Metropolitan & Southern
District Championship


Cadenhead Trophy
Sunday 27th September 2015
Hosted By Clapham MYC

Picture
Clapham MYC are hosting the first Met and Southern district Footy class Championship and the 2015 Cadenhead trophy on Sunday September 27th at their 360 degree access concrete banked lake on Clapham Common. The prevailing westerly breeze gives a clean wind across the open common and the lake is an ideal size and depth for Footy racing.

This is also the first Footy event to be hosted by this club in its 145 year history.


The 2009 Footy Class Rules will apply with respect to boat construction, and in light wind conditions competitors will be asked to measure their largest sail against the 2014 UK Big Rig Template.

Ensure that your sail numbers are correctly displayed and that your boat will be capable of passing the box test as defined in the Footy rules.

Please ensure that none of the ancillary equipment mounted on the deck protrudes above the top of the box and that the sails are capable of travelling through their full movement without touching the top of the box.

The MYA formal rules for the racing will be the RRