We share the 6 mile lake with the Clywedog fishing club and the Staylittle Outdoor Pursuits Centre which provides professionally qualified training for those new to sailing. We encourage members to make use of their training, but members are always happy to help newcomers
We are a family orientated club with a keen racing fleet and also many
leisure sailors with organised racing on Sundays. Events in the last year
have included the traditional Regattas and racing, as well as the Nationals of the Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association (CVRDA) and the Old Gaffers Association (OGA), and a Youth Day organised by Cadet members and members children. We especially support the RNLI with an annual RNLI day

24/24TH AUGUST
REPORT
Clywedog SC were
pleased to hold their 1st FF open over the August Bank Holiday.
Clywedog ff members turned out in force with nine boats ( 4 classics and 5
silver fleet) coming to the line over the two days with one visitor from
Notts County.
Race Officer David
Rollinson set some exciting courses in the fresh SW breeze for the two Sat
races with the the “Fat Boys” Paul and Paul in ff2127 coming through to the
front in each race. Keith Rollinson and Rodney Townsend in ff 1855 got two
great starts and led at the first couple of marks but were lacking boat
speed and slipped back a little.
Sunday dawned with a
good stong breeze and our race Officer David Rollinson set a challenging
courses using most of Clywedogs racing buoys. Paul and Paul; dominated
again winning all three races by a quite large margin even before there
Classic handicap was calculated.
The competition was
very keen down the fleet with all the boats finishing on the same leg and
lots of position changes. The visitors Nick Lyncit crewed by Silka Roscher
in ff 3297 began to get to grips with the famed Clywedog shifts and finshed
the last two races in 2nd place despite strong opposition.
The final results
were :
1st Paul
Watson crewed by Paul Morris ff 2125 3pts Clywedog 1st

Following on from last
years successful launch the club will be re-commencing on Sat Apl 5th
registration and introduction from 10.30 prompt. Fees remain unchanged at
£5.00 per day for members and £7.50 non-members.
There will be a change to the days on which we will run the club they
will be on the 1st Sat and 3rd Sunday of each month.
Please check on the calendar on the Notice board for any changes, I have
copied the full Club programme on the reverse.
I do need some volunteers to help with the novice section as we wish to
improve on the skills of the more experienced youngsters with some dedicated
race training etc. Also any help in launching,recovery, putting kit together
will be much appreciated.
Many thanks to Mick Edwards who has re-furbished the Force 5 (laser type)
dinghy over the winter and that will be available for selected members to go
out for a blast.
I look forward to seeing you all again this year.
Good sailing
Keith and the team at Clywedog.

Commodore's Letter
Dear Members
Thank you for your votes at the AGM, and extremely warm
thanks to the members who have taken on the tasks of organising and running
the Club - these are the people who make it all happen so successfully.
Mainly for the benefit of prospective members I would
like to emphasise that the reason the club is successful and still able to
charge minimal fees, is because most of the work is carried out by the
members themselves.
The work is organised in the following way:
In addition to the posts of Secretary, Treasurer, Sailing
Sec., and Membership Sec., members of your committee volunteer to take
responsibility for a maintenance or management task for the year. eg.
Clubhouse, grounds, moorings, social activities, club boats and engines,
jetties, fuel supplies, catering at Club events, etc. These brave souls
then, from time to time, recruit a team of members to assist in carrying out
the work. Everyone is expected to muck in - if your particular expertise is
not required, there is always grass cutting, cleaning, tidying or serving in
the galley to be done!
Each Sunday and other racing days the Club provides a
safety boat which requires a trained crew of two, also an Officer of the Day
to start and record race results, and manage the Safety boat and crew.
Members share these duties according to a rota, and new members are
encouraged to take the training courses at Clywedog to become competent.
This may seem a bit onerous, but as the Club membership
is over one hundred, including many family memberships, if we all show
willing the work will be spread very thinly.
