DAILY UPDATES should be appearing here.
Information for helpers . Arrival information .
This year the LRYSA will once again be taking a team of young sailors to the NSSA regatta at Bridlington. Based on experience from previous years it should be a brilliant week for all involved.
I will keep updating this page when I can, and during the week itself it's hoped to have daily updates so families can follow at home.
More information can also be found on the NSSA page .
Camping, food and sailing will all be based around the Blythe Park Site which is south of Bridlington. (To see on a map search for YO15 3QL).
Typical Program:
Sunday: Arrive, set up camp, boat prep. Organisation of helpers for the week (anyone who is heading up later in the week but would like to help let me know and I'll put you on the list) . Team and event briefing in the evening. First meal is Sunday evening.
Monday: Up for breakfast then down to the boats to get rigged and ready for the first race.
Typically 2 or 3 races, with 10 total over the week. Activities and team debrief in the evening.
Tueday: 3 races.
Wednesday: Special race day, no points races. Instead there are the Mount Haes Trophy (in Topper Xenons), Single handers race (Toppers) and All comers race. All entries to these will be allocated by team managers.
Thursday: As Tuesday.
Friday: Final races to make total to 10, usually 2 if weather has been kind. Packing up, presentation in the evening and disco.
Saturday: Breakfast then heading home.
Evening Events: Jim Soltanstall (NSSA president and Racing Coach) will be doing racing masterclasses based on the days sailing. These have always been excellent in the past.
Social activities are being organised by the host team, including sports, a boat trip on Wednesday and disco on Friday.
The NSSA week is a great opportunity to gain some sea sailing experience whilst looked after by the safety crews of the hosts and other teams. The week is quite intense, especially if its hot or very windy so will improve sailing skills but also be pretty tiring!
Hope you're all looking forward to it as much as I am.

LRYSA Team Manager
