Winter Work Parties
It's that time of year again! Dates for your diary: 5th November. Clear leaves. Tidy site. 26th November. Sand and infill on foreshore. 17th December. Some boats out. 7th January. All boats out. 28th January Preserve woodwork 25th February. Boats in. Spring Clean Laser Sailors Selected for World and European Championships Congratulations to the following sailors who, having performed superbly at qualifying events through the Spring, have been selected to represent GBR this Summer: Stephanie Harding - 4.7 World Championships in San Francisco, USA Megan O’Brien - 4.7 European Championships in Workrum, Netherlands Hugh Brayshaw - Radial World Youth Championships in La Rochelle, France We wish them well. Training Update and 12hr Race A great start in May to the training calendar with the first On-Board session being completed. A warm welcome to the new members that have signed up with their children. We think a fun time was had by all! Then Back on the Water for the adults. A course that has been over-subscribed. Now we are half way through we have had the complete extremes of conditions at Hollowell from no wind to white horses. But the confidence grows each week, and those that sailed last week should be able to sail in just about anything. Hopefully next week (no BoW this week) steady conditions will allow a little for finesse, rather than brute force. The adult Level 1/ 2 course, again full, saw some interesting weather! So much so that we need to complete the course this coming weekend. And to cap it all we passed our RYA inspection with flying colours. The 12hr race while not exactly part of the ‘training’ programme provided fun and entertainment for all. Hopefully nearly everyone got to sail, either in the challenging winds of the day, or darkness of the night. Yes it was a moonless night for all those that weren’t there to see it! It did however make the glow sticks and lights stand out. Some photos were taken during the daylight hours, and hopefully you will be able to see them by clicking on this link. https://picasaweb.google.com/117268539954992412125/20110529?authkey=Gv1sRgCNjWzOKrgZ-T4AE&feat=directlink But what of the JUNE PROGRAMME. On-Board 2 – starting 7th June for 4 weeks on Tuesdays In order to allow more training for our New members’ children we have an additional instructor on the course, so we now have 5 more places. Anyone wishing their child to join this Stage 1 course should contact principal@hollowellsc.org.uk on a first come first served basis. Cost £30 for the 4 sessions. Back on the Water 2. By popular demand then we will run a BoW 2 for those that did not get onto the BoW 1 course. BoW 2 will run for just 4 weeks on Thursdays starting 9th June. Places limited to 6. Cost £20. (Places will be allocated firstly to those that unfortunately had to be refused on BoW1…if in doubt contact Alison (alison.linnell@yahoo.co.uk) ) Adult Level 1 and 2. June course is now fully booked…but places still available for July. Again contact Alison. Team Racing. A fun day for all. Basic intro to Team racing (two teams of three against each other on a very short course), and lots of fun. Just come down and have a go Sun 12th June. Good for learning the Rules!. Junior Start Sailing. 4th/ 5th June. Now fully booked but just a few places still available for the July Dinghy Week (windsurfing element fully booked). Be quick! Contact David Heggs (heggshome@hotmail.com) Powerboat/Safety Boat. Again fully booked I’m afraid…more in the Autumn though. So, looking at June, there appears that there is a course on, of some description, every sailing day! Thanks to all the Instructors, co-ordinators and helpers as usual…without them we would not have such a full programme. See you on the water, Clive 1 June 2011
HOLLOWELL SC SHORTLISTED FOR RYA CLUB OF THE YEAR Hollowell Sailing Club is on tenterhooks after learning it has been shortlisted for the prestigious RYA Club of the Year Award 2010. The award recognises clubs who excel at promoting the sport of sailing, encouraging people on to the water and making their activities varied and accessible to the community, and the winners will be announced at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show in London on Saturday 5 March. A four-strong team from Hollowell SC will join representatives from the four other nominated clubs at the show at Alexandra Palace, where they will discover who will be honoured as Britain’s top sailing club for 2010. Already one of the country’s most established sailing clubs and an RYA Club of the Year finalist in 2009, Hollowell SC has made great strides in creating even more opportunities for local people to get involved in sailing over the