Event Reports

It is important for the class profile that we regularly and promptly send out reports of Osprey Class Open Meetings and other sailing events in which Osprey owners compete.

The order for report writing of an Osprey Class Open Meeting or a mixed classes regatta is:

1.
Highest placed Osprey Class committee member writes the report        		 2.
Whoever is third overall in the Osprey Class writes the report                            		 3.
If less than 3 Ospreys participating in the event then the last placed Osprey crew to write the report.   
Reports are always welcome from others as well, it gives an additional perspective of the racing.

The report to be submitted preferably with a photograph or two of the sailing & the results by the Tuesday after the event. That gives a chance of the report being used by Yachts & Yachting magazine as well as https://www.yachtsandyachting.com. The guidelines for how it is done are at https://www.yachtsandyachting.com/…/Guidelines-for-submitti…

You should also copy the report, photographs & results to Huw, and do some blogs on Facebook. Be sure to ask at the host club to find out if photos are available. If not, Angela Mamwell often has photos. Taking a photograph of the results sheet on your phone and posting it on Facebook during the weekend is also good - please check it is a readable image before posting. Facebook is good for internal communication within the class, but we need https://www.yachtsandyachting.com/ and our website for external comm, in the hope of attracting new people to the class.

Report by David Downs

Twelve boats attended the Mounts Bay Open Meeting on the 4th and 5th May. We were treated to almost wall to wall sunshine albeit the Northerly wind kept the temperature down and out on the water it was bitterly cold.

The forecast was for a strong northerly on the Saturday and a light and shifty breeze on the Sunday so the Race Officer Malcolm Woolcock elected to hold three races back to back on Saturday so that should racing on Sunday prove impossible we would at least have a three race series. The fleet launched on the Saturday in a gentle ten knots or so but once we reached the course area it was blowing more like twenty five knots. I can't say much about what happened as Mick and my day finished at the first gybe mark but seven boats blasted around in the testing conditions with Terry and Pete winning.

The Sunday racing was indeed cancelled as what breeze there was came from all the points of the compass. It may not have been the most successful of sailing events but we had a great weekend in an idyllic location and are looking forward to going back there in August when we are assured the water in the bay will be warmer.
