action really was, Justin and Adam were having a
see-saw battle and just behind them Annette, Peter Dave
Harley, Max Clinch and Rod were really close with never
more then 4 minutes between them. Max Hubbard was a little
slower but certainly showing good speed compared to the
Pacers. Paula and Phil were out again after their good
effort in the drifter the previous week, however Paula
strained a muscle again in the first lap and they retired
at that point.
Cassys' speed hint was working well, Brett and Cassy
showed the rest of us how to do it beating us home by
nearly 10 minutes. Bruce and I in single handed Pacers
were having a great battle changing postion several times
till the last lap when I made a bit of a break and able to
maintain it to the end with Jarod and Ian coming in last.
So we had a number of open boats kick on and complete the
full 4 laps that the NS14s were doing and so Peter
Gardiner was the first boat home followed by Peter Spicer,
Brett Jones, Russell then Max Hubbard. Next home was me
with Adam just pipping Bruce on the last leg, then Justin
and Max Clinch just behind him with Annette, Dave Harley
and Jarod coming home real close. Rod was the last boat
back a couple of minutes later.
After the race there was a final twist, Rod and Annette
were both disqualified as they had both broken the start -
Rod had returned to the line but not rounded the limit
mark so not actually correctly restarted and Annette had
risked it was only Rod who had broken. This was pretty
disappointing as they had both sailed really well, however
rules are rules and I'm sure they'll be more cautious in
future starts!
Next week is the second winter series race and start crew
is Rod & Adam. Hopefully the winds are a little kinder
and we have a good turnout again.

Over
the Easter Weekend the NS14 State Championships were
held in Sydney with a number of the club NS14s making
the short trek to the other end of the Georges River
for the Regatta. A Writeup
of the event by SailWorld gives a flavour of the
close racing over the weekend. CNLSC regulars
Adam Trickey and Phillip Williams won the Handicap
Series - Well done to both of them

Race report 11/3!
Posted by W Loder at: 20.00 on Mar 15th 2012

No
report last week as I was hard at it laying tiles - but
that looked better then heading to the lake with all the
wet weather and light breeze!!
However there were apparently 5 brave (read mad!)
sailors who contested the 5th leg of Single Hander &
Laser championship.
This week the weather was somewhat better - I scored
duty so wasn't out on the water, however we had a
healthy fleet of 14 including 6 NS14s for 5th leg of
their championship.
There was a good south to south-easterly blowing with
some real challenging wind shifts apparent near the
island. After the start the familiar spread of the fleet
begain - however Dave Harley in Stealth seemed to get
the best of it holding off Peter Spicer in No Mad for
half a lap. Dave was looking to have a great race but
did get caught by a few of the other NS14s by the
finish. Jim Ley in his Finn kept up throughout finishing
in a very creditable 4th spot. A bit of an upset was
David Cox after having a fairly poor start getting in
front of Russell.
However it was back in the field where most of the
action was happening - It seemed everyone wanted to keep
Ian in the Pacer company at the back of the field! Dave
Humble came back to shore midway through the first lap
having forgotten his lifejacket. Next lap he was in the
drink so it was a good choice!! Rod got caught up on the
bottom mark and then went in the drink with Dave.
Graiden also had boat problems with his halyard coming
loose and he returned to shore for some quick repairs
before setting off after Ian again.
So in the end Cookie was first home at the end of his 4
laps, then Peter Spicer completing 5, then Max Hubbard,
next was a flurry of finishers, David Cox, Russell
Moore, Jim Ley, Justin & Annette, Dave Harley,
Graiden, Dave Humble, Rod Boon, & Glen (only 5 &
half minutes between them all). Ian was left to trail
the field but ended first on handicap, so pretty good
day out.
This Saturday is race 6 of the NS14 championship, Glen
and Graiden are down for duty crew.

