GSC Forum

Thank you John.

There have been some great photos on the clubs Facebook page in the last few days. Some today are of a Round the Island Race. I seem to remember an edition of Mainsheet with photos of GSC winning a team trophy. Does anyone remember the year or have I got the wrong race?

Don't know if this will be of any interest but on the HOA Facebook page there are two Hurleys free to collect. One is a long keel 22' and the other looks like a 20'. They are in the Liverpool area but neither has a trailer.

I need work on both my outboards so phoned both numbers. I spoke to Jon. He knew Bill but never worked for him. I didnt know Bill had passed away last year. They are mobile only at the moment and Im quite a way off. Im using ssimarine at Leigh. Anyone ever used them?

I didn't know Ian as long as most members but whenever I knew he was at the club I would seek him out to have a chat. One of the nicest people I have ever met. What a sad loss.

Well done to who ever arranged last nights presentation. A real treat.

At last years regatta I just used a seperate stopwatch for anyone coming out of the dock and started them when they crossed the start line. I think it was only The Other Woman last year.

What a gem. A few years ago Val arranged a guided tour by Dr White from the university. He spoke about a dry dock in the past. Is that a lock gate at the top left of the quay?

Great night at the Laying Up Supper. Thank you to everyone who organised it.

Thank you for that I really appreciate it.

When I was at the club today I think I have left my wooden mirror mast on the ground between Dizzie & Jackdaw. If anyone at the club reads this could they please check & put it under Dizzie for me as I probably won't get down again for a couple of weekends. Many thanks.

When I tidied the OD Box a few weeks ago there was a blue ring binder file in the left hand drawer. This contained a lot of information and plans of the buoys with the exception of "f" which was only placed there about this time last year. It had the up-to-date PYs etc. Is there anything i...

Thanks to Ivan and Big John the dinghy racing finally got underway over the Easter Weekend. The Spring Series continues on Saturday with the first race scheduled for 13.30 (HW 14.32 - 8.7m) and on Sunday with the first race at 14.15 (HW 15.11 - 8.3m). Unfortunately again I cannot get to the club due...

The coming weekend is scheduled to be quite busy. The details are on the calendar with times etc, but please note that the Carlsberg Trophy has been put back until later in the year and these races are now part of the Spring Series. Unfortunately I am unable to attend any events this weekend due to ...

Sorry this post is so late. The forecast for tomorrow is F4 & F5, too windy for the dinghies, so it looks like we are still waiting to kickstart our season.

Unfortunately we continue to be cursed by high winds at weekends. Saturday is predicting F5/6 Gusting F7 and Sunday is about the same. Therefore dinghy racing is postponed once again. Hope things improve soon. http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/morecambe_bay http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/LA2_0DB

There is no racing this weekend. The next races will be Saturday 22nd March, first race 13.30hrs, and Sunday 23rd March with the first race 14.30hrs. These two days will be the start of the Spring Series instead of the final days of the North West Icicle Series which has been completely lost due to ...

The details I have for the trophy are these: Presented for: The winner of the last crusier race at the Regatta Origin: Presented by the Club in 20** to keep the memory of Dave Crowther alive. Winners: 2010 Ocean Pheonix - Colin Lambert 2011 Jetwind - Dave Slippers Holmes 2012 Plain Jane - David Booth

I think having a dinghy race on Saturday is a great idea. It can't be included in any Series but it would be a great shake down to dust off the cobwebs and get ready for the Spring Series. Anyone not wanting to race could perhaps refresh themselves on manning the Patrol Boat. Can anyone who would li...

Until the work party on Saturday, I had not realised just how significant the damage was to our garage. I was also informed that the garage doors cannot be opened, which seeing the condition of the garage was not surprising and would be dangerous. However, this does mean that the Patrol Boat would n...

The forecast for Saturday is F6 Gusting 7 & Sunday F5. Therefore racing is cancelled again. http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/LA2_0DB http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/morecambe_bay Also given the degree of damage to the site in recent days it would have been reasonable to cancel the racing a...

Hope all goes well today, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I will be there.

The weather forecast for this weekend is for strong winds so unfortunately yet again the dinghy racing is cancelled. Hope we manage to get on the water soon.

In view of the Severe Weather Warnings of both today and Sunday, and the forecast for tomorrow, the dinghy racing for this weekend has been cancelled. Happy New Year to you all and hope to see you all soon. http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/LA2_0DB http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/morecambe_bay ...
