For Sale Small Print / Posting Instructions (or Video)

If Posting this is the small print

We really appreciate the regular use of the second hand listing pages and we’ve been working hard to ensure that this is easy to use and gives a quick response.  

However we’d like to remind you that a little bit of patience is required with these new features, if you upload an advert it WILL NOT appear immediately even if you have paid by card.  This because a HUMAN, not a computer needs to approve your advert.

So if your advert doesn’t appear immediately, please don’t up load another. It hasn’t appeared because it hasn’t been approved by one of the two or three HUMANS who do this! 

Please note we do not deal with third party contracted web developers to place adverts on this site we only accept adverts from members or Flying Fifteen owners on these pages.

Thanks for listening

The management!

Aldeburgh Flying Fifteen Open

Aldeburgh Flying Fifteen Open

Event Report & Results from 2nd-3rd May

Aldeburgh delivered the goods for the Flying Fifteen Open: warm spring sunshine, a reliable 10–12 knots, and the kind of racing that reminds you why river sailing is so special.

There were twelve entries in total including three visitor boats joining the home fleet — a healthy turnout for so early in the season. Saturday's races made full use of the tides to head upriver and the course did not disappoint. The windward mark was set around one of the river's sharp bends, hard against a strong flood. The beat became a test of tactical decision-making and short-tacking skills close to the bank, producing plenty of place-changing over three races.

A superb buffet dinner was held in the clubhouse on the Saturday evening. The Flying Fifteens were joined by the Wayfarer fleet, who were holding their own Open, and more than forty sailors sat down together at one long table, making it a lively night.

Sunday's racing moved downriver, just below the Martello Tower, with two windward–leeward races in more open water — a fine contrast to Saturday's racing.

When the results were tallied, the visitors claimed the top two places on the podium. Justin and Amanda Waples (RCYC) took the title, with Chris and Emma Sparks (Waldringfield) in second.

Throughout the weekend the racing was keen but the spirit was exactly right: competitive but good natured and above all enjoyable.

Visitor boats are always warmly welcomed at Aldeburgh and we have two more events scheduled in the diary: the AYC Spring Regatta runs on 23–24 May and the Summer Regatta takes place from 23–28 August. Come and join us for some close racing, good company and stunning river sailing. Enry forms can be found at www.aldeburghyc.org.uk/entry_forms. Alternatively contact: [email protected]