Race report 25/2!
Posted by W Loder at: 20.00 on Feb 19th 2012
|
A small field 8 in attendance for the 5th Open/Pacer
race with a lone Pacer taken out by Ian Marks - which
makes it pretty quiet for him at the back of the field.
The
wind was pretty good but had some gusts to catch the
unwary - like myself - capsizing both before the race
start and once during the race (luckily no-one was able
to take advantage and get past me!).
Russell and Dave Harley in the NS14s took off from the
rest of us with Jim Ley in his Finn not far behind them,
and that's how the top 3 stayed throughout! Cookie and I
in Lasers, Rod and Glen in the Banshees and Peter
Gardiner in his Leader were all battling it out for the
other positions. Cookie had the lead for the first lap
and a half and I surprised myself catching him just
before he pulled out. After Cookie pulled out I managed
another uneventful lap before I got all out of shape
approaching the mark when hit by some gusts and over I
went, Rod was close by and very quick to suggest I had
hit the mark!! Into the last leg home Peter was looking
like he may close the gap but in the end I had enough
lead and came through first home, however I saw Ian was
up near the top mark and set off to see if I could catch
him before he finished his third lap.
Peter came in a minute later and Glen just a minute
behind him, Glen had Cookie fine tune some of his
running gear and this seemed to be working pretty well,
keeping pace with Peter and a little ahead of Rod -
apart from capsizing in the last lap he may well have
beaten them both - word from the point was he got the
death wobbles on the downwind run and then went
swimming!
Rod
finished his 3rd lap a couple of minutes ahead of
Russell on his 4th with Dave Harley only 90 secs behind,
Jim was 6 minutes back - but he said it was his rubbish
sail, so watch out when he has the better ones on!!
I
got to lap Ian just after the bottom mark and got home
for the second time a minute ahead of him.
Next
week is the 5th leg of the Single Handed and Laser
championship, 3pm start, duty crew is Justin &
Annette - so see you there.

Liverpool Cup!
Posted by D Humble at: 20.00 on Feb 19th
2012
|
Today saw 14 boats contest the Liverpool Cup. Two back
to back races over 2 short laps were run with plenty
of action on the water and even a number of upset
results particularly among the open class boats.
The first race started with boats taking a couple of
different lines, Justin and Annette in Casper had the
best of it at the top mark with David close behind.
Peter Spicer had a poor start and was well off the
pace Max Clinch lead the open boats with some tight
racing behind. I was doing pretty well in the club
Laser and having a good run against Cookie in Pie
& Peas, Graiden in Avatar and Max in I'll be
Blowed. The second lap had Peter Spicer move up and
take the lead from Justin, back in the field there
were several place changes and the field spread out in
the variable winds.
Peter Spicer was first home with Justin just 30 sec
behind and David a further 2 mins back, Max Clinch a
further 2 mins and then me holding off a fast
finishing Cookie, Max Hubbard and Graiden. Then Adam
in Bondi Tram with Dave Humble just behind, and Peter
Gardiner back another couple of mins. Glen and Rod
were battling it out in the Banshees and Ian Marks was
last home in the lone Pacer - with crew this week as
he convinced one of the trainees (Ashley) to race with
him. At the end of the first race she was treated to a
capsizing demonstration by Max Clinch, convenient as
we had only done the practise today!
Second race was immediately following the first and
was quite different with the more fancied boats
getting better starts Peter Spicer pretty much led
start to finish and Cookie was up not far fom Max
Clinch. Again there was lots of jossling for position
amongst us back in the pack. By the end the first 4
boats home were the same but Adam was next home
followed by Cookie, Graiden me then Peter Gardiner.
Dave Humble held off Max Hubbard and then there was
Glen and Rod behind - just in reversed order this
time! With Ian and Ashley finishing a fair way back.
So in the end after some massaging of the figures I
plucked the winner as Justin and Annette in Casper
ahead of Max Clinch in Posiedens Revenge and Max
Hubbard - nice working of the handicap and some
adjustments in order!!!
On Yardstick the winner was Peter Spicer & Cathy
Cox on No Mad from Justin & Annette then David
Cox.
Now some general admin. A revised Duty Roster list is
on the notice board , please take note of when you are
required. If unavailable for your rostered duty please
organise a replacement or at least let me know so we
can reorganise things a little. Also Dave Humble is
working on the club website so take a look and
give him any comments or suggestions for improving it.
Next week Adam and Chad have duty for the 5th leg of
the Open and Pacer Championship, let's hope for some
kind weather another great afternoon on the lake.

