NATIONALS!!! Are you having trouble with getting measurement? Arrival Instructions

Tralee Bay Sailing Club

 

Musto Irish National Optimist Championships 2008

 

Instructions on Arrival

 

 

Welcome

Céad míle fáilte to all Oppie sailors, your families, friends and coaches. The members of Tralee Bay Sailing Club will endeavour to make your stay one of enjoyment, fun and good sailing.

 

Please follow the guidance below and the directions of the Club volunteers during the hectic arrival of almost two hundred oppies, together with road trailers, support boats and humans!

 

Optimists

  • Please arrive early.
  • Set down along the pathway just outside the TBSC dinghy park gates.
  • Sufficient time will be allowed and help provided for the unloading of your boat(s).
  • An area for the Regatta Fleet oppies will be allocated towards the rear of the dinghy park while Main Fleet boats may be parked towards the slip-end.
  • Once you have completed unloading, car and box trailers must be removed from the set-down area and brought to the designated storage space/casual campsite beside the local Samphires soccer pitch. Follow the directional signs. The car park opposite the club and the Club grounds will not be available for trailer storage.

 

Registration Office

  • The Registration Office is located upstairs in the Clubhouse.
  • Open Tuesday 1500–2300hrs (but please arrive early) & Wednesday 0800 – 0930hrs.
  • No entries will be accepted at registration. Entries will have closed on Sunday 17th August at 2100hrs.

 

RIBs & other Boats

  • Register in the Registration Office upstairs in the Clubhouse. All support boats must carry a designated flag which will be provided at registration. Please note that Fenit Harbour Commissioner is independent of TBSC and there will be a charge for marina berths. This charge will be collected at Registration, by TBSC, on behalf of the Fenit Harbour Commissioner.
  • RIBs may be launched from the public slipway which is adjacent to the Club and berthed at Fenit Marina. You must notify the Harbour Office when you berth and you will be required to present the receipt of marina fees.
  • Please park your RIB trailer in the designated area near the soccer pitch. The car park opposite the club and the Club grounds will not be available for trailer storage.
  • RIBs may not use the Club pontoon at any time.
  • Unfortunately, there is no petrol available in Fenit. The nearest stations are in Tralee.

 

 

TBSC Events Committee

It is only one week to go to the Nationals.  Hope you are all getting ready and looking forward to it.

Some people have had difficulty getting measuring due to several of our measurers being away. One (Brian Peelo) is away supporting his daughter Ciara (ex Oppie sailor) at the Olympics. We all wish Ciara well.

To alleviate this problem we have decided to adapt the ‘Non Conformance Document’ from IOCA for boats that are not measured. If you have equipment which you are finding difficult to get measured in time then you can fill out this Non Conformance Document.

click here to download Non conformance document

It is best to download it NOW, fill it in and present it at registration.  You can get a copy at registration in Tralee but if in any doubt its best to ahve it done beforehand. After the Nationals you then have six weeks to provide evidence that your equipment is measured and within specification..

Please note that this is a ‘one off’ as we are short of measurers at the moment. If you have any questions about how to do this please email me or phone me at 087 2620739.

ENTRY 

As you know we are fast approaching the Musto Irish Optimist Championship 2008. This year entry is online and should be done as soon as possible. You will need to have all your measurement certificates in order. Please read the instructions below that were sent by TBSC and PLEASE have all the forms filled in and ready before registration. It will make registration much easier and quicker. Do keep an eye on the TBSC website and the IODAI website as any news will be posted on these.

 

We will be having a forum for all members. Details later.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful event,

 

Kind regards

 

Anita Geoghegan
