Commodore’s Comments
It’s been a busy few weeks at
the club since our last edition
of the newsletter, with lots going on both on and off the water. Our Adult Learn to Sail
Course has come to a close
with a new group of enthusiastic sailors graduating with
RYA Level 2 qualifications.
Congratulations to you all and
a big thankyou to Sandy and
his team of volunteers for giving up their Friday evenings
and Saturday mornings, to provide what is an essential provision within the club. Provision
which is only possible because
we have a number of well
trained and experienced instructors to draw upon; otherwise many of the courses the
club hope to provide year on
year would prove prohibitively
expensive. To that end the club
does provide a number of Dinghy Instructor and Assistant
Instructor courses. I believe
there are still places remaining
on this year’s instructor
course, so if you have ever
contemplated helping out with
the adult course or are consid-
ering getting more involved
in junior fleet, then why not
have a chat with Sandy.
Our powerboat and sailing
courses are RYA national
training schemes, which are
widely regarded as world
leaders. We are only able to
offer these by virtue of being
a recognised training centre.
RYA recognition means our
centre has passed the high
standards of annual inspection
including safety checks. We
are teaching to RYA standards, on appropriate equipment and instructor student
ratios, and importantly in a
safe environment. Ongoing
recognition is subject to an
annual inspection which this
year coincided with the last
Friday session of the Learn to
Sail Course. I am pleased to
say we passed. Thanks to
Dave, Sandy and the team on
achieving and maintaining
these high standards and ensuring our courses deliver excellent training, something as
a club we can all be proud of.
Junior Fleet is also in full
swing. I really am envious of
our juniors who are fortunate
to have been introduced to our
sport at a great age and of the
many years of sailing that lay
before them. It really is great
to hear their laughter and enjoyment reverberating around
the foreshore each and every
Saturday morning. Complementing our extensive fleet of
junior boats this year, two new
RS Teras are awaiting collection and will be arriving soon.
On the social front, our annual
Pig Roast took place on Saturday 19th June and coming up
we have the new members
evening on July 2nd.
Finally I would like to congratulate the winners of the President’s Trophy this year. Befitting of Father’s Day the top
three places were all occupied
by father and daughter teams.
And not forgetting our junior
competitors for competing in
all four races.