past 12 months. As a recognised RYA Training Centre, the club has invested in six new club dinghies, plus a safety boat, so even more people can learn to sail or go racing at the club while more than 100 people attended the club’s Open Day last summer. Through RYA OnBoard, the RYA’s nationwide grassroots sailing and windsurfing scheme, the club has developed links with many local primary and secondary schools and youth groups, including Daventry District Scouts. It also enables people with disabilities to learn to sail and sail regularly through its Sailability section and, through its position as a Volvo RYA Champion Club, Hollowell frequently feeds talented young sailors into the RYA’s World Class racing programme. Two of Hollowell’s top young sailing talents represented Britain at high-profile international events last year. Hugh Brayshaw, with helm Mike Wood, finished a hugely-creditable sixth on their debut at the esteemed Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF Youth World Championship in Istanbul in July, the pair having been crowned RYA Volvo Youth National champions three months earlier. Meanwhile, Arran Holman represented Britain at the Optimist World Championships in Malaysia. Hollowell boasts around 450 members, with the club’s junior training sessions, which attracts some 30 youngsters every other Sunday, and its Junior Race Week amongst its biggest successes. Mike Pipes, Hollowell SC Commodore, said: “People know when they come to Hollowell SC they will be given a really warm welcome and enjoy our activities in a safe environment, whether they’re beginners or experienced sailors. “We’re a close-knit group and everyone appreciates the value of working hard for the good of the club. This year alone we’ve had eight more members qualify as instructors to support our ongoing training activities while the club members also rebuilt a major pontoon.” Gareth Brookes, RYA Regional Development Officer for the Midlands, said: “Hollowell is a very well managed club and extremely open, inviting and friendly. It has a strong team of volunteers who put a huge amount of time and effort into making the club as fun and safe as possible.” Jackie Bennetts, RYA Volunteer Development Officer and awards co-ordinator, said: “The Club of the Year Awards highlight all the good work clubs and their members put into keeping our sport alive. All the finalists are excellent, well-run, vibrant and forward-looking clubs who really excel at what they set out to do.” Mike Pipes will be joined by club secretary and dinghy instructor Clive de la Fuente, dinghy instructor and young club member Natasha de la Fuente and sailing secretary David Holman at the award presentation at Alexandra Palace. This other four nominees are Glossop Sailing Club, Derbyshire, The Sailing and Cruising Association, South Staffordshire Sailing Club, Stafford and Spinnaker Club, Hampshire. Update 25 Jan 2011 Well done Nicola Wilkinson who has obtained a grant of £3,000 from Daventry District Council which has been put towards the new Jeanneau rescue boat and trailers which will be delivered very shortly. Well done Ian Mackay who has qualified as a new powerboat instructor after a particularly challenging course. Work party this Saturday January 29th from 1000 until you drop- usually around 4pm. Lunch will be provided. This is a convivial gathering and a good opportunity to meet other members doing jobs you probably ought to be doing at home These are some of the jobs you can come and help with: fit some (conveyor belt) fendering over the pontoon joins. Overhaul buoy ground tackle Clear leaves from around buildings and on grass areas New mooring lines on pontoons where needed Sort trailers. Move into trees away from grass. Service and Creosote floating boat houses Survey club sailing boats Make good minor deficiencies in club sailing boats Patch roads Check for, and move, abandoned boats Cut hedge Clean curtain rails Spring clean galley equipment Lubricate swings Pressure wash slabs to remove algae. You can bring your own washer if you wish. We have 3 water supplies to attach to. Find leaks in Wayfarer tanks Apply treatment to Gents changing room Benches and coat hook boards Gents Changing rooms The wrinkly work party is part way through redecorating the Gents changing rooms which are showing signs of wear and tear after three years of busy use. The combi boilers in the gents and T Bar have been replumbed to avoid the freeze ups we experienced over Christmas. And finally, Don’t forget to book for the Annual Dinner. This is on Saturday February 12th at 7.30pm but you need to have booked via Nicola Wilkinson by this Friday January 28th Look forward to seeing you there.
