On the weekends of 6/7th and 13/14th March the Club is hosting two large events. The first weekend there will be up to 45 Laser dinghies competing in a European qualifier event and on the second there will be 200 Optimists competing in their National Spring Championship.

Considerable effort has been put into minimising the disruption to normal activity, but these numbers of visiting competitors are necessarily going to affect the normal use of the Club's facilities. There are maps showing how the car park and yard will be used for the 6/7th and 13/14th. Only members cars will be allowed in the car park. All visitors cars, caravans, mobile homes and boat trailers will park in the land to the left of the Club entrance. An event information sheet is available for the first weekend here containing more information about the event and mobile phone numbers of the event organisers. A similar sheet for the weekend of the 13/14th and any other information will be published here when available.

Turbo Event Report

Just four hardy Laser 2000 crews braved the 20 knot winds and horizontal rain to take part in the CBYC Asymmetric Turbo challenge on 20th January.
With gusts of between 25 and 30 knots, the conditions were challenging and there were capsizes a-plenty. Congratulations to Paul Thomas for being brave enough to take his boat out for the first time despite the conditions – judging by the size of the grins afterwards, I don’t think we’ve put him off.
Three 10-minute windward-leeward races were run with time between races for the more experienced crews to go for a blast and for the safety boat to help retrieve the less experienced from their premature swim. The format is designed to give close racing, with emphasis on the start and good mark rounding. To gain maximum enjoyment from the event, helms and crews were encouraged to swap over between races.
In Race 1, Jon Warburton and his crew got off to a good start, only to lose their lead at the first spinnaker drop when a tangled line forced them to sail some way off the course before they could put the spinnaker away. Andrew Phillips and Kevin Rolfe took advantage to take first place. In Race Two, Jon led the way from start to finish. Marc Watts, sailing with Paul Taylor, went for a gybe with the spinnaker up on the second downwind leg only to be catapulted into the water in a spectacular capsize. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough with the video camera to capture the action. In Race 3, again Jon showed that consistency and keeping the boat upright is key as he notched up a second win.

Sailors Points
Jon Warburton and Crew 4
Andrew Phillips & Kevin Rolfe 6
Paul Taylor & Marc Watts 8
Paul Thomas & Crew 12

Over a hot coffee in the boat park, everyone agreed that the event had been enormous fun and that we should run similar events for each of the "adopted fleets" on a regular basis.
A huge thanks to Idris Dibble and Ian Horton for their help on the safety boat and coach boat in miserable conditions.

'Turbo' event

Looking for a way of working off some of those mince pies? Hoping to get some racing practice before the start of the next series? Next weekend's 'Turbo' event might just be the ticket! Fast and furious, the idea is to have as many 10 minute races as we can fit into a two and a half hour session as we can. Each race will consist of a three minute starting sequence followed by two laps of a windward-leeward course. I will be on board the rescue boat with my video camera to film each start and your mark roundings so that you can see how you did in the bar at the end of the session. For the Laser 2000, Stratos, Vago, RS200 and Vareos the time difference from fastest to slowest in a 10 minute race is less than 30 seconds, which should make for close racing, and for the purposes of the results you will be sailing off the same handicap. If there are only one or two Laser 4000s, I will multiply your times by 1.2 to get a result. We will aim to start on the water at 10.30, Andrew and I will be at the club from 09.30 to help and advise. During the racing, if you want to sit out a race, or come alongside for some top tips that will be fine. If you can't make a 10.30 start, come along anyway and join in the next start as soon as you get on the water. Please let me know if you intend coming along. Regards Helen
it is open to CBYC and CYC members with an Asymmetric Dinghy with a PY in the range 900 to 1100

Any monohulled yacht can take part and entries from novice racers and cruising yachts are especially welcome. You don’t have to have a full on racing boat to take part in our racing, and what better way is there to hone your sailing skills than a two hour race every week!

New RYA course for Fishermen and Power boaters

The Royal Yachting Association have brought out a new shorebased course written specially for fishermen, power boaters, and divers, as well as for sailors, and CBYC will be running this course for the first time this spring. The course covers navigation, both paper and electronic, tides, buoyage and colregs (the Marine Highway code), together with weather forecast basics and safety. It is not an academic course – it’s a practical classroom course run in a way that makes it interesting. All you need is simple school arithmetic skills and access to a PC running Windows. There is no exam at the end of the course! Tuition totals 16 hours which we can do either as one evening a week for 8 successive weeks, starting in March 2008, or as two full days in one or two weekends again in March 2008. If you are interested, come along to the enrolment evening to hear more and we will sort out dates and decide whether to run a 2 day course or an 8 week course (or both) at the time. Enrolment: CBYC Clubhouse – Quay Lounge (Downstairs Bar) Tuesday 5th February 20:00 hours If you can’t make enrolment but are still interested in learning about the course, then phone the tutor, Howard Easton on tel: 01291 671118 or email: howard_easton@hotmail.com

The People’s £50 Million - Sustrans' Connect2 bid

Sustrans' Connect2 bid is competing on ITV against 3 other projects in the Big Lottery Fund’s: The People’s £50 Million contest
Who wins the £50 million will be decided by a public vote.
Sustrans' Connect2 is an ambitious UK-wide project that will make it possible for millions of people to make everyday journeys in a way that is good for health and the 0environment. Connect2 will transform local travel in 79 cities, towns and villages across the UK by creating new walking and cycling routes for the journeys we all make every day. New bridges and crossings will be created over busy roads, railway lines and rivers that currently stop people getting around by foot or bike. Each crossing will link to a network of walking and cycling routes, making it possible to get directly and safely to the shops, school, work, the park and to the countryside. Connect2 will put you back in touch with your local area, your family and friends. For example the Pont y Werin foot and cycle bridge crossing the River Ely to link Cardiff and Penarth is one of 79 projects across the UK. If Connect2 wins, Sustrans will allocate £1.15 million of the £50 million towards Pont y Werin being built. The 140 metre bridge would enable pedestrians and cyclists to cross between Penarth at Cogan and the International Sports Village at Cardiff Bay. It would also open to allow the passage of river traffic. For more details on this, and the other 78 Sustrans projects across the UK see http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/schemes
Everyone can vote for Connect2 to win. Click here to see how to vote

The Welsh Optimist Championships

As the President of Cardiff Bay Yacht Club I would like to extend my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the immense effort put in to the organisation both on and off the water of this highly successful Welsh National Optimist meeting. Well over seventy dinghies on the water from all over the United Kingdom and Ireland - three days of superb racing with CBYC young members showing their skills in triumphant fashion. I am sure I speak for all the officers of the Club and all members of the Council of Management when I say that the Club should be extremely proud of the meticulous arrangements that had been put in place - the "village" of camper vans - the very sensible huge temporary parking arrangements - on the water the O.O.D's, mark layers and safety boats worked without an apparent hitch! We have been congratulated from all quarters on the way we did it - it makes me feel very proud to be President of a Club that can hold and organise such an enormous meeting - well done everyone concerned! John Mead. President.

Club Yearbook 2006/2007

It was decided at our January Committee meeting that the Club yearbook is to go out to every member and will be enclosed with the May issue of Bear Essentials. This decision was taken in response to many requests from members. It is also an ideal advertising opportunity for large and small businesses alike. You do not have to be a member of CBYC nor does your business need to be based around nautical influences. If you need any further information please either contact our Admin Office on 029 2066 6627 or Jane Hall on 029 2051 4915. However, time is getting short and all copy, together with payment, should be with our Admin Office no later than the 28th February 2006. A booking form can be printed off our website or alternatively one can be posted to you if you contact the office on the above number What would you like to see in the Club Year book? It is, after all, printed for the use and convenience of all of us. If anyone has any strong views or suggestions for the improvement of the handbook please email me on jh@janie.f9.co.uk Jane Hall Membership Secretary

