Third Cadet Class Selector Trials at RCYC

The United Kingdom National Cadet Class Association team has been selected to represent the UK at the 2013 world Cadet world championship in Nieuwpoort, Belgium later this year. With just seven places available from a total of three events, competition in today's final four races in the Zhik Selector series - the Alf Simmonds Memorial Trophy - at the Royal Corinthian YC was always going to be intense.

Corinthian Otters - Champion Club...

The Corinthian Otters are pleased to announce that they have again been awarded RYA Champion Club status for the next two years as a result of continuing sponsorship from Volvo. It is a recognition of the hard work by all the Otters supporters, trainers and the facilities available. Congratulations!

Volvo Gill Optimist Inland Championships 2013

The Volvo Gill Optimist Inland Championships are the first ranking event in the Optimist sailing calendar. The annual weekend event draws competitive members of the class together following the winter season training and attracts over 250 of the country's top young sailors. For those that have not seen over 200 oppies on a start line it is a sight to behold. Competing in these ranking events is tough. The National Squad and Team all compete for places in the new round of rankings to obtain renewed squad places in the forthcoming year; it is hugely competitive.

Corinthian Otter Open Training Day

Thirteen boats took advantage of the Open Training Day at the Corinthian Otters on Saturday 18th May. Chris Videlo together with Nick Sutton, Katie and Sam Barr gave some high quality coaching in preparation for the following day's Open Meeting and the following weekend's Indicator. Everyone came off the water very satisfied with the hints and tips they had received about sailing on such a tidal venue.
