Vertical Headsail Camber – critical for faster boat speed!
Categories:
Understanding headsail vertical camber is the modern headsail trimmer’s main tool for getting optimum speed and power out of the sail.
Headsail horizontal camber is always spoken about regarding how the sail needs to develop the right shape; but vertical camber is also critical to the performance of the sail.

First TOMs Class Racing – 5 Clubs Regatta Calpe – 16th Nov 2019
Categories:
The CBYA has entered TOM28 yachts into the 5 Clubs Regatta at Calpe on numerous occasions in the past, but due to the unfavourable TOM28 ORC rating, we have to race in the ORC-B class, and have never been able to compete against the bigger yachts. The best results have always been achieved in very light winds conditions with flat seas – we once managed to finish 5th!
Click HERE to see video from S/Y Blade. Look out for the TOM that tacked right in front of them at the start without even looking before the tack (not a CBYA boat)!!!
Strong Winds for the Altea 5 Clubs Regatta!
Categories:
Altea 5 Clubs – Sunday 20th October
The Altea 5 Clubs was a regatta of two halves for TrickyD. A downwind run to the Calpe fish farm, with TrickyD and her crew enjoying the 20 knot plus winds.
After rounding the fish farm, and sailing close-hauled on our homeward leg, we were hit by 35 knots of wind gusting to 45 knots. After reefing down, we decided to retire.