Best regards
Mike
Update 19 Jan 2011 Just so you know: This Saturday is the final day of an RYA Powerboat Instructors course in which two of our own members are participating. The previous two days of the course have been disrupted by people banging on doors and windows demanding to be let in or coming in anyway and holding loud conversations whilst the course is in progress. The clubhouse is closed for the winter period except for courses, advertised work parties and pre planned junior rowing. There will also be a First Aid course on Sunday January 30th when peace and quiet would be appreciated. This course is full but if you are an instructor and you believe your first aid qualification has expired please let me know. Out of hours Sailing: Please note the hot water boiler in the Naseby Lodge is still out of action and the water is turned off. There are no hot showers or toilets available there. Free sailing out of hours is available, however, there are no rescue facilities and you are reminded that at least two boats should be on the water to use this facility. Please sign in using the book under the covered area outside the bar as the Coroner may find it useful to know who has gone missing. Last week an RS 400 appeared on the water and turtled after about 100 metres. The Powerboat Instructor course was again disrupted whilst the boat was righted and the sailors fished out. The Instructor course is not looking for people to rescue, they are working to a tight programme to deliver high quality instruction. Best Regards, Mike Update 6 Jan 2011 I am pleased to advise you that the club buildings have survived the cold snap and that the water is now back on again. Gas supplies were down to 5% today but the gas tanker is promised for tomorrow. There is still ice on the water but there is sufficient clear water for the powerboat instructor assessment day this Saturday and I have advised the RYA coach to go ahead with the course. The bay area is well iced up and it would be difficult to launch dinghies at the moment. However, the ice is fairly fluid and moves when you rock the rescue pontoon. Electric gates- OK at the moment but subject to failure. The maintainers have been called and may well have been as they were OK today. If they fail it is usually the gate on the Guilsborough side which remains closed. Car access OK through one gate, but a problem for large vehicles Saturday Work party: This can go ahead. Items to do include creosote log cabin and pontoon walkways Clear fallen branches from grass Move abandoned boats Spring clean galley equipment Best Regards Mike
Update 29 Dec 2010
The reservoir remains iced over so sailing
is cancelled for the time being.
Access to the club area is now available and the car park is clear of ice. The water supply to the club remains turned off so please don’t use the buildings. Best wishes for the New Year Mike
Update 20 Dec 2010
Hollowell Sailing Club is closed until
further notice.
This will include Boxing Day (even for non sailors) and the Snowflake series. Apart from the current access problems which are likely to continue, we have frozen pipes in the Disabled Changing Room. To avoid potential problems the water is turned off in all areas. You will appreciate we don’t want to turn the water on on Boxing Day and find we have a burst. We did have problems with both of the combi boilers. These are now working and will be checked every couple of days. For those of you involved in the two training course on Saturday January 8th we will take a view a bit nearer the time. Best Wishes for Christmas and lets hope Global Warming doesn’t affect us too much in 2011. Best Regards, Mike
Update 16 Dec 2010 Following a work party today in rapidly deteriorating conditions the club will be closed for the weekend. Saturday Work Party cancelled The work party on Saturday is cancelled due to the weather conditions. Plus the fact that the Wrinklies have done most of the work. So stay in bed and have another round of toast. Sunday sailing cancelled There should have been one last race in the Frostbite series, but conditions are not suitable to run it: There is floating sheet ice, much of it below the surface. Today we managed to recover floating boat sheds 5 and 6. During the course of this we encountered loose ice which made the boat shed jump and the Jeanneau shudder. Not ideal conditions for a dinghy. There are large sheets of ice between Church and Guilsborough marks and beyond which could continue to break off and get blown down the lake by the north wind. Conditions for the rescue and committee boat crews are also very poor. There are mixed weather messages for the coming days, but the sensible view seems to stay off the water. Oh by the way · Today the gas man cometh again. He serviced all of our boilers. The combi boiler which supplies heat to the changing rooms was fixed, though we need to keep an eye on it. · Unfortunately the boiler in the Naseby Lodge was taken out of service and drained down. A quote to restore it will follow. Meanwhile although we think the system has been drained the heaters are maintaining a temperature of 10 degrees to avoid any expensive plumbing bills. · We now have new tables and chairs in the lounge and T Bar. They look very nice. Pity no one can get down there to use them. Christmas Party Nearly 100 of you are attending the party so it should be a great occasion. We’ll start with prizes at 1300 as planned although if people are there from 1230 onwards we could start a bit earlier if that suits everyone. See you there. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Best Regards, Mike
Update 11 Dec 2010 - this is why! In consultation with Ian Brett, Duty Officer tomorrow, we must declare Hollowell closed for sailing tomorrow. The whole of the bay area and all the way down past Church and Guilsborough marks and all the slipways are iced up. Ice is up to 3 inches thick still. Temperature drops to zero overnight so it will not improve much. There will be no duty crew on tomorrow and so the T Bar will not offer refreshments either. The ice is extremely dangerous. In places it looks quite thick and able to support a human; but then it thins to open water. Even where it appears the water is open there is the probability that there is sheet ice below the surface. I have already had one dope cheerfully tell me he can walk on the water and that he was alright if it broke because he had his Wellingtons on! Clearly a candidate for the next Monty Python sketch. Please, please stay away from the water Next update will follow the Wrinkly work party next Thursday. The good news is that the changing room combi boiler is behaving itself, though it will be checked again mid week.