Getting onto the water
VERY IMPORTANT
It is a condition of the CLUB’S
INSURANCE that anyone using
any POWERED BOAT
(RETREAT, MOBY, RIBs, DORYs, JAFFA – any inboard or outboard engine) is required to have
the 'Safety Familiarisation Course’
as a minimum qualification.
Also when a Power Boat is being
used as a Safety Boat there must
be a minimum of two Safety Officers on board and in charge who
have BOTH completed the 'Safety
Familiarisation Course’ as a minimum qualification. SO1 should
have experience in safety duties.
If you do not have experience,
please opt for the SO2 role to allow yourself to gain experience.
Please help Dave Driffill to compile a register of everyone’s training. He has a form which we ask
all members to complete and return it ASAP.
If you have not attended the Safety
Familiarisation Course please contact Dave Driffill
at daved.ff3449@gmail.com .
OODs please can you put out a
white SOCIAL SAIL SIGN ON
SHEET each day and place on the
daily results board if anyone social
sails.
All Sailors
I have been asked by several
OODs and DO1s to remind sailors
that when you SIGN ON can you
please PRINT YOUR NAME
clearly.
Pursuit races please can sailors remember to continue sailing in position at the 1st sound signal until
the 2nd sound signal. This is to
give the OOD/DO1 time to log
your positions.
When ashore please remember to
SIGN OFF after a race, this tells
Safety you are ashore. If a Pursuit
race please remember to put who/
what boat and sail number is in
front and behind you at the 1st
sound signal. You are writing
your position at the end of a Pursuit race as a check for the OOD.
Can you help in the Bar?
I would like to ask members if
anyone would be able to help on a
rota basis with the bar after sailing on Wednesday evening, Saturday or Sunday afternoons or at
club events. Simon and Jess Law
are regulars providing the bar at
the moment. But I feel a rota
with several people would spread
this task.
Please contact Simon by email
slaw8135@gmail.com or Tel:
01246 865173
Sailing
It has been good to see Social
sailors on the water taking the
opportunity to sail whilst racing is
taking place. The warm weather
recently has made sailing really
very pleasurable but with not so
good wind. Hopefully we’ll
have more favourable sailing conditions. The water level has
dropped significantly but there is
still plenty of water to sail. Why
not come on down to the club and
have a sail while the safety cover
is on for the racing and stay for a
chat in the clubhouse after.
When you come down PLEASE
SIGN ON printing your name
clearly either to Race (blue sheet)
or Social Sail (white sheet), if Social sailing please also let the
OOD know (via the radio) that
you are sailing so they can advise
you where the racing will be happening. Also remember to SIGN
OFF when you have finished
EACH RACE or when your packing up for the day if Social Sailing. If you use a Club Boat can
you please fill in a Usage Log
with your details and the diary.
Donations should be put in a little
envelope with your name, date,
boat used and amount on it and
placed in the blue tin in the corridor. Please can you put the Us-
age log in the bulldog clip on the
Daily Results Board.
If you sail outside of racing please
can you fill out a Safety Log, a Social Sail Sign On sheet and Club
Boat log and Diary if used. These
are all together in the corridor on
the Management and Sailing Committee noticeboard, the sheets then
need to go onto the Daily Results
Board.
Sailing Matters.
The Sunday Spring Class series has
finished with 57 sailors signing on,
15 qualifiers. A results table is later in the newsletter.
The 3rd Hoggard race saw 11 boats
racing, the overall results are that
40 sailors have signed on to race so
far with the results now 1st John
Mellors in his Flying Firteen, 2nd
Martin Honnor in his Solo, 3rd Phil
Hind in his Laser. You still have
two more races left 6th July - GH
and 3rd August - P.
On Saturday 4th June we had the
first Novice Race with Dave
Driffill as OOD and there were 18
sailors signed on. It was great to
see everyone sailing. The wind
wasn’t the best for first-timers racing but everyone had a go which is
what we wanted. We had 5 adults
three from the Learn to Sail and
two ladies Sara Martin and Jane
Mellors. 13 juniors sailed, some
had only started sailing this year.
Very well done to you all for coming to race.
On Saturday 18th June we had the
second Novice Race and there
were 4 adults, 5 DYS Juniors and 7
Junior sailors signed on. This
time we had 3 starts Adults, DYS
Juniors and Juniors. We had a
briefing before the race at 12 noon.
Everyone signed on then after the
briefing everyone launched, the
Lead Boat showed the way around
the course and the instructors on
the water made sure everyone enjoyed their sail. Dave Wood was
OOD. The course was around 4
buoys and everyone did at least 1
lap. You all did really well, see
you on the 2nd July for the third
Novice Race.
Please come and have a go, we
will help you as much as we can.
We will have a briefing before
each novice race to explain things
about the race and for you to ask
questions also.
You still have 2nd July – also the

On Sunday 5th June we had the
Laser and Solo Open, we had 11
visiting Lasers and 11 club sailors
and there were 12 club Solo sailors. Ogston’s first three Laser’s

Ball was 8th and Rob Spencer 9th,
Lee Howard was 1st Junior sailing

to everyone as it wasn’t the best
sailing conditions. Reports to follow later in the newsletter.
Over the weekend of the 11th and
12th June we had the Flying Fifteen Open alongside normal club
racing. We had 6 visitors and 2
club boats who had 5 races and
needed to sail 4 to qualify. Simon
Law was OOD who had Jess Law,
Andy Knighton and Alison Molloy
helping him in Retreat. The wind
was very fickle being SE to SW 23 on Saturday and E to S 3-4 on
Sunday. Overall winners Jon and
Julia Ward and 6th was Dave
Driffill and Gus Hurring.
th
On Sunday 19 June, we had the
third Premier Event of the year,
the President’s Trophy, which
was a one day event with 4 races 3
to count this year in response to
the member survey. There were
21 main fleet boats and 3 Junior
boats signed on to sail and the
weather was mild and fine until
the rain came during the 4th race.
The wind was light and variable.
The President’s Trophies were
won by Simon and Jess Law, 2nd
was Martin and Abigail Honnor,
and 3rd was Andy and Sarah
Gomm. All father and daughter
teams, quite fitting for Father’s
Day. The Jackie Degg Trophy
for 1st Lady went to Jess Law,
John Swain sailing his Laser was
awarded the title of most improved sailor during the event.
The Junior President’s Trophy
and medals went to 1st Lee Howard, 2nd Kieran Goodliffe and 3rd
James Goodliffe. Junior sailor
James Barnsdale in a Opti Bat
came to race for the first time in
normal club racing but the conditions overwhelmed him, better
luck next time James. Well
done to all who sailed.

