Push the Boat Out @ Derwent ReservoirSaturday 21st July 2012
To help inspire our future Olympic athletes and support our
Olympic sailors andcelebrate their past successes the RYA are
planning a series of events around thecountry on the week before
the London 2012 Olympics begin. At DerwentReservoir we are proud to
be taking part in these events and are planning a day toremember.
Wed like to see every sailor and windsurfer from the clubafloat on
Saturday 21st July. It doesnt matter if youve never
competitivelysailed, or if youve maybe not yet had the boat or
board on the water this season,the more craft and people on the
water the more spectacular the day will be.
12:00 Start of 12 hour sail in aid of Sail4CancerWith the theme
of2012 what better way to celebrate the challenge of
reachingOlympic standard sailing than by getting teams of boats
sailing continuously for 12hours? We think the answer is obvious do
it for charity! And Sail4Cancerseemed the perfect fit. So we are
inviting teams ofup to 12sailors to sail thesame boat continuously
for 12 hours starting at 12 noon and sailing into thedarkness, with
sponsorship being divided between Sail4Cancer and DerwentReservoir
Sailing Club.
If you are interested in taking on the challenge please contact
Calum Polwart
Sailing Secretary ([email protected]). If you cant find others
to share the challengewith you, let Calum know and hell try and
link you up with other like mindedsailors. Entry into the 12 hour
sailing challenge is strictly by prior arrangement to ensurethat we
have sufficient resources available for safety cover during
darkness.
The 12 hour sail is not a race, its a challenge to keep the
boats sailing continuouslyapart from crew changes. There will,
however, be a course to be sailed and therewill be prizes for the
team who complete the largest number of laps and the helm
and crew who individually complete the largest number of
laps.
13:00 Olympic Relay RacesWe thought wed warm up the Olympic
competition by crossing the 4 x 400mOlympic Relay Races with
Sailing! Sailors will need to sail a short course and thenpass a
baton to the next boat in their team. Prize for the first team
round thecourse. We will need all the teams to be made of the same
designs of boat soplease do ask around your fleet and let us know
you want to take part in advance
([email protected]). Open to windsurfing entries too.
