2SAIL 2012

Do you have ambition to sail with the World’s blind sailors? Come and try!
2SAIL 2012 This is a project for 20 Londoners with no experience of sailing to learn to sail together to the highest standards . Ten of them will be visually impaired and ten sighted. It is a 5 year programme culminating in 2012 – the year of the London Olympics. There will be travel opportunities with exchange visits and entry to the World Blind championships. This is your chance to see if sailing could be your passion. Here, in the middle of London, is the very best and most challenging teaching and it’s for you to try!

Medway Marathon 2007

Tideway took part in this event with a 'full' crew of 6 in our Hawk 20 'Dilly'. We came away with the Sailability prize ( mainly I guess because we were the only sailability boat taking part. The turnout was lower than usual maybe because it coincided with The Tour de France, Wimbledon finals, The British Formula 1 Grand Prix etc. etc. Also the wind was light and unpredictable with some boats abandoning the race.

September 9th 2007 saw the second of the GYC hosted Thames Regattas with a substantial number of sailing dinghies taking part. Among the classes of dinghy were Omegas, Bosuns, Stratos, Access 303, and Topper. Tideway managed to come away with a class trophy and we had 9 boats taking part, all in the Access 303 class. The results depended upon one race as the morning race was abandoned due to light winds, well no wind at all actually but it gave the safety power boats an opportunity to practice their towing skills to get crews back to GYC in time for lunch! The wind picked up for the afternoon race which gave some exciting sailing.
Access Traveller Series at Greenland Dock
