Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club

Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club is a historic Sailing Club located close to the heart of York.

The Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club was founded in 1938 and has a picturesque club house on the site of a former ferry. The club is affiliated to the RYA and runs regular training days during the summer. The instructor team can teach and issue RYA Dinghy Level 1 and 2 in addition to Powerboat Level 2 and Safetyboat training. YOSC has regular sailing activities on a Wednesday evening and during weekends – there are a number of club events and the club is also host to a number of regional class events. Members of the club generally sail Enterprise, Streaker, other styles are welcome. The sailing takes place on the River Ouse and the challenging wind conditions this creates makes for interesting sailing. Skill is needed to win a race here as the wind and current both need to be mastered. The club also has an active Social Scene with a number of Social events organized during the year to complement the Sailing. If you are interested in Sailing dingies, have sailed larger boats and wish to improve your wind skills or simply want to learn a new skill, you will receive a warm welcome at YOSC.

We have the Acaster/Fulford/Saynor trophies race on the calendar for tomorrow. Met office only has the wind at 3 knots at 11:00 although it should increase as the day goes on.

We have a weekend off from club events this week.
October 4th sees the Acaster/Fulford/Saynor Trophies race. This is a tier 2 race so will have safety boat cover for those with less experience, but it is a long race - as far as we can get towards York and back.

We have a Junior League/beginners event running today, just turn up between 10:30 and 15:30 to get on the water.
A few more updates due as I haven’t been around.
We had the York Sailing Club join us for the annual regatta on 6th September and had a very nice write up on there website.
The following weekend we ran a training session, so welcome to Rowan, Annabelle, Sam, Sven, Mark and Chris who all passed Level 1 / Stage 2. The wind wasn't on their side but we managed to get them through it.

We have an expedition on Sunday, hopefully everyone has seen the messages and returned the form if needing boats. Current forecast has very little wind so keep a look out for updates.
Last week we managed to dunk a number of juniors in the river, but they all seemed to enjoy the challenge. We have a number who are getting good at dry capsize as well and Darren plans to have a board to record these soon!

We had eight people down for training this weekend, so it is congratulations to our youngest Connie accompanied by her sister Rosa, Eiladh, siblings Ben and Elizabeth, mother and daughter Helene and Elora, and James. We hope to see you all again soon. We have a junior league/beginners day next Sunday and hopefully an expedition the week after.

It’s good weather and wind for the Summer Barbecue and Topper Regatta on Sunday as well, although a little cloudy. Please make sure you have returned your form if you are eating with us.
