We are hosting this prestigious event on Saturday and Sunday of the August weekend. It was great to have a total of 35 entries.
With a forecast of next to no wind on Sunday, the OD forewarned sailors that he would try to get four races in on Saturday.… Read full article “Flying Fifteen Northern Championships 23-24 August 2014”
The Night Jar series resumed on a wet and windy day which was enough to put anyone off sailing. But, as the Webmaster often says, Bass has its own micro-climate and it was down to a force 3 westerly and almost sunny by the race start.… Read full article “Night Jar 14”
With the darker nights creeping in, a reminder that the Night Jar start times have moved forward to 7pm. This isn’t so that AJ can finish earlier and prepare the evening meal as, this week, Neil will be cooking a curry to warm you all up.
Well done and congratulations to Bass members that attended the GP Worlds in Strangford Lough
14th – Dave/Lynn Lawson
16th – Adam Parry/Phil Hodgkins

Following high winds and a prolonged squall in Strangford Lough, where the GP14 Worlds are being held this week, a major incident was declared when approx 50 boats capsized and the rescue facilities were inundated.
We are pleased to advise that all Bass members who are taking part in the event are safe and well.

The OD, Jonathan Anson, decided there was no need to move the Committee Boat from its mooring and set a line with a beat to 8 followed by a broad reach to A another reach to 1 and a tight reach back to 0 which was moved close to the flying fifteen moorings.… Read full article “Glorious Evening for a Sail”
Well, stormy Saturday was the forecast, lightning, torrential rain. What did we get? Overcast, with bright spells and a few showers passing through, oh and no wind! Well the wind did fill in about 3.30, just after most of the select group of sailors that did turn up (not being put off by the forecast) decided they wouldn’t wait for wind any longer (or were they just in the mood for an ice cream?)… Read full article “Stormy Saturday”
