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.

Osprey Invitational Event - Weymouth SC

The NOR is now available and can be accessed via this link: https://wsc.org.uk/Ospreyinv, the SI's will follow soon.

This event on the 10th October from Weymouth Sailing Club is limited to 15 boats so would like to fill that quota if possible.

Due to a Topper Traveller event on the Sunday there will not be any racing at Castle Cove SC now. However, we are looking at doing something from Weymouth SC for those that wish to do both days to make the travel worthwhile.

Class Boat Ready for Use

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.

Oscar Chess has produced two video compilations, Saturday and Sunday, of him sailing 1348 'Jammy Dodger' with David Charles .

Beautiful morning in Paignton! Lovely big waves and a few surfers (although hopefully none of the boats will be surfing to the shore like that!) 7 Ospreys and 8 Fireballs entered, looking forward to the first Osprey Event of the year!

A select band of sailors enjoyed a fantastic day sailing at Paignton! The morning started with catching up with everyone and ended up comparing boats and rudder sizes... It is still not confirmed which is best!

Osprey 1116 "Lethal Weapon"

Details: Category: Boats for Sale; Published: 06 September 2020; Last Updated: 06 September 2020; Hits: 186

A true classic! This boat lives up to its name!

Built by McCutcheon in 1976, this is only 1 of 3 ospreys built by this builder. I have sailed this boat since 2001 and owned it since 2016. The boat is on minimum weight (139.9kg inclusive of centreboard) and dry stored every winter and at times if the summer is particularly wet. This project has been a lot of fun and having the chance to sail it back at the front of the Osprey fleet on the National circuit, fills me with pride. But now it is time to be giving someone else the opportunity to take this boat forward.
