Platform Clearance
Dear Summer Platform Parking users.
The Summer Platform Parking Season is coming to an end and we need a total platform clearance of all the dinghies and other types currently on the deck to make room for the lift-out which is scheduled for Saturday 16th October.
If your boat is not in use in one of the Club organised training, anymore please make sure to come and collect it as soon as possible as the skeleton boathouse staff needs to reconfigure the platform well in advance of the lift-out to make room for cradles deliveries from Monday 11th October
ALL dinghies (optimists / Toppers / Lasers / Topaz / Vagos / 29ers / Fireballs / RS 400 / RS 200 etc...) must be removed by Sunday 10th October 18:00 at the very latest.
Please note that we do not have room to store any boat even temporarily on the Carlisle Pier and cannot facilitate any such request!
The Committee is currently reviewing the UNPRECEDENTED HIGH DEMAND for platform space from the various user groups this winter (junior dinghy sailors / adult dinghy sailors / single handed / 2 handed boats / keelboat winter storage) and will have to limit the various classes of boats to strict numbers. An online winter platform parking application form reflecting the fact that demand will outstrip supply will be issued shortly.

The event which counts as an IODAI ranking event saw 120 sailors compete across 3 fleets. In winds of 10 â 15 knots, it was a very long day on the water on Sunday to achieve 3 races.

The NYC was represented in both the main fleet by Theo Madigan who performed well and Ava Ennis, who won the 5th race and finished 6th overall.
In the junior main fleet, Louise Hanley from NYC won first prize in the Bronze Fleet. The other participants from NYC in the junior main fleet were Felix Dion, Lucas Browne and Jonathan Dempsey.
It was in the regatta fleet that NYC scooped most prizes with a strong performance from Max Neary, who won race 3 and finished 5th in the fleet. Basile Dion finished 8th and won best under 10 sailor, while 7 year old AurĂšle Dion was recognised as the youngest sailor of the event and delivered a very strong performance that saw him finish 23rd.
Prizes were presented by RStGYC Commodore Richard OâConnor, and Regatta fleet sailors Amelia Chapman, Jacob Browne and Louis Trickett wore their medals for the afternoon as they celebrated their achievements.