2012 NS14 Single Handed
Champs at Chipping Norton Lake SC
Posted by D Humble at:
20.00 on Feb 6 th 2012
|
Well the 2012 NS14 Single Handed Championship has
been run with a field of 12, including 6 visiting
boats, and won this year by our own Russell Moore.
Light winds greeted everyone on Saturday and we
delayed the start till some wind came in - around
2:30! Back to back races of 4 laps were scheduled
however the first race was shortened to 3 laps -
and not because Russell was winning!! 2nd and 3rd
were filled by visitors and Peter Spicer in 4th.
In the second race Peter almost managed to turn
the tables on Russell but came in second with
Russell finishing 4th, race was won by Graham Lee
of Northbridge. Sunday was a repeat of Saturday -
only more sun and less wind!! The start was
rescheduled to 1:30pm with two 3 lap back to back
races, of course the wind wouldn't co-operate and
we postponed the race with boats on water untill
2:20 when we decided to start the race anyway -
turned out to be a wise choice as the expected NE
wind finally came in and stayed for the rest of
the arvo. Peter Spicer and Chris Denman decided to
sit this race out due to the light winds at the
start. Last race saw Peter taking a good lead
untill just after the first lap when he very
uncharacteristically capsized and went from 1st to
near last - especially taking time to try and find
his sunglasses! However he did recover a little to
come in 5th position. Chris also had a good run to
finish off in 3rd position. Race was won by Alex
Chittenden from Northbridge.
A big thanks to all those involved in helping to
make the regatta successful - in particular Lynne
for organising lunch, Clancy for having a second
powerboat on the lake and Cookie for taking on
race officer for the regatta - but also everyone
else for helping launch /recover boats, manning
the tender or helping on the point. Looks like we
have built on last year, so let's look to keeping
it going in future. Next week (12 Feb 2012) is
another pointscore race , with the full range of
classes participating , summer series 16 with the
4th NS14 round being sailed, 3pm start - hope to
see you on the water.
Cheers

New Sprint Series great
success
Posted by S. Allen at: 2.00 pm on
April 15 th 2010
|
The Sprint Series races held for the Liverpool
Cup and the most recent Resail day on the 17 th
April were fantastic.
We will always be up against the weather to be
able to start the racing early enough to get at
least 5 races in,and
the 17 th was no exception,though we still
managed 4 races.
Wayne Loder being the winner on the day in very
light shifting winds that challenged all
skippers and crews.
We are planning to have as many Sprint Series
races fitted into the season's schedule as we
can without adding in
more race days.
The basic plan is to have them on 'unused'
Resail days as we did on the 17 th,plus also for
the 'Icebreaker Series'.
Ultimate aim is to introduce a Sprint Trophy or
Shield for the racing season with the Lverpool
Cup still a seperate
trophy but contributing to the overall season
score,along with any other 'special races' using
the same format.
The basic format will be as per the LC and the
17 th.
FORMAT for EST
11.00 AM race start.
Midday lunch-
1.00 PM race the afternoon out for as many races
as possible.
Boat(s) crews will roster through start duty.
We all need to be at the Lake at least 1 hr
before race start.
The first duty crew a bit earlier to set up the
race course and get the paperwork sorted.
To all our new sailors.
This type of racing is the ideal format to hone
your skills in a 'fun' environment.
To have multiple starts in pretty much the same
conditions with the same fleet can do a lot to
improve your confidence
and start/race tactics.
If you muck it up you don't have to wait another
week to try to improve,you get another crack at
it next race.
ALL GOOD FUN

2004 Nicorette R/C model
finally sets sail
Posted by S. Allen at: 11.00 pm on May
6th 2007
|
After 2 years in the build and many weeks
waiting for the right light winds for her first
sail plus some frustrating gear failures during
sets up on the bank,Stan Allen's R/C model of
the 2004 Sydney to Hobart winning Nicorette
finally gets out on the water.
There's more info on her in the 'Twinbeach
Modellers' pages under projects/Au,but
basically,she's 2 metres long with 11 remote
functions including a fully automatic
functioning canting keel.
Now that she has successfully passed her first
sailing test,the web pages will be further added
to with more info on her details and how she was
built.

Congratulations to Rhapsody
Posted by S. Allen at: 7.00
am on April 12 th 2007
|
Congratulations to skipper David Cox and
daughter Pip (crew) for their excellent 4 th
place on handicap aboard Rhapsody.
Of the 6 CNLSC Ns14 teams that competed in the
NSW NS14 State Champs at Toronto,Lake Macquarie
over the 2007 Easter long weekend,Rhapsody
was the only member yacht to finish all 6 races.
A strong 25+ knot squall blasted the 57 boat
fleet during the first race,causing havoc and
damage to our other 5 entrants,Rhapsody
kept it all together and made it to the finish
line.

