The ‘Devilishly Difficult Quiz’ is going down well at the Club😎

09/09/2018

Well I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m shattered!!!!

Thank you all the volunteers from Oxford SC who made the event such a success, from the PROs and their Race Teams, the Safety Boat Crews, Hacketts Harbour, the Results Team, the Pirate Parents that ran registration and of course the Pirates for their Stirling work on the beach.😎

Just as much as this, I’d like to thank everyone who came to the event - without you turning up in numbers it wouldn’t be worth organising regattas like this👍🏽.

Further thanks needs to go to our numerous Sponsors who helped ensure that everyone took a prize home - all well deserved after an epic day’s racing today;

Same again next year?

Boats (both little and large) have started arriving at Farmoor👍🏽😎

Weather is ‘glamour’ right now, and predicted to move in to ‘champagne’ territory later👍🏽

It’s nearly time!!!! With the forecast looking good for 10kts+ all weekend, here’s some pumping information for those so inclined .....

(Europists have probably already noted that the NoR and SIs have been written to the International Europe Class Union rules, allowing free pumping👍🏽😎

Simulating sail forces when free pumping in the Olympic Finn-dinghy. Note: Tripling the sail force does not mean tripling the boat speed. All the simulations...
