Former CSORC Captain’s News

To be honest, we are not sure who enjoys the tasters more our guests or ourselves? Thanks to the following volunteers for making it happen: Eric Andrew, John Cranwell Ward, Jon Davies, Tony Garrick, Mark Grout, Dave Grundy, Charlotte Johnson, Mike Simmons, Mike Threadgill and Steve Glen* *those highlighted are new members who joined in 21/ early 22 . The remainder are our stalwart members who turn out regularly year after year for our club and our taster guests. Thank you all. CSSA AGM Saturday 23 April 2022 RCSSC was delighted to welcome fellow CSSA members to the CSSA AGM which was held at Rutland Sailing Club (RSC), home of RCSSC. The AGM took place in the morning and was followed by a buffet lunch before breaking up into groups to discuss offshore sailing and I led a small group on a 2.5 mile walk to the Dam via Normanton Church and back – giving folks the opportunity to take in the views including Hambleton Peninsula, Normanton Church , the view from the Dam looking down the North leg of Rutland Water and then returning to RSC which is on the South leg of Rutland Water. We had hoped to take folks out in our keelboats and volunteers were all ready to go – as we all know, the weather dictates and strong winds prevented sailing – until next time.

Former CSORC Captain wins major event!

Congratulations to Richard Palmer and Rupert Holmes the overall winners of the 2022 Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race for the best corrected time under IRC

Richard Palmer’s JPK 1010 Jangada, racing Two-Handed with Rupert Holmes, was the overall winner of the 2022 Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race. Jangada won the Royal Ocean Racing Club's Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race by just 0.03% in a race of 1,805 nautical miles! In a dramatic final twist to an intense and highly complex race, the overall winner was decided by the thinnest of margins. After IRC time correction for 15 days of racing, Jangada won overall by seven minutes and nine seconds.