Approximately five social events are held each year when
catering and entertainment need to be organised, this would normally be done
by a Social Secretary but the position is currently unoccupied, so if anyone
- or possibly two or three members - would like to become involved they
would be assured of much encouragement. Please contact brian@bosborne0.orangehome.co.uk
The sailing season begins soon, but at time of writing I
haven't begun fitting out - and all the intentions of rigging the new
spinnaker and painting the hull are going the way of New Year resolutions!
Let's hope we are going to enjoy an early spring. I look forward to seeing
crowds of sails on the lake and wish everyone a great time.
See you at the working weekend (March 9/10th)
Best wishes.
Brian Osborne. Commodore.
From your new Honorary Secretary
Hello! I am this year’s Honorary and Minutes Secretary,
following on from Julia, who has been marvellously helpful and kind, showing
me what to do and how to do it.
There are many stalwarts at the Club, some on course to
become legends, who put their all into whatever they do; I haven’t been much
of a joiner in my previous life, outside work, but having got to know the
Club over the past few years I thought: new season, new Commodore Brian, why
not take the plunge myself and try to be useful. Because this is such a
Marvellous Club, nothing like the stereotyped sailing club I had envisaged
(peaked caps and reefer jackets), more a cross-section of excellent people
whose interest here is mainly sailing but who also get together to make life
(their own, and others’) at the Club happy and positive.
I was not even a sailing-type-of-person, but I actually
took a course last year, using an Access Boat, and thanks to Keith I have an
RYA certificate now. A gift of money on my birthday went straight on a
canoe, followed only a week later by another; no-one was more surprised than
me. My stepson has had a brilliant time both just messing about on boats
with friends but also learning and finding confidence with the Cadets, again
thanks to Keith, who made it all structured fun – OK, shouting when
necessary, but quite quietly really. I think everybody was surprised
at how the Cadets flourished, starting out with about 15 on the very first
day, and just growing from there, even though the weather for the first 5 or
so gatherings was awful. And though capsizing clearly remained high on each
cadet’s private agenda, in fact the Champion Capsizer and several others
also became enthusiastic and skilful participants in junior and even adult
races.
My own particular enjoyment here is in meeting some great
people
and in the beauty of the place – at 66 I returned to the
camping of my
childhood, and have had some magical experiences –
lugging myself in early dawn to the clubhouse, looking out as the little
coils of vapour were rising off the lake and a few dots of wild-fowl
chugging across it, fumbling with the combination lock in panic, desperate
for the toilet, and then sitting in the clubhouse with my coffee to see - an
osprey sitting on a mast 60 yards away; leaving the clubhouse into
the dark, warm, slightly drizzling summer night, shining my torch down to
see toads sitting like chess pieces on the squares of paving-stones.
The Events Weekends are wonderful. There are races
(keenly competed), great meals, friendship, quite a bit of silliness and
also much music and dancing. Those who were there will have a vivid and
happy memory of Marlene, along with Ann, Lil and Tracie, at the Old Gaffers’
cabaret , all made-up and dolled-up, the very gorgeous Adenoid Sisters.
These events take a lot of dedicated organization, and near- exhausting work
on the day, so if asked to help out, please do if you possibly can,
because we’re all in it together.
(Sadly Marlene succumbed to a massive heart attack a few
weeks ago – we shall miss her, and have sent our condolences to Mike,
together with flowers which Ken took on our behalf to her funeral in
Swansea),
NB
: The
pre-season dinner is on Saturday March 15th (1900hrs for 1930)
at the Red Lion Hotel in Llanidloes -
menu and booking form enclosed with this Newsletter. The maximum seating is
36, they do a good meal, so apply now if you want to come: late might be too
late.
Here’s wishing everybody a great year at the Club, and
Brian the very best of success as Commodore.

Membership Secretary’s Comments and
Information
May I wish you a happy, exciting, informative and most
enjoyable New Year, especially on the sailing scene.
Together with this Club Newsletter you will receive a
Membership Renewal Form, and I hope that everyone who joined Clywedog
Sailing Club last year enjoyed it enough to make you want to continue your
association with the Club.
Here are a few points to remember when renewing – or if
you are applying for membership for the first time, to take note of:
1) For members renewing, Subscriptions are now due,
and must be paid by 31st March at the latest (see
your copy of the Club Constitution – you all have one somewhere!)
