I think when we changed from Alana to Volition our points were transferred across.

Blue Book Points. Portishead Trip 20th April
For the BCYA Blue Book Challenge the points awarded should be
Visiting a yacht/Sailing Club listed in the Blue Book 2 points (PCC)
Taking part in an official club cruise 2 points.
therefore by my calculations 4 points should be awarded to the following boats
Volition, Xanadu, Magic Wand, Gofa, Shooting Star, Lucky Duck, Coracle, Moonstruck, Larc, Wyndsong, Arrietta, Sunbeam, Annie, Kipperhips, Illusion, High Spirits, Ardua
Runagane has gained 3 points for taking part in an official club cruise (2 points) and visiting a marina or anchorage listed in the blue Book (Portishead quays Marina) 1 point.
The points are for the boat, and I have treated the visit to PCC as 2 points in the spirit of we would have all sailed & moored up there if it had been possible. Therefore I have not included the 1 point for visiting a marina as I think that would be a duplication.
Would someone confirm these with me please.
Thanks

I've just noticed that there is an error in the Bluebook application. I haven't touched it since I cleared down the data. I have asked my ISP to look into it. Please be patient.

OK. I think that's up to date. I'm afraid I don't have full crew lists, so will update when you let me know. Apologies for the moment.

First please add 4 points to Ardua.
Here are amendments to list:
Annie, crew Russell & Viv
Illusion, Jon & Allison
Larc, Jack & Sian
Lucky Duck, Gary & Treeve
Moonstruck, Paul, Tudor & (I think Julian)
Shooting Star, Mark
Wyndsong, Karen
Katy, has been sold to John Tredget
Sea Symphony is now Tern
Please add Rebel, Rob & Gaynor to the list and give them 4 points
I think that's it.
Thanks Martin

Yes we did Duncan, actually it was New Years Eve. No-one has done anything about the points for that yet. These points are now too late for the BCYA BBC being more than 3 months past.
There are also points due for the Easter Cruise.
I don't know who is co-ordinating this.

Please add the following points for Volition as a result of our holidays!
4th May Watchet overnight stay, Esplanade bar closed, 1 point
5th May, visiting Mumbles Yacht Club during their Dart 18 open 2 points (+ 2 for it being a "regatta"?)
5th May, overnight at Oxwich Bay (no points not in book!)
6th May, Saundersfoot, yacht club closed 1 point
6th May, overnight at Tenby against the wall, yacht club closed 1 point
7th May, Dale with visit to Dale YC 2 points
8th & 9th May, holed up in Milford Marina 1 point
10th & 11th May, mooring buoy at Llawrenny (no points, not in book)
12th May, visit to Pembroke Haven Yacht Club, moored up on their pontoon and given key to shower facilities, very good hospitality 2 points
12th May, overnight at Llangwm (no points)
13th to 15th May, Milford Marina again (no more points!)
16th May, overnight at Lundy Island, with visit to pub, and using CYC season ticket avoiding landing fees! (Sadly, Lundy Island is not in the BB either!)
17th May, Instow and a visit to North Devon YC, they were not as friendly in the bar as they were last time, they were having a Dart 18 rally as well so all dinghy sailors - 2 points
18th May, Clovelly, no YC there 1 point
19th to 21st Padstow Harbour, no YC there 1 point
22nd to 26th May, Ilfracombe, visiting YC, taking part in Round Lundy Race, (sadly came 4th so no points) 2 points for visiting the club, plus 2 bonus points for visiting during their regatta (Lundy Race should count)
Note, the BCYA allows extra points for actually taking part in another club's regatta, as well as visiting during a regatta. We don't seem to have that in our rules.
That's all for now

This is so Embarrassing -after all the hours I spend setting up the forum, the trauma of it all, and now, the admin just can't be arsed! it's such a sad day. Almost as sad as our club members crossing the pond on someone else's boat, I mean, WTF! Apologies for the delay.

Martin, last weekend Voliton, Preceptor, Atiqua & Enigma went to Burnham on Sea as part of the no 2 fleet of the club cruise.
Voliton already has points for Burnham (or at least has already reported a visit) but we want the points for the club trip please.

Sui, Your so right.  We haven't had a video from admin for some time. Its about time he showed his face. Remember before they crossed the pond on someone else's boat - Admin used to give on board, bread cooking tips - assist in boat deliveries and video his adventures. Now as you put it so nicely- he cant be arsed. ;D  WTF - Where's The Fun - gone.  |

Of course, it's difficult to get up from the sofa and type on the keyboard, but in all fairness, he did read the South Wales Echo weather and send it to Allan ;D I think Louise should take over - she does everything else ;D ;D ;D he he he - I can hear the grinding of teeth from here ;D Sui, Your so right.

You never know, he might improve - Once the Rugby Season starts- cos he'll have to use his laptop to check the fixtures. ( That's if Louise has remembered to recharge it ;D ;D) He'll be saying next he's been doing work around the Bungalow and grounds. |

Hidden Secret, also points for 1st place Moontide, also points for 3rd place Tamarind Volition Preceptor Lucky Duck Continued.... The rules as given to me when we started this are here: www.greyreef.co.uk/bluebook/Points.htmI can't see any mention of points for finishing in the first three, apart from the first three places in the CYC regatta. Can someone advise - wrt Moontide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note to self. I'll continue updating the scores at post 17, once these have been clarified. |

Post by sheila on Jul 30, 2013 18:47:27 GMT
Thank you Martin, that is all fair enough. I wonder if we should amend the rules, because getting a winning place in someone else's regatta surely deserves extra points. I think we are due to have a sailing section meeting very shortly, so perhaps we can put that on the agenda and agree on a rule change.

Post by Romantica on Jul 30, 2013 20:56:48 GMT
Martin, Brilliant reply to the banter. Good to see the admin hasn't lost his sense of humour I was getting worried about him. This blue book challenge is getting very competitive this year. As Sheila and yourself say, the rules may need to be updated with regards to the placings and points awarded in other clubs regattas Surely if there is a change in rules, then the changes cannot be implemented until next years BB challenge, as you can't change the rules half way through a competitive year. ;D Just busy, mate. Louise is working constantly, and, worse than that, I seem to be too. I didn't know whether or not to ban you both, or perhaps create a Junk Sailing Forum, and put Father Jack in there on his own. ;D |
