Road Closure

If you are planning to come to the Club on Sunday for the 1st Chiller Races, please note that there are road works in the centre of Chipstead Village, on the 3 way junction of Chevening Road, High Street and Homedean Road scheduled to last until next Monday. The road is closed at this point, so to get to the Club on Sunday you will need to come down Chevening Road from the North (past the school) and turn left at the Bricklayers Arms.

Working Parties

TO ALL CLUB MEMBERS

I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to all the Sailing Club members who came down on Sundays over the past six weeks and helped to get the Club shipshape for the forthcoming sailing season.

A great deal was achieved during these working parties as is partly illustrated in the pictures already on the Club website. Apart from the routine annual jobs, such as weeding, painting, and cleaning, we succeeded in completing two large projects.

Firstly the new Disability Parking Bays were created and surfaced ready for use with new signage on the area between the car park entrance barriers.

Secondly the repairs to the two concrete slipways have been completed with the installation of a base for the second winch. As is shown in the photographs (click here), this proved to be quite a lengthy and complex task and should now ensure that getting heavier boats and patrol craft up and down these slipways is more efficient.

Thank you all for your contributions without which the Club could not function.

May I wish you Happy Sailing in 2020.

Unicorn Trophy Report

Chipstead IOM Unicorn Trophy Open Meeting & Met & Southern IOM Round 19th February 2020

Sunday dawned damp and very windy as Storm Ciara swept through the UK with severe weather warnings in place for the south east of England. Four brave souls arrived at Chipstead to contest the Chipstead IOM Unicorn Trophy and the first round of the 2020 Met & Southern Championship. Trevor Binks and Colin Hatton from Eastbourne joined Chipstead members, Vernon Appleton and Barrie Martin. They were clearly outnumbered by the nine Chipstead race crew who turned out to manage the event. Days with a good rig 3 breeze are quite infrequent, but Storm Ciara was offering just a little on the top.
