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.

Saturday October 10th was the date chosen to attempt a small gathering of Ospreys for a day’s racing from Weymouth Sailing Club, and to once again revel in the sights and sounds of these magnificent racing machines doing battle where they belong on the open waters of Weymouth Bay.

There were some photographs taken of the racing and they can bee seen here.

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!