2) All subscription and boat registration fees (including
wind-surfers and canoes) must be paid at the rate stated on the form. The £0
rating is for small sailing dinghies (< 10’) and tenders for
keelboats (moored on the water) ONLY – this does not apply to
canoes if left at the club.
3) Proof of third party liability insurance is
essential. The name of the Insurance Company and the Policy Number (we
do not need the actual document!) must be stated on the membership
form at the time of application, if you already have a boat to leave at the
Club, (or at the time of obtaining a boat and wishing to leave it there).
Membership will not be accepted without a) Application form;
b) Correct fees; c) Insurance details. Make sure you apply for the correct
membership status – Associate Membership does not entitle you to use
the water (other than ‘wot comes out of the tap’!)
4) If you are a bit short of cash this soon after
Christmas, remember that you can pay ‘on the drip’, as per instructions on
the form.
5) Very Important: Please fill in the
back of the form to assist with the compilation of the duty roster – duties
are an integral part of membership (see Commodore’s letter as well!). You
need to give dates when you will not be available (eg on holiday,
etc)
I look forward to seeing all those membership applications
cascading through the letterbox, and seeing you on the water in 2008 (not to
mention at the Pre-Season Dinner on March 15th, and at the
Working Party weekend (March 8/9th).
Mick Edwards (Membership Sec) (Flying Fifteen
‘Smokescreen’)
Battle of the Classes, 2008
The tale begins in early November when my weekly scan of
dinghies on Ebay brought up "Pegasus 199" - one owner since 1965, never
raced or rallied, good sails etc. I thought, ‘well I can take my collection
up to three and start my own fleet’ so put in an opening bid and let things
run. Whoops, 1 week later I am organising a trip to Leicester to pick up
said boat. Just lucky Su was away so I could sneak it into barn without
being discovered.
The boat looked fine except that in an attempt at
renovation the decks and inside had been varnished with a trowel and there
were ridges and mountains of varnish everywhere!
A couple of weeks later, while browsing the CVRDA website
forum, a news item that Y & Y were running a "Battle of the Classes" race in
Docklands on Sun Jan 20th on the last day of the Excel Boat Show.
Some comedian suggested that the CVRDA should enter a team, which was
received with enthusiasm but no takers until the same idiot with a Pegasus
(no names!!!) said, "It’s the 50th anniversary of this Uffa Fox
design in 2008 - why don’t we enter two Peggies?"
Big mistake!!!!! Foot in mouth, etc - the guy who bought
David’s old Peggie "Blast from the Past" said he was up for it and as a
result David said he would helm my Peggie 199 if I could get it ready in
time as he would love to race against his old boat.
Panic now set in as I went up to barn and not only was
varnish rather sad but there were no fittings on the boat, the mast was past
it and the good sails were 40yr old terylene originals. I had heard of this
miracle coating called G4 Pond sealer, which cured at minus temperatures and
also loved damp conditions. The only downside was it was December, the barn
was open ended and I had to get the deck down to bare wood first. Three days
before Christmas and I was ready to apply G4; looked at the instructions (a
first for me!!!) and they stipulated that 3-4 coats must be applied with no
more than 2hrs between coats so 9.00 am first coat goes on, back to house to
warm up and then brave the arctic weather for no 2 coat at 12.00, fingers
freezing. Lunch and snooze, then as the light was fading managed a third
coat.
Instructions say leave for 72 hrs before applying varnish
so a worrying wait to see if it had worked, relief all round - it did what
it said on the tin (only I did not intend filling with water from inside
out).
Only time for one coat of varnish and put some fittings
back on, then I thought I had better see if mast of my other Peggie would
fit, yes it did, with a few modifications. Now I needed a rudder and tiller
- again raid the parts bin - and some more sanding and varnishing (in the
office this time with heater on). The plan was to go down to David’s in
Abingdon on Friday and spend Sat putting the rest of the fittings on and
tuning, selecting sails from my collection of rags. Friday dawned but car
would not go so "Bertie", the old Landrover, was loaded up and we stuck to
side roads to Abingdon; it only took four hours at a steady but bouncy
45mph.
