Reflections on sailing 24 hrs for charity

One month on from sailing the 53rd West Lancs YC 24 Hour Race on their own and two brothers from The Chase Sailing Club have raised over £1,700 for charity. Eden and Josh Hyland are more usually seen racing single handed in Blazes but pooled their efforts for this years’ event to raise money for a […]

Chase Midland Bell Open Report

The competition at the Chase SC always attracts a strong entry with this year the same as 20 boats ignored the rubbish mid-week forecast to turn up for the second round of the GP14 Midland Bell on 07 April. On the day the breeze was a fairly decent F3 and cloudy as we set off […]

Worlds sweepstake winner!

And the results of the Worlds sweepstake are in, congrats to winner Tom Storey. You had to guess the people and position to get a point. Tom was the only entrant to guess two correct places in the top 10 – They were Shane and Taxi in 4th, and Matt and Simon in 6th. Not one person […]

2018 Gul GP14 World Championship – Day 2

2018 Gul GP14 World Championship

The lack of sailing during Sunday for Day 1 of the Gul 2018 GP14 World Championship obviously whetted the appetite for competition as 80 turned out for the quiz which, remarkably, was won by team Chase & Tynemouth. Day 2 (Monday) looked like it was going to involve a battle of wits with the water […]

Gul 2018 GP14 World Championships – Day 1

After a six-week heat wave it was fitting that the start of the school holidays, and the start of the Gul 2018 GP14 World Championship, should start with ripping squalls and rain showers. Regardless of the weather there was a good buzz in the club house as we registered. With 35 sponsors it took quite […]

Racing cancelled for Day 1 of the Worlds

Racing cancelled for today (Sunday) as we can’t get the RIBs over from the Mount. At the moment the plan is to try and sail 3 tomorrow with an earlier start. #gp14worlds

Chase GP14 Training

At times it is easier to knit fog than organise the GP14 fleet at Chase so knowing I like a challenge I was set the task of organising some training for the Worlds. With a planned on the water start of 9.30am (and some slow coaches instructed to arrive at 8.30am, and apparently in fancy dress) […]

GP14 Worlds – Runners and Riders

With a Gold Fleet entry currently standing at 56 out of the 130 boats the competition at this year’s Worlds will be tough. So tough in fact that there will be a ‘Platinum Fleet’ introduced mid-week where the top 15 at that point in time will be rewarded by being moved into the new elite […]