Best Regards,
Mike
Update 9 Dec 2010 The reservoir Is frozen over but with an increasing area of water in the middle. The ice is up to 3 inches thick and extends around the rescue boats. We think as the ice melts it slides under the water in sheets. This was certainly happening near the shore line last Sunday. We have two damaged floating boat sheds on the water which we need to get off and establish what has happened to them but we couldn’t think of a way of getting to them which ensured we would survive the experience. Walking was a temptation. Shame I hadn’t brought our dog, he would have had a go. The Buildings All suitably warmed up. We have had a problem with the combi boiler which provides heat in the changing rooms. The gas man cometh, but not for long as there is a gas boiler crisis in Northants at the moment so they are in headless chicken mode. He restarted the boiler, thinks he knows what he needs and will come back next Thursday to do it and give the other boilers their annual service. This means I have to keep going to Hollowell every couple of days to restore boiler pressure so we don’t freeze up. The Fire extinguisher man cometh too. He was a bit more successful and apart from an extinguisher falling off the wall he gave us a clean bill of health. Derek had fixed the extinguisher almost before it hit the ground. The new fly killer is installed, all we need now are a few volunteer flies to prove it is working. The car park Is frozen solid but usable if you drive carefully. The widely advertised warm up to 6 degrees has been postponed by the met office. It may come on Friday or Saturday ...... and it might not. Optimist Regional Training Day Should be on Saturday. Seems a bit dubious at the moment. David Holman will examine the pitch on Friday afternoon and let potential participants know. I have demonstrated my lack of confidence by not getting the bacon out of the freezer. Final call for the Christmas party This is at Guilsborough Village Hall on Sunday December 19th, £8 adults, £5 children. Please let Elaine know if you are coming ( elaine@ski-retreats.co.uk ) . We need to know numbers of adults and children and any special dietary requirements. We need to know the number of children as Father Christmas needs to know how many pressies to bring. He hopes to arrive on a boat, but it is possible the boat won’t make it if it snows too much, but he says he’s coming anyway. Apparently he is bringing quite a large pixie with him. Christmas Party programme 1000 Set up tables at Guilsborough village hall. Let Elaine know if you can help 1030 last of the Frostbite series, slightly earlier than usual. Ian Brett and Russell Brayshaw/Nicola Wilkinson are neck and neck in the series so this could be the decider. Watch out for request for ice breaker so we can run the event. 1300 Annual Prize Giving Guilsborough village hall 1330 Christmas Dinner, a splendid meal made by many willing hands. Let Sue Prouse, Mary Mallard or Helen Playle know if you want to help Carol singing with the Hollowell Orchestra, a visit from Father Christmas and his large Pixie friend and lots of fun. Ian and Annie Mackay are producing a surprise item for you to enjoy. 1700 Clear up and away by 1800 or we’ll all turn into pixies. The bar will be open throughout. Best Regards, Mike
Update 4 Dec 2010 I visited the club at lunchtime today to find the tarmac drive OK but the club roads and car park very difficult. The bay area had thinly frozen over as far as the rescue boats. In the meantime, the thaw has continued and following a discussion with Ian Brett who is Duty Officer tomorrow we have decided it is your decision whether or not you sail tomorrow. Ian will be there for 0900 and if he decides the car park is impassable he will meet you at the gate to stop you coming down too far. The electric gates have failed as well; one gate is in the open position so cars can get through alright. The forecast tomorrow is 0 Celsius at 0500 warming to a nice cosy 2 or 3 depending which forecast you look at. After that it becomes very cold (-7) but we will be away by then. Perhaps see you tomorrow. Best Regards, Mike
