CDYC Regatta Postponed

[quimby]

Due to uncertain weather and possible winds gusting over30knots we have reluctantly postponed the regatta to the August Bank Holiday after receiving assurances that this will be glorious sunshine with fair winds and fuel prices will be back to under a £1 per litre! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I think you may have got the wrong forecast Snoopy. Everyone I looked at says 15 knot max.

We had 5day forcast and with the fact that rain was forecast we took the view we would rather postpone and have the Regatta at a later date than have the risk of a wash out with people trying to have a good time with BBQs in the rain.We know the weather can change but our site is remote and access is not appreciated by owners if the track gets churned up. You have to make decisions with info at hand. Members were consulted and all agreed we should defer till August.Just means it will be bigger and better. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Weather looks fine to me..... a few of us are still planning on invading your pill. Just make sure your beers are cool and BBQs ready /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[quimby]

I don`t do wind ups! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif heres your free pint.

 

[Csail]

Going on tonights weather.............. maybe a good call. The channel is quite big swell and its pooring down here. Maybe swmbos idea of going to a hotel in mid wales is better!
Don't forget to order your boat names while i'm gone /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Already booked for that weekend. Is the bank holiday a good idea?

Re: forecast for weekend.

I have been watching the Met office 5 day forecasts for both Cardiff and Avonmouth since tuesday they have been forecasting gusts in excess of 30 mph for the weekend.

Its currently giving Gusts of 35 mph tommorow.

I think that the type of weather with relatively low average wind speed but with much stronger gusts is the worst for sailing.You never have the right amount of sail up.

 

[Csail]

Re: forecast for weekend.

I have been watching too and it is ok to go but potentially not a pleasant weekend so mission aborted. Any other great plans for the weekend?

Re: forecast for weekend.

i`m putting a new bathroom in,well thats the plan up to now.

Re: forecast for weekend.

Where ? .....in CDYC. is that why we can't come?
I'm happy weeing in the water. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: forecast for weekend.

Pretty miserable down there today as we cut up the wrecked punt. surprising how quickly the weather closed in ,one minute you could see the Severn crossing next minute blanked out with driving rain, cold too.

Re: forecast for weekend.

You will have too! The 1 toilet is for the ladies, and believe me when they start on the pop they go and go and go.The sani squad who emptied the Porta Potties in `96 could hardly keep up with them. [image]

Playing it by ear,if weather improves tommorow may slip away somewhere or wait until Sunday and lock out late morning for a daysail somewhere.

Re: forecast for weekend.

How are they selected into the ranks of sani squad ?

Is it after a strenuous selection course designed to weed out those not worthy of wearing the elite winged porta potti badge? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[quimby]

Re: forecast for weekend.

Easy! they had to prove themselves worthy of the task by running up and down the stairs at home with buckets of water, if the wife said they hadnt spilled any then they could apply to join the "Sani Squad" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: forecast for weekend.

they all seem to have a smile on there face /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: forecast for weekend.

Maybe a good idea that it was postponed, drizzle and quite windy here this morning.

 

[graham]

Re: forecast for weekend.

Met office are now giving 37mph gusts for Sunday afternoon.

Thats enough to keep us in the Bay.

Were peed off.Almost every weekend I have been not working has been stuffed by the weather this year. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[bluedragon]

Re: forecast for weekend.

Sorry to say this Graham, but do you really take any notice of these garbage wind forecasts from the Met Office (and BBC)? Average wind 17 knots with gusts to F8!! I don't think so. It's one reason I use services such as WindGuru that show a much more believable F4-5 with gusts F5-6 for Cardiff Bay area for Sunday...see who's right and let us know. I'll eat my wooly Musto hat if CBYC weather station shows F8 tomorrow /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

PS - Here's the Inshore Waters forecast "Southwest 4 or 5, occasionally 6 around St Davids Head, veering west later"
