CHIPSTEAD SC CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – 24th MARCH 2020

Further to the Coronavirus update given to Members at midday on 23rd March, in the light of H.M.Government’s more stringent instructions given on the evening of 23rd March, we regret that we must now close the dinghy park and no sailing, paddleboarding, radio sailing or other activity whatsoever should take place, even on an independent basis.

H.M.Government has indicated it will review its latest instructions after 3 weeks and the Club will reconsider the above restrictions in the light of any relaxation of H.M.Government’s position.

For the Chipstead Sailing Club General Committee

For those who haven’t renewed yet.

You can do this from the personalised link in your renewal email sent on 29/12, or the Membership button at the top of this website page.

Please support your club at this difficult time.

I feel it is only right to cancel the rescheduled Topper quiz night on Saturday March 28th due to the corona virus emergency and government advice for us to avoid gatherings. Sorry to disappoint you again, but I am sure this is not unexpected in the circumstances.

Jane Marshall
Topper Class Captain

RYA Musto Youth Award for aspiring Chipstead sailor

A new generation of inspirational sailors were recognised in the RYA Musto Regional Youth Awards, presented at the RYA Dinghy Show on March 1.

The awards celebrate the achievements of young people in the sport whether it’s on the racecourse, volunteering, instructing, coaching or overcoming adversity. They were presented to seven of the 11 regional winners by RYA Chair, Chris Preston, alongside Olympic champion Hannah Mills and her world championship-winning crew Eilidh McIntyre.

Chipstead SC Achievers – Dan Fox

Dan was born in 2000 and 10 years later started sailing with his Dad in an old Scorpion and then in a Mirror. By then the joy of sailing had truly bitten.

Dan joined Chipmates and started sailing Toppers and for the next 3-4 years competed in club and open events in Toppers.

But not only was Dan heavily involved in competitive racing, he was also helping with Chipmates, wanting to share his love of sailing with the younger sailors.

Dan also progressed through the RYA training programme and aged 14 qualified as an Assistant Instructor and at 16 as a Dinghy Instructor. At this point it was not uncommon to see a 16 year old Dan on the water teaching adults how to sail! By this time he was now too tall for a Topper and moved on to racing a Laser.