Conditions at the club - 2 Dec 2010 Access from the electric gates to the club is very difficult with soft snow on ice on the tarmac roadway and slightly deeper snow on the club tracks. You’ll get in but you won’t get out. 4 x 4s are currently accessing John and Hayley Strowbridge’s house and could presumably get onto the club grounds. However this will simply compact the snow and ice further taking longer to clear. I suggest any planned activity on Saturday should be cancelled. There is a change of wind direction tomorrow so this may change conditions underfoot although the underlying temperature will make for a slow thaw. A further inspection will take place on Saturday with a view to access being restored for Sunday. The reservoir is not frozen and the light snow around the buildings may have gone............ Christmas party Having asked you not to come to the club, this makes it a bit difficult to sign up for the Christmas party. Currently there are about 50 names down so plenty of room for more. If you have not put your name down in the clubhouse, please can you email Elaine membership@hollowellsc.org.uk with numbers of adults and children and any dietary requirements. The Christmas party is at Guilsborough village hall. So that we don’t delay the meal, a change to the Sailing Instructions has been issued. The last Frostbite series race on Sunday December 19th will start promptly at 1030. After that the Duty Officer will lock up and there will be a mad dash to the village hall for the Annual Prize Giving and food. Best Regards, Mike
Hollowell Youth Squad take part in 2010 NSSA Double Handed Team Racing Championships By Angela Peck On 6 March 2010 Alex Peck, Sarah Small, Jason Robbins, Rachel Heggs and Sophie Otter - all from Hollowell Sailing Club joined by Richard Kelsall from Banbury - all sailed for Northamptonshire in the NSSA Event at Oxford, Farmoor. Teams from around the country took part and unfortunately in the knock-out round Northamptonshire were knocked out by a team they had already beaten. Praise has to be given, nevertheless, as they had never sailed together as a team – ever! Chris Lowe reported, “Eight teams took part with entries from as far a field as Northampton, Worcestershire, Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire. All of the teams raced against each other in a single round robin which took 28 races. The only team to remain undefeated was Magdalen College School A (MCS A) with Abingdon School second and Northampton third. The second stage of the competition was a knock out with the first ranked team sailing against the eight and the second sailing against the seventh. The knock out produced an upset with Northampton losing to Worcestershire 10 point to 11 points. This gave a semi final of MCS A against Cambridge B and Abingdon against Worcestershire. MCS A and Abingdon won through to the final. The Chief Umpire Bill Brockbank who had driven over 90 miles to umpire the event noted that the sportsmanship and rule observance was the best that he had seen at a youth team racing event for many years. The Cambridgeshire team not only brought two teams but also helped to man the committee boat all day which was very busy with 36 races being started and finished at the committee boat. It is hoped that this event will run again next year at Oxford and it will continue to grow. It enables young sailors from both the state and independent sector of education to race with and against each other and prepares them for the type of sailing that they will enjoy when they go to University together.” See full article on :Yachts and Yachting If any younger sailors are picked for the RYA team racing or the NSSA team racing – five out the six were picked from Hollowell Sailing Club this time – then some training might well put them in a stronger position. Ideally some double-handed experience might be arranged as a group and with the Summer coming up the sailors will have time on their hands (?!). Anyone interested in sharing the costs of training? Estimated to be in the region of £35 per person (e.g. Fireflies at Farmoor – double handed boat used for team racing) then please contact Angela on email: angie_gallie@yahoo.co.uk.  27 June 2010 Solo Open There was a disappointing entry to the Solo Open at Hollowell on Sunday 27 June, no doubt caused by the England debacle in Bloemfontain and the lovely summer weather but little breeze. In the event 5 visitors joined 6 home boats for what turned out to be a good days racing, with different winners of each of the three races, although in each race the fleet split as the wind varied over the lake. David Liddington and Neil Wilkinson ended up tied on 3 points each with Liddington winning on countback. Congratulations are due to the Race Officer, Larissa Barker, and her team for