Two Islands Race

The Two Islands Race went ahead with a forecast that did not bode well for completing the course.
But to everyone delight when we got out side we had winds from the West at between 14 to 7 knots.
The first boat completed the course in 1hour 7minits 37 with the last boat finishing in 2hours 4minits 18. The first and second boat crossed the line with queals of delight being heard across the channel, subsequent boats crossing the line with whoop of joy and big wows
Sun shine and good winds in the right direction made for exciting sailing and everyone came of the water asking if we are going to hold the same next week
I would like to say from all the sailors who took part a very big thank you to all who turned out to patrol and support the event
The prize giving was delayed due to the race officer being stranded on the mud for an hour, then having to wait out side for an hour to get a lock in, but sitting out there at with a 40 deg list was an experience it its self.
I think it will be all systems go for the same event next year and possibly opening it up to other classes. We can only wait and see

Old Gaffers

CBYC is co-hosting a sailing event with the Old Gaffers Association (OGA) for boats with traditional rig sails- gaff, lug, gunter etc. It is taking place over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of June and is being organised by John Hutchinson and Viv Head, both CBYC members.
If you have such a vessel, large or small, young or old, we would like to invite you to join in. I have attached a flier that gives a bit more information, as well as a registration form. A number of boats are due to participate, including a few from the other side of the Bristol Cnannel and a couple of smaller trailer sailers. I own 'Fleur' a 17 foot lug-sailed ketch.
The Old Gaffers Association serves only to promote traditional rig sailing and has members from all walks of life across the UK. Many are boat owners of course but some are not. And the OGA is not in competition with any other sailing club.
If you would like to join in the event, please contact Viv Head

Angling Competition Results

Here are the results of the Open Cod Competition held on 7th November 2004

The first prize of £600 + 50% of the pool monies was won by Alan Jeffries of Cwmbran Angling. with a Cod of 15lb 4ozs.
Second was Paul Backhouse, £300 + 30% pool, Boat, “Sandpiper”, with a Cod of 14lb 7ozs.
Third was Ray Smith, £200 + 20% Pool, Boat, “Watcher”, [D Hobbs], with a Cod of 13lb 15ozs.

There were 31 prizes in total and there were 33 Cod, over 6lbs, weighed in. The Comp was very well attended with 110 boats and 426 Anglers, a record attendance for us. Considering the number fishing the number of Cod over 6lbs was considered low. Where have they all gone?

The presentation of the prizes in the evening went very well and we gave a donation of £500 to the NOAH's ARK Children's Hospital Appeal.

Nathan wishes to thank all those who made donations and gave their support to the sail, particularly the rescue boat.

Piles of information from Roger

For all those of ou wondering what is happening . . . Piles arrive at ABP end next week. We have the Environment agency consents now in place. The piles should be loaded on the piling platform beginning of week commencing 12 th July, with work proceeding from there. There will be disruption to members facilities whilst piling is proceeding. Members will be kept out of the piling area for obvious safety reasons. Piling starts at the western most end and the pontoons will be moved totheir new positions as piling proceeds. This will mean a break in the pontoon system so we will be arranging for work boats to ferry people during the works in progress. We have one issue with one of our piles, on the present plan it goes straight through the centre of the old subway, so there will be a slight redesign under way as piling starts. Some of you will hae seen notices to Mariners in respect of out works. The notice gives us a rather too generous exclusion zone around the piling barge, which if we took it up would close the river. The exclusion zone is in place for everyones safety, you do not want to be close to a two tonne 12 metre long pile if it is dropped or falls over. It could ruin your boat.

Wednesday night sailing or should I say capsizing Out of the boats taking to the water only three survived the weather and were there when the race fall apart Hanna Jones in her Optimist, Richard Jennings/Nathan Baily in the Laser 2000 and Chris and Di Pain in their Dart 18 were still upright when i decided that enough was enough. Race Abandoned The presentation for the Spring series was poorly attended with only the Fast Fleet Winner and nine members being present The Stradform trophy was presented to the Fast fleet winner ( Bill Turton ) by Jeremy Taylor ( dinghy chairman )