New Members Sail and Social on Saturday 2nd July
Dear Member,
I would like to invite you and your friends and family to our New Members Event on Saturday 2 nd
July. Please come down to the club to sail in the afternoon and have ‘food’ later whilst meeting
other members.
There will be the Novice Race, starting at 12.30pm and either social or racing sailing during the
afternoon. Some members who are at the club during the morning bring lunch to eat before the
Racing that starts at 2.00pm and 4.00pm.
The ‘food’ options are an early BBQ meal after sailing and or a meal later at 8.00pm, both meals
are £5.00/person and special diets can be catered for.
It is hoped that the early timing of the BBQ will enable families in particular to eat at the club and
spend some time meeting other members after sailing and during the evening. This will be a
great opportunity to get to know other new and existing members of Ogston and have some fun at
the same time. Do come along. Why not camp overnight and stay for the Enterprise Open on
Sunday, sorry NO Social sailing.
All we ask is that you contact Paula Tyers as detailed below ASAP before 24th June, with how
many and what your food requirements are such as Adult or Child, vegetarian and gluten free etc.

SUN SHINES ON THE YOUTH FLEET AT COMBS SAILING CLUB
On Saturday 28th May, five youth sailors and two junior sailors and parents, headed up to Combs Valley Sailing
club with boats loaded on roof racks, to compete in the DYS event.
With light winds the first race was underway on a superb long course, with Ogston sailors moving up and down
the field with James Daniels finishing 2nd and Tom Cashin 5th.
After lunch the sailors took to the water for the following back to back races. The sun shone but the winds
ranged from light to nothing! James Daniels had another fantastic battle in his laser 1 with Will Gold from
Carsington, sailing a Super Nova, with James sailing past the line in 1 st place.
The third and final race got underway with the winds dropping even more, if that was possible, with sailors
searching for wind which came and went across the res. Of note James finished 2 nd and Tom, the third topper in.
The results were posted but following a recount James Daniels was awarded silver in the senior class, Tom
Cashin bronze in the intermediate class and Ben Knott, gold in the junior class.
Another very successful day for Ogston Youth.

Laser Open June 5th 2016
22 Lasers from 10 different clubs
competed for this year’s Ogston
Laser Open Trophy. The winds
were light and fickle making
course setting as well as the sailing difficult. For the first race The
Solos started first with the Lasers
starting 5 minutes later. Ian Jones
from Dovestone SC , looking to
win the trophy for the 10th time,
led the fleet from the Windward
Mark closely followed by Paul
Williamson from Staunton Harold SC. These two pulled away
from the rest of the fleet to eventually finish 1 and 2. Garry Knott
from Ogston worked his way up
to third but was not able to catch
Ian and Paul. Charlotte Greenhalgh of Leigh and Lowton SC
moved through the fleet to finish
fourth.
The second and third races were
sailed back to back and the wind
continued to be difficult varying
from 0 to 10knts and shifting between North East and South East.
In race 2 Ian Jones again led the
fleet closely followed by Garry
and Paul. By the finish Joe Scurral of Carsington SC managed to
overhaul Paul to finish in third
place. Charlotte was down in 7th.
In the last race it was Charlotte’s
turn to lead the fleet round the
course and was able to hold off
both Ian and Paul who stuck to her
transom for the whole race. Joe
Scurral finished 4th with Garry finishing in 6th.
So once again Ian Jones took the
Ogston Laser Open Trophy. For
the 10th time in 10 appearances.
The Ogston Laser sailors did get a
chance to look at the trophy be-
fore it was whisked away and we
did see one Ogston name on
there with Matt Rawson winning
the trophy in 2009. Paul Goodison the Laser Olympic Gold
Medallist also appears having
won the trophy in 1995,1996 and
1999.
Results
I have some photos of the event
taken by Kent and Myself which
hopefully will go up on the website and on the notice board if you
are interested.

Sandy Dowell
Training Officer
Sailability
I hope you all enjoyed the letters in the newsletter from
Mark, Jono and Callum last
month. I really thought
Ogston Members were a bit
more helpful than the response I had from the newsletter. Thank you to Simon
Law who offered to help out
on the odd Saturday; His was
the only response we had.
Like we said in the newsletter
piece, all we are asking is for
you to offer to help on a Saturday or Sunday to be a buddy. It’s not every Saturday or
Sunday. What we are trying to
do is get together a list of
names so if Mark, Jono or
Callum need a buddy we can
get in touch with you. I put a
great amount of time in at
Ogston doing jobs around the
place, Tuesday club, Rear
Commodore Safety and two
committee meetings a month.
So I would really appreciate
help from as many members
as possible. Just email me or
talk to me when you see me at
the club. Anybody can buddy.
We will tell you what they
need for you to do, so helms
or crews we don’t mind.
