Welcome...
North
Lincolnshire & Humberside Sailing Club 's purpose is to promote
dinghy and windsurf sailing for leisure and racing.
Established in 1953 the club supports dinghy sailing and windsurfing
on an 80 acre inland water close to the Humber Estuary. The club has
excellent facilities and is open all year round with regular
programmes of racing for dinghies and windsurfers. It is family
orientated and offers training to members and non members of all
ages. The members sail a variety of dinghies, the most popular
being, Albacore, Laser 1, Laser 4.7, Mirror, Miracle, RS 200 and
Topper.
We also have a windsurf race series and an active junior windsurf
section.

Winning seems to have
become something of a habit for the Invaders - well done to all who
competed, some fine performances.
RYA Team15
Windsurfing Competition 2009 - round three results
North Lincs Invaders leave the fleet in their wake
The Derwent Devils welcomed the Team15 fleet to Derwent Reservoir
Sailing Club on Sunday 28th June for the third event in the four match
series. This was the first Team15 event ever to be held at the Reservoir
and some members of the fleet had difficulty finding the correct county
never mind the right lake! However, everyone arrived safely, to one of
the windiest sailing clubs in England; on Sunday however, the wind chose
to have an off-day. Despite the light winds, grey skies and drizzle the
competitors had a fantastic weekend, training and racing, thanks to the
hospitality of Derwent Reservoir Sailing Club.
Despite a variety of holiday and exam commitments, 44 youngsters (all
15yrs and under) took part, separated into classes by sail size. As
usual, the biggest fleet was in the 3.5m class with eighteen young
windsurfers all battling to be first. Six members of the newly formed
Derwent Devils took part in this class, ranging in age from eight year
old Charlie Tose, the youngest member of the Team15 fleet, up to
fourteen year old Izzy Bolt and Lottie Philips. The winner of the 3.5m
fleet was eleven year old Oliver Anderson from Pugneys Pirates, winning
four out of the five races. Oliver was chased in every race by Jacob
Newton and Lewis Russell from North Lincs Invaders.
The competition in the larger sail classes was equally well fought,
especially in the 4.5m class, with the North Lincs Invaders scoring a
clean sweep from 1st to 5th place. First and second places in this class
were separated by just one point between 12yr old Charlotte Seal and the
eventual winner, 11yr old Jordan Houran. Max Bushell continued the
winning form for North Lincs by winning the 6.8m class but the Invaders
did not have it all their own way and the crown in the 5.5m class went
to 13yr old Kathryn Durham from Pugneys Pirates.
For the third time in the series the team prize went to North Lincs
Invaders who are now leaving the other North Zone Team15 clubs in their
wake. With one more event left in the four match series the North Zone
2008 Team15 Champions look invincible in 2009.
The next round of the RYA North Zone Team15 championship moves to the
far south of the zone in July, when the competition calls in at Covenham
Reservoir, Lincolnshire on Sunday 12th July.

Torrential rain
wasn’t enough to dampen the enthusiasm of the members of North Lincs
Invaders who descended en mass to the National Junior Windsurfing
championships on 6th and 7th of June.A record of
15 young sailors from the recently awarded RYA Volvo Onboard club
arrived to show what they were made of, for many this was their first
event outside of the T15 environment – a major event.Saturday was a
challenging day with high winds and rain, all competitors showing a
fantastic effort, Harry Davis getting three bullets in the 4.5m class
seemed unbeatable, he was the one to chase, a whole bunch of other North
Lincs sailors were doing the chasing !In the 5.5m class Robert Griffiths
was dominating, more team mates determined to catch him including fellow
zone squad members Ruben Lansley and Lewis May.
Sunday started with heavy rain, thunder and hailstones……….and no wind,
after several postponements the junior fleet finally got three races in
after lunch in light winds, Sarah Labourne , after a great result at
Eric Twiname doing a great job trying to catch Harry recorded two 1sts
and a 2nd. The 5.5s ended with Robert Griffiths in the lead
with Ruben in 4th and Lewis May 6th.
Head coach Simon Seal said “It
was really difficult conditions and many of the sailors had not competed
outside of the T15 arena before. There was a wonderful spirit of
camaraderie over the weekend and I am sure that the experience will
stand them in good stead for the future. I am pleased to have been able
to get so many of our T15 team to attend and am proud of them all in
their achievements in the top half of all the fleets.”

RYA North Zone Squad
(windsurfing) - application for 2009/2010 season
This year (2008/2009 season) six of our young windsurfers were selected
to be a part of the North Zone Squad (Windsurfing) and have attended
high quality training weekends at Barton, Rutland Water, Clowbridge (nr
Burnley), Carsington, Weymouth (three day residential training camp),
Rutland Water (Eric Twinane Zone Squad Championships) and Pittsford.
There was a land based day at Leeds prior to the training commencing.
The North & West Zones train together and total 24 young windsurfers. As
you can see, there is a great deal of commitment required by applicants
(windsurfer) and parents/guardians in attending these training events.
There is also an expectation that the applicant will attend UKWA race
events - attending these events gives a great deal of experience to all
competitors, they make new friends from all around the UK and they have
a lot of fun too.
When attending a training weekend the programme usually consists
[dependent upon the weather] of:
* Warm-up exercises
* Theory
* Group work on the water
* Races
If you would like further information follow the
link or
ask any of the coaches at the club who will point you in the right
direction. (the windsurfing information is to the bottom of the
web-page)
The selection events for the 2009/2010 season take place on:
* 26/27 September 2009 at Draycote Water
* 17/18 October 2009 - venue to be announced (fee to enter)

JUNIOR FEDERATION RACING
SERIES 1 18 APRIL 2009
Over the last year, Eric Robinson, Glenn Davis and Stuart Ward have been
developing junior sailors within the club. With the help of Andy
McGovern of the RYA a core group of young sailors has developed.
As a natural development a Junior Federation Race Series has been
established involving our club, North Hykeham, Humber Mouth and Covenham.
Our club hosted the first of the race series on Saturday 18 April 2009.
Despite no one attending from Humber Mouth or Covenham 20 young sailors
took to the water in Toppers and Laser Radials. The day was kicked off
with Will Hackney giving a boat tuning talk together with modern
thinking on sail settings for Toppers. Jim Hackney acted as race officer
and gave the pre race briefing. Bert and Roy had the unenviable task of
collating the finishing times.
First race took place in a nice 12knt gusting 15knt breeze. Will Hackney
established a very early lead. Throughout the fleet, there was an
exciting battle between Dan Sallis (North Hykeham), Charlie Ward (NLSC)
and Juliet Lennon with regular changes of position throughout the race.
Juliette Lennon was a revelation; sailing exceptionally well.
Lunch was served by Veronica and her team with beef burgers donated by
McDonalds.
Second race took place in slightly windier conditions and again saw Will
Hackney and the two radials take the lead. The racing behind them was
close between Dan Sallis, Charlie Ward and Juliet Lennon. Charlie Ward
lead Dan Sallis and Juliet but capsized on his last tack to the finish
line and was overtaken by Dan Sallis.
The third race was again dominated by Will Hackney but the excitement
was in the middle part of the fleet. Juliet again put in a good
performance but was pursued this time by her brother Jack together with
Jed & Harry Davis.
NLHSC dominated the top positions in all age groups, lets hope we can
keep this up.
All in all an excellent start to the series, special thanks to Jim
Hackney (start boat) Glenn Davis (rescue boat) Roy & Bert and Veronica
Robinson and her team.

I am very pleased to say that attendance at the dinghy Junior Race Club
last night was 18 young people. we now have 22 registered members.
Whilst this is great, it also means that at these numbers, we are at the
limit of our resources - boats and qualified supervision, and as a
result will have to cap membership/attendance for now.

See you there.
Here is the final
update by George from Largs RYA Youth National Windsurf Championships.
This was a key event for me this season as it is an indicator for the
ISAF Youth Worlds, National Youth Squad and the Worlds in Turkey in
July. The racing was planned to last 5 days, but unfortunately the
strong eastly winds meant racing could only take place on the first two
days.
Day one started with two races with winds from 6- 12 knts and 10-14. I
posted a 3rd and a 1st, which was an excellent start to the week. Day
two saw 3 races run, with similar gusty conditions, in which I placed
two 2nd's and a 1st. This brought me on equal points but in first place.
On Wednesday Princess
Royal came to visit the event. She also had a quick chat with some us
and wanted to know where I came from and how long I had been sailing
etc.
The rest of the week conditions were unsailable and so the results
stood, and I won the Youth Championship. Unfortunately, the results were
deemed too close to be the selector event for the ISAF Worlds, where
only one boy and one girl compete for Team GB, so past results were
taken into consideration.
This meant that Ali Masters, on joint points, was selected to go to the
ISAFs in Brazil. Overall I am very pleased with this fantastic result.
Not many people get to win the YouthChampionships, and I am looking
forward to the next ranking event at Weymouth. I will also be training
hard for the Youth Worlds in Turkey.
We are delighted to have received news from the RYA that we are to be
awarded RYA Volvo Champion Club full status.
The presentation will be on the 31 May,
when we will be holding a N Zone inter club T15 windsurfing competition.
The Volvo RYA Champion Club Programme
recognises those sailing clubs with a commitment to youth sailing and
race coaching. It aims to encourage young sailors and windsurfers at
grass roots level, to stay in the sport and learn to compete. There
were a number of criteria the club had to achieve to gain this mark of
quality assurance.
