Dinghy Day Temporarily Suspended
Categories:
The Dinghy Day sailing on Tuesday 19th January started quite quietly, but within an hour of us arriving the wind increased, and as it was from the south, the waves in the bay were challenging. Despite the conditions, four of our best dinghy sailors gave the social watchers an entertaining afternoon.

Renew or Purchase Your Licensia Federativa Now!
Categories:
As previously announced, the CBYA Committee strongly recommends that, as from 1st January 2021, all sailing members should purchase their own insurance which will not only cover them for any CBYA sailing activities but sailing globally*. The Valencian Community Sailing Federation’s licence is not just for racing and the TOMs, but INCLUDES cover for Dinghy Day and Hobie Cat sailors, as well as for those that join the monthly CBYA day charters, and our annual CBYA charter holiday trips.
*Civil Liability limited to European Community. Sailing outside of Spanish waters requires a Sailing Federation endorsed certificate; a paper exercise, which is easy to obtain.
The “SomVela” (App) Licencia Federativa: Deportista (racing), Carnet Deportivo (non-racing) or Anual Escuela, provides this cover. Members who race, or sail the TOMs, MUST have to have this insurance.

Final Dinghy Day of 2020 – Another Amazing Day
Categories:
Final Dinghy Day of 2020
A culmination of just about everything we have had on Dinghy Days since we started after the summer.
Eleven sailors and ten “socialisors“…a great turn out. All suitably socially-distanced!
The conditions were very difficult, big swells, some breaking waves, the wind going round in circles, no wind, and then massive gusts! We had boats planing, capsizing, running up onto the beach, and above all, some impressive sailing and skill from everyone who took part.