David and I were working on the boat till about 8.00pm on
the Sat. We decided on the cut down Peggie sails and an old FF genoa (all
legal and right measurement). A bright and early start to get to docklands
on the Sunday, straight through Central London and into docklands area,
excellent organisation with parking and room for the 60+ entries on the
foreshore. There was an abundance of new boats and sails on show and a lot
of national champions flying the flag for their respective classes but much
interest shown in the two 40+ yr old Peggies and the history of the class.
As the time rolled nearer to launch we observed quite a few dinghies had
ventured out, some capsizing within yards of the shore so we took the
decision to leave the spinnaker in the bag and go for survival. We launched
the boat (to my great relief we didn’t have any leaks), self bailers worked
(very important in a Peggie), controls all seemed to work, mast bend
a little extreme when running but don’t look up and it wont worry us!!!! I
couldn’t even use the trapeze as the wind was gusting 4/5 with 40 degree
shifts coming through the gaps in the buildings and the destroyer moored in
the dock. The first boats were away at 12.00 with our start about 20mins
past and the Thames Rater another 20mins after us.
After the start each lap was a short beat to the windward
mark and then a long dead run (some of the time, I counted 6 gybes on one
lap!!!) to the other end of the docks followed by a beat back (not unlike
going up the narrows at Clywedog), past the spectators and commentary box
(very Formula one) - we did catch snatches floating across on the wind.
After a couple of laps the other Peggie had capsized a few times and retired
as crew and helm were exhausted and cold but we soldiered on and managed to
finish in 38th position out of 60 starters. Quite pleased, as no
breakages, and stayed right way up - though because the toestraps were
connected fore and aft, if I came in David went out so he did get teabagged
a couple of times! With so many different boats on the water you had to be
on your guard all the time as no quarter was given or expected. The
highlight was calling ‘starboard’ on a Laser 5000 in full flow with helm and
crew both out on trapeze and asymmetric kite full, who in veering away got a
little bit wet - they kept out of the way on the next tack though!!!!!!
All in all an experience with some very keen competition
on the pond - though 2hrs on the water in mid Jan not the most enjoyable;
but that’s another event crossed off the list. Memo to myself "do not
volunteer next year".
Boat was packed up by 3.30 giving us an hour or two in
the Boat show before the results were announced on the main stage, we were
surprised that every entry got a mention by name, that’s when we realised we
were in exalted company and we had to go on stage to collect a memento of
the race.
Left docklands about 6.00, took ages to wend our way back
through Central London to Abingdon but certainly slept like a baby before
coming back home on Monday.
Peggie now back in barn as lots of work to do to finish
ready for the season ahead.

Sailing Secretary’s Report
Happy New Year everyone, I knew I should have kept my
head down when Brian was looking for a Sailing Sec but with a little help
from my co-opted assistants (Thanks Rod & Steve) I hope we have come up with
an exciting and refreshing programme for 2008. The old favourites are still
in there :
Early Season Open Day (May 5th)
:
(Organiser: Brian Osborne):
We will hopefully have the Access dinghy people up over
the whole weekend demonstrating boats and handling kit (for disabled
sailors).
Old Gaffers Weekends: Two visits again: 17/18th
May and 16/17th Aug
CVRDA and Social Weekend (24/25thMay):
(Organiser: Keith R):
A new date as the Nationals will be on Southampton Water
this year. Our normal programme will be held on the Bank Holiday Monday
Regatta/Social (21st/22nd June):
(Organiser: Steve Gamman):
We hope to see Telford sailing Club visit us for this
one. I believe Steve has a wicked idea for the Social evening, be sure not
to miss this one!!!!
RNLI Open Day (3rd Aug): ( Organiser: Rod
Townsend):
Same format as last year with RNLI volunteers catering
and stalls as well also a raffle on the day
Flying Fifteen Open (23rd/24th/25th
Aug; Bank Holiday): (Organiser: Keith R Race Officer: David Rollinson):
We are very pleased to have secured this fixture as we
now have at least 12 fifteens on the dinghy park with some very keen racing
forecast this year according to my moles!!!!!. Late date gives us
‘fifteeners’ a chance to visit some other clubs during the season to drum up
interest in our inaugural meeting, - checkout the ff website and also
please join the ff Association if you have not done so already.
