World Police Sailing Championships 2020
Email from Franjo
I have here really hard time. My first event
should start at end of May, but it seems everything will go down, also in June.
Hopefully WPSC is in October, so I really hope issues about that virus will be
solved by then, and regatta could take place.
Best regards, Franjo

03/05/20 NCA GRIFFIN
INVITATIONAL REGATTA
Incorporating the PSUK Offshore championships
Currently planned for Sunday 20th to Friday 25th September, 2020
Important latest re NoR..
From Ian Goodman:
I want to update you on the current thinking for the Griffin Regatta in
September. As you are all very well aware, marinas are currently closed, sports
events cancelled and anything that was due to happen this side of July is not
going ahead. I'm sure like me, many of you are sitting at home adapting to a new
way of working and longing for the days when you were on deck in a force 6 with
the rain lashing down and realizing that was far preferable to being stuck
indoor for weeks on end with the family!
Anyway, it is what it is, so to update you on our thinking for the Regatta.
I have been in discussion with both Fairview and The Island Sailing Club over
the last week. Many regattas are cancelled or postponed including The IDOR
however, with the Griffin regatta still 6 months away we are hoping that we will
be back to some sort of normality by then, whatever that looks like, and we are
still intending to run the regatta at this time. This will of course be subject
to review in a few months time but fingers crossed.
There is however, one important impact of the current COVID 19 situation that is
impacting on the regatta. As you may be aware the Round The Island Race which
was scheduled for late May, has been postponed until 26th September. This is the
biggest event in the ISC calendar and is now scheduled for the Saturday after
our regatta finishes. This has significant impact in a number of ways. ISC
become very busy towards the end of the week in preparation. Fairview have all
their fleet chartered out for this and the Cowes marinas start to fill up with
foreign and non local yachts from mid week onward.
Neither ISC or Fairview have asked us to move our regatta as both are very keen
that we go ahead as planned and in reality all dates in September - October are
now full but after discussions with both and with continued good will to
accommodate everyone's changed circumstance,we have come to a tentative
agreement. Our current thinking is to run the regatta on the original week but
to shorten it by a day. We will still join the boats on Sunday 20th evening as
normal and meet for a social. Monday will no longer be a practice day and there
will be no practice race. We will likely be doing a passage race from
Southampton water to ISC finish line started by Fairview at around mid day.
There will then be a second inshore race starting and finishing at ISC line. All
Monday races will be scoring races. Tues - Wed will likely be 3 races per day.
The regatta dinner and prizes will be on Wednesday evening at ISC. Yachts to be
returned to Fairview by mid day Thursday 24th. The charter costs for the yachts
will be reduced accordingly but the entry fee will likely remain unchanged as
almost all the costs are the same.
None of the above is set in stone and as the situation develops over the next
few months we will continue to review. I have yet to give Fairview the entries
of which we currently have 13 with a few more still to confirm. I know a couple
of crews were doing other things this year but if those plans have changed then
there is still availability. If you have any questions about the regatta then
please get in touch with me. I will give Fairview the entries in a week or so's
time.
Have as good a weekend as you can and let's hope that we get afloat in the not
too distant future.
Stay healthy,
Ian

A message from the Organiser of
the PSUK Dinghy Championships 2020
Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club made the decision yesterday to cancel
all sailing at the club for the foreseeable future. This is clearly a
sensible decision in view of both the Government, Medical and RYA advice and
one that I'm certain was not taken lightly.
In view of this our Committee have decided to cancel the Nationals that we
were hosting in June.
If things improve dramatically we will look at hopefully hosting either it,
or our Open later in the year and will make contact as soon as a decision is
made.
Could you please pass on our best wishes to all our fellow Police family
sailors around the country.
Best regards,
Jim

A message from the PSUK Sailing Secretary:
Dear all,
We continue to try to find a way of making the PSUK Dinghy Nationals more
sustainable and take the burden off the few forces who have hosted the event
over these last few years.
An idea from Avon and Somerset is that we use the Weymouth and Portland
National Sailing Academy. The Academy would organise the sailing and
accommodation and we just turn up and sail / hold our prize giving. The food
also will be arranged.
What are peoples thoughts on this?
Avon and Somerset are kindly hosting this year’s nationals ( details on the
website) we will discuss it in full at the committee meeting at this event.
I am still looking into contacting the Civil Service club event - but have
run out of contacts - anyone help ?
Regards
John Oldham
