SUMMARY:GYC Workshop – Whipping\, Splicing and Chains!
DESCRIPTION:This event is for members & applying members only. Roger is running a workshop on a Tuesday night to learning “Whipping” and “Splicing” (we may not get to the chains!) every other month starting from 17th February. Bring your own fid!\nWhipping and splicing are traditional ways to repair and care for your rope. They’re especially useful\, as replacing rope new for old is wasteful and can be expensive. \nThe technique of whipping is hundreds of years old\, but it remains the best and safest way to secure the end of a rope. It’s generally regarded to be much better than melting the end\, which can create sharp or bulging ends \nRope splicing is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line\, to form a loop or an eye in a rope\, or for joining two ropes together. Splices are preferred to knotted rope\, since while a knot typically reduces the strength by 20–40%\, a splice is capable of attaining a rope’s full strength. \nAny Questions talk to Roger\, see you all there!\n

SUMMARY:GYC Workshop – Knots and Boat Parts!
DESCRIPTION:This event is for members & applying members only. \nChristine is running a workshop on a Tuesday night every other month\, to learning different types of “knots” and learn parts of the boat\, on the dates at the top of this poster.\nSailors learn many types of nautical knots because different tasks demand different combinations of security\, adjustability\, strength\, ease of tying/untying\, and suitability for\nrope type and conditions. A single knot cannot optimally meet every need on a vessel; matching knot to purpose reduces risk\, saves time\, and preserves gear.\nUnderstanding the names of the parts of the sailing boat is an essential part of your journey to sailing. If you’re a beginner sailor\, you want a quick and solid overview of the\ndifferent sailboat parts this workshop is for you. If you are just curious about any part of this workshop – why don’t you join us. \nAny Questions talk to Christine\n

SUMMARY:GYC TALK - "Harbours and Heroes" by Rodney Lord (ex-GYC Member)
DESCRIPTION:GYC Social Team are delighted to welcome back our former GYC member Mr Rodney Lord to talk about his incredible book “Harbours and Heroes” \nSynopsis of book:\nHarbours and Heroes is the story of a love affair with sailing which gradually developed into a vivid exploration of the history of Europe through its coastlines. From early on in his sailing career Rodney Lord found himself learning not only from experience but also from giant figures of the past—men like the diarist Samuel Pepys\, or Robert Fitzroy\, the inventor of weather forecasting and saviour of countless lives.\nIn this compelling travel memoir\, we start to appreciate not only the journey but the arrival\, and begin to relish the encounters with these local heroes\, with their triumphs and tragedies.\nThe pleasure of travelling\, says the novelist Marcel Proust\, is to make the contrast between departure and arrival as profound as possible so that one can marvel\nat the link between two distinct personalities of place. There’s nothing more intense than travelling across the sea in a small boat\, entirely dependent on your own skill and experience to ensure you arrive surely and safely\, to savour the difference between where you embarked and where you step ashore. \nAbout the Author\nRodney has worked in Fleet Street as Economics Editor and leader writer for The Times. He has also written a book on value for money in education and spent three years in HM Treasury as a special adviser to Nigel Lawson. Later he set up his own publishing company focusing on contemporary economic challenges. \nThere will be copies of this book for members to purchase a signed copy\, so please do bring cash (£11.85 on Amazon)
