Recently received via email.
Last night the committee met to discuss the questionnaire feedback from the signed up competitors. The response was good and a clear mandate was received which has unfortunately led to the decision to cancel the Osprey 2020 Nationals.

The 2020 Osprey Class AGM was held online via Zoom on Thursday 6th August 2020 at 19.30 BST.

The minutes of the meeting are now available via link below.

The agenda, statement of 2019 accounts & balance sheet and 2019 AGM Notes; can all be downloaded in PDF format via links on this page - index.php/publications/member-documents - [scroll down to see the links].

There has been some effort going on in the background to try and provide an opportunity for Ospreys to meet up and race together under the Covid glare. We are pleased to report that we now have a confirmed date:

• Saturday October 10th at Weymouth Sailing Club, Dorset
• 3 Races back to back in Weymouth Bay of approx 1 hour each

We are looking for support for this event. 1 day has been chosen as it limits the social gathering side of things and allows people to travel to and from in that day if required.

For those that would prefer to stay for the weekend there will be club racing at Castle Cove Sailing Club on the Sunday morning with the first race starting at 10:30am, 2 races back to back and an Osprey start if enough boats arrive. The plan would be for boats to sail around from Weymouth into Portland Harbour for the racing.

At this stage we want to see what appetite there is for this.

End of Season Final Fling at Carsington SC scheduled for 10th & 11th October has been cancelled.

The class boat is now ready to be loaned out.

We need to look to the future of the class and the new blood that can be welcomed into the Osprey family. The details (application form and loan agreement form) on how to acquire the boat for a defined period are now available. The forms can be filled in electronically, but with Google Chrome browser when you save a completed form it does not save the information you have entered. This is not much good. So on Microsoft Windows systems, download document and open with either Adobe Acrobat Reader or Microsoft Edge browser.

The Osprey Class Committee are actively looking for  the first crew to take her on and join us. If you know of a suitable crew then get in touch with your committee members or local Osprey representatives.