Cruiser Activities
Bill Steed has scheduled a Cruiser Programme to run on
the 1st Sat of each month, see the Notice Board for more details
(some very interesting ideas!!!!)
Clywedog Cadets
Following on from last years successful launch this will
be continued on the 1st Sat and 3rd Sunday of each
month starting on April 5th. I do need some volunteers to take on
the novice section, as we want to improve on the skills of the more
experienced youngsters with some dedicated race training etc. Mick Edwards
has re-furbished the Force 5 (laser-type) dinghy over the winter and that
will be available for selected members. Many thanks Mick it looks great and
I am looking forward to a blast in it myself. We also hope to have some
trapeze/spinnaker boats available( My Peggie fleet). Note : The
Regatta in June is on one of the Cadets scheduled days so Cadets move to 4th
Sun not 3rd
Club Racing Programme.
We have done some fine tuning to the racing calendar but
essentially we are sticking to the tried and tested formula. The main change
is that the qualifying races for the Junior, Class,Novice, Single Handed and
Ladies will be the 3rd/last race of the day to simplify the
calculations at the end of the season. My spies tell me that we may see the
Access boats racing this year as well, which will be great to see.
Please note: the race start times will be adhered to
this year as it is not fair on those who arrive on time to make them wait.
Rescue/Officer Duties
As soon as the memberships start coming my way I will be
arranging the duty roster. This year you will receive a letter/email with
the dates of your duty (please fill in dates you cannot do on
reverse of Membership renewal), along with others in the same two monthly
period so you can arrange a swap if needed. There will be a co-ordinator for
each period who will remind or offer help/advice with your duty if
necessary. Details will also be posted on the Notice Board. The main thing
is to turn up in plenty of time so as to get organized. I suggest at least
before 10.15am.
Please don’t be alarmed, as the duty can be a really
enjoyable day and we have a very good manual (in the OD’s Box). If you need
more info on the procedure, ask me, or any of the Flag Officers.
Disabled Days
I hope to be running these again this year. We welcome
anyone with mobility problems to come and try sailing in the company of
like-minded people with the security of qualified instructors and rescue
facilities. We can provide waterproofs, buoyancy aids and of course the
boats to sail in. If you are interested please contact me by email or phone
(see end of this article).
Training
Elsewhere with this newsletter are the details of the
courses being run by SOC this year, please book early to avoid
disappointment. We will also be scheduling some Safety Boat training and if
enough interest we can do OOD training as well which will be free or very
small cost, let me know if interested or keep an eye on the Notice Board.
Well I still have 3 boats (not even looking on E-bay!) to
fettle before the beginning of the season so that’s all from me. Hope to see
you all on the water soon.
Any questions please contact me: Rollinsonkeith@yahoo.co.uk.
Tel 01686 640305 or I will be around at the club most weekends and also some
weekdays.
Keith R
Ffrolics with Ffanola
I expect every one knows that I exchanged my Laser for a
Flying Fifteen last year – well, here are some of our exploits together
during the past year. They are not in chronological order as I have been
very remiss in not keeping a log this past season.
There we were at the start line with the starting hooter
sounding the ‘go’ when the wind dropped and we all sedately sailed over the
line apart from one boat, which stormed into the lead. We watched in
amazement as Paul Morris was working in the boat with Paul Watson urging him
on, and thought they must have some mechanical contraption to give them that
speed while the rest of us would have been quicker paddling (complaint to
the OD like they do in Formula 1 perhaps?). I was too engrossed in what was
going on, and a shout of " STARBOARD" rang out - as I was the give way boat
I tried to tack but was unable to complete the manoeuvre due to lack of
speed, but a good shove from John and Bob got me round. Not a good race for
the majority, as no one could get near the two Pauls.