completing the racing to time to listen to the second half!!! Results 8 May 2010 Open Day Hollowell sailing club attracted over 100 visitors despite blustery conditions at the weekend. Making the most of winds of over 15 miles per hour more than 80 guests experienced a taste of sailing or windsurfing – many for the first time - and toured the excellent club facilities. Hollowell Sailing Club was open to the public on Saturday 8 May 2010 signing up more than 30 new members who took advantage of special Annual Open Day joining discounts. “I’ll be back and sailing tomorrow,” said one new family member from Moulton. The club boasts over 250 members and caters for all abilities and ages with a particular focus on developing the skills of young sailors. It has also built a reputation for its friendly atmosphere and active social calendar which includes barbecues, camping and family days. Commodore Mike Pipes said: “It’s been good to see so many people interested in joining a club that offers excellent facilities, top quality youth and adult sailing and competitive racing.” He added, “Dinghy sailing and wind surfing are more accessible than many people imagine. All our members are involved in running the club – contributing time which not only keeps our fees within reach but is key to the unique sense of community spirit that all those who visit us remark on.” Set in a tranquil and picturesque valley within 10 miles of Northampton and 20 miles of Leicester, Hollowell Sailing Club is especially proud of the recent national and international success of several of the younger sailors. Young Hollowell sailor, Arran Holman came through the final selection trails earlier this month with flying colours moving him closer to representing Great Britain at the Optimist World and European Championships. Hugh Brayshaw also celebrated recent success at the 420 World Qualifiers and will be representing Great Britain together with Leicestershire helm, Mike Woods later this year.

Club Dinner
and must be paid for before the event.
This is a pleasant evening without noisy
music and an opportunity to chat to
other members in the comfort of our
clubhouse.
19 Feb 2010 Many thanks to those of you you who turned out last Saturday for the work party. We now have a log cabin which is not only clear of leaves but sports a new coat of creosote. Those of you who came with pressure washers (on the previous Thursday as well) enabled us to do a fantastic job on our pathways and boat covers removing algae and generally tidying the place up. The boat people worked very hard too and spruced up the rescue and club boats ready for the new season. Thursday work parties continue, though yesterday's came to an early finish as the snow poured down on the Naseby pontoon. A further deliver of wood came during the blizzard and this is by the main slipway. However,due to snow in Germany, we are currently unable to source the very long support timbers to upgrade the rest of the pontoon. They may come next week, but more snow is forecast, so who knows. Meanwhile there is lots to do on the pontoon adding side timbers. The Wrinkly work party is doing a fantastic job on this pontoon and they have created a very good walking surface. Snow: yesterday saw some of us struggling out of the club due to a combination of slush, ice and mud. Whilst these conditions persist I suggest people avoid using the access road until the snow goes away. Club of the Year 2010: We put in a really good bid for this to the RYA. Unfortunately, so did several other clubs and we didn't make the top 5. We have received a very nice commendation certificate which actually looks better than the trophy we received last year. So, no free tickets to the Dinghy Show this year. Nicola £10k Wilkinson and Clive de la Fuente put in a great effort on the application. I'm not sure what else we are supposed to do as we delivered on last year's promises and more. And speaking of £10k, the General Committee approved a further £2,000 to enable us to order 5 Picos and the Bahia. The 5 Picos join our existing Pico to create a new training fleet which will also be available for hire. Picos can be used by both adults and children so we expect them to be quite busy. The General Committee also approved the implementation of a broadband system in the clubhouse. More news on that as work progresses. That's all for now. Enjoy your sledging! Best Regards, Mike
Work Party 13 Feb 2010 The following tasks remain outstanding:
