Editorial

Welcome to issue 14 of the NSCA magazine.

We are close to the biggest event of the UK Solo Season, the Selden National Championship. Not too late to enter!

The Pusinelli Trophy is the pre-champs warm-up so get to Lymington next weekend.

We lost a great Solo Sailor late last year, Robin Webb was very well known in the dinghy world and his chandlery in Walsall set the benchmark for the modern day ‘everything you need to go sailing’ shop. I have frustratingly been unable to find a decent photo of Robin blasting upwind in his Solo, it was a fearsome sight, so if you have one, please get in touch. Thanks to the sailors who have contributed to this short tribute.

Jamie Morgan is having almost a good a year as Oliver Davenport and despite facing some adversity in Medemblik, showed some serious talent to finish fourth. Jamie uses a 360 degree camera and his footage is awesome so get onboard and enjoy the bumpy ride.

Harry Lucas continues to show promise and capped a good season with 14th overall in the fleet of 68 in the Netherlands.

Thanks to him for taking the time to write down a few words on his experience in the flatlands. We spent an evening eating and drinking with Team CB Coverstore in Medemblik, his dad, Dave showed a soft side when he tried to adopt a guests dog, it was un-nerving.

Tedd Bakker was on the pace and so hear what he has to say about Medemblik.

We were all impressed with the speed of Paul Dijkstra’s home build and I include a special on his boat.

Oliver Davenport has been irresistible in some breeze, get on-board and hear how he starts.

I will include a Nation’s Cup top 10 with the Nationals top 10 in the next mag.

Entries are coming in for the Selden Nationals at HISC 23-28 July. Last count we had 85, 100 is the magic number.

Word is that Charlie Cumbley will be racing, he won in 2013 and 2018 so it will be fascinating to see if he can do it again.

First he has the OK Worlds to defend in Lyme Regis.