Short Video clips added to
gallery page
Posted by S. Allen at: 11:00am on Feb
29 th 2007
|
As we are now taking video of our sailing
activities on the lake,I thought it would be
neat to include a short clip on the gallery
page.
As I am limited with web hosting space,the clips
have to be kept very short,about 2 mb in size
and 20 secs duration.
I will also be adding similar clips for the
model yachts and of course for Nicorette when
she can finally hit the water.
I do intend to 'swap' clips around regularly,not
have the same one playing all the time.

Both web sites are now combined into one.
The Twinbeach site is still there with only the
front page and is automatically redirected to
the CNLSC site in 5 secs.
I'm not all that satisfied with the menu's so
any feedback would be much appreciated.

Twinbeach Modellers -
sailing days changed Posted by S. Allen at:
1:00pm on Jan 29 th 2007
|
Starting from Feb 2007,the sailing days for the
model yachts will change from 1st and 3 rd
sundays of each month to the 2 nd and 4 th
sundays of each month.
This was brought about by our mates at Sydney
A's, sailing now at Penrith, having to switch
around to suit the requirements of their new
venue.
Also,the sailing calendars for both groups have
now been combined into one on the CNLSC site and
Twinbeach will be linked to it.
Another project in the pipe is to combine both
web sites into one,saving both time and space.

date,as more are added,will take you directly to
that report.
There is a 'RESULTS' link for the resp days on
the CALENDAR that will also take you directly to
that report.
A progressive pointscore table will be added
very shortly and will most likely be placed at
the very bottom of the page with a link at the
top so as not to block the 'RESULTS' links.
Lynne was the 'backbone' of this report,in that
she jotted down some pertinant notes for me as
well as taking some photos with my camera,which
she then emailed to me,including also the race
sheet.
I ask for all members on start duty to follow
Lynne's lead by taking brief race notes to help
with the creation of race reports,can even write
the full thing if you wish to be involved with
the process.
Our next aim is to have these reports published
each week in the newspaper.

The dinghy sailors put their regular sailing to
another day to assist CNLSC-Twinbeach Modellers
to run the East Coast 12 Metre State Champs on
the weekend of 11 th and 12 th march 2006.
Apart from Frank Spittle (modeller) as RO on the
saturday,all other official duties were
performed by dinghy sailors,thus freeing up
modellers normally involved,enabling them to
compete.
Our Commodore Russell was there both days and
served as RO on the sunday.Others who gave of
their time were Lynne,Phil,Paula,Rod,Tina and
Matt.
Lynne was again the behind the scenes player
providing all with food and keeping the mobile
fridge topped up to quench everyones thirsty
throats.
Our lake played it's part with perfect weather
and conditions for the model class showing once
again to all the appreciative participants that
the lake really is great for all forms of
yachting.

CNLSC has top time at
Parramatta Park.

Chipping Norton Lake Sailing Club and Twinbeach
Modellers enjoyed a great day at Parramatta Park
for the Australia Day display.
We had several model yachts there representing 3
classes,A class,EC 12,and the new Au maxi's.
Also on display was Chris Denman's NS 14.
Our main purpose for being there was to make
more people aware of Yachting, specifically
Model Yachting,rather than just trying to get
some new members.
There were many thousands of people roaming the
park and taking in all the displays and from the
general conversations overhead,we were surprised
at just how many were unaware that Model
Yachting even existed.
More amazing was that many were also unaware
that Chipping Norton had lakes and we sailed on
them.
We have to therefore say that our mission was
accomplished and we look foreward to doing the
display again next year.

Chipping Norton Lake Sailing Club and
it's members have been without a web site for
some time after the loss of their host. As I was
building a new web site for Twinbeach Modellers
I figured I may as well do the main club site
too.
Please report any difficulties to my personal
email address shown at the bottom of this page,
or click this link-- EMAIL
BUGS NOW --to send me a bug-report.I also
welcome any comments about the site.
Ultimately this site will have as many features
and information sources as time and space will
permit.
I have a 10 mb limit to this particular web addy
but have a further 4 x 10 mb spots available to
link with as required and shared with the
Twinbeach Modellers site,so I'll be keeping it
as tight as possible.