Another day, another start - going well. Noticed another
Flying Fifteen on port side that should pass about a length in front of me,
but what I didn't see was that Brian in his Wayfarer was on the FF's stern
quarter! Some club members think that Brian's boat is an aircraft carrier –
well, you guessed it, I tried to land on it. Two lots of paintwork need
touching up now!
On one start in one race I did so well I nearly got to
the first marker before Mick - then the rot set in. At the rear of the fleet
going to No.5 buoy I managed to tip the boom in the water and caught a
couple of trout on the outhaul (if you believe that you will believe
anything!) I was told that the helm was always in charge of the craft -
No way! That boat would not gybe round the buoy, in the
end I fooled it, tacked instead, lost a lot of time and unable to catch up,
came in so far behind I was nearly first for the next race. Gave up on my
own, went and crewed for Keith.
On ‘Final Fling’ weekend Julia came out to race with me –
it was lovely racing weather and we had more boats out than usual. J isn’t
very used to racing conditions, and there were several occasions when her
shrieks of "Stop it! Stop it! I don’t like it!" could probably be heard from
both ends of the lake – I don’t know what people thought we were doing! But
we did finish the race (unlike the previous time), and she said she really
enjoyed it! She’s thinking of trying to race an Access boat – watch out,
Ellen McArthur!!
At the moment the boat is undergoing paint and refurbish
job with the hope that I will get it together before the start of the season
and be up among the leaders in the racing, well hope springs eternal. My No
1 daughter, Helen, suggested that I paint ‘go faster’ stripes on the hull I
think that is tempting providence, who knows the new paint may slide through
the water like a dream, that is, if it dries after all the rain we have had.
I enjoyed Geoff's article on Cruiser racing in the Autumn
Newsletter and hope that these incidents show that Dinghy racing has its
lighter moments too.

Disability Sailing
This season has seen a new
innovation for CSC. Following a successful bid by MS Montgomeryshire, we
were awarded funds to enable those with a disability to experience the
freedom of sailing. The idea coming into fruition would not have been
possible without the Access boats – Many thanks to Staylittle for this and
their support. It also would not have been possible without the Sailing
Club extending a constant welcome throughout the summer. Keith and other
members have been consistent in their help and encouragement to us all who
took part. The Club facilities too, for the less able, made our summer
sailing the success it has been.
We cannot thank you all too much.
The sense of freedom out on the water and the knowledge that we can enjoy
sailing, as everyone else, is such a positive achievement for us. It hasn’t
just been those with MS who have experienced sailing, those with other
disabilities have been able to join us. I cannot put into words the sense
of achievement we all have felt. Just to illustrate this, one of our MS
members has been scared of water for years ( in fact when her husband won a
cruise in a competition and he had to give it away because she would not go
on the water in a very big boat!!) It has taken all summer to persuade this
member to come and try sailing – the first time out she was terrified – but
come the afternoon Keith took her out again and she lost her fear and
enjoyed every minute of sailing and wants to continue!! We all hoped the
disability sailing would work and it did so positively.
Also we entered an MS National
competition for an innovation award. We didn’t reach the final three, but
we did come very close out of over 300 branches, reaching the last 6!
We have been congratulated by MS
National who have awarded us a certificate and a logo to put on our letter
headings and congratulated by MS Cymru/Wales Chairman and council. In fact
there is an idea, from MS Cymru/Wales for Keith to speak to other sailing
Clubs in Wales about disability sailing enabling more people with
disabilities to sail. This is only a germ of an idea at the moment, but we
have been asked to highlight this year's success on the CSC web site, by MS
Cymru/Wales
We are definitely applying for
another grant this winter – so please keep your fingers crossed for us –
and THANK YOU all again - you made it possible.
Su Rollinson
The CVRDA Nationals held over the August Bank
Holiday was
enjoyed by all, we ended up with an entry list of 30 Plus boats and many
supporters, family etc to swell the numbers.
The Overall winner yet again was David
Rollinson in his new boat for the CVRDA this year an OK. In 2nd place
were Roger Deveraux and Chris Mulholland sailing their Hornet and third
place went to Helen Rollinson and Sam Tozer sailing a Pegasus.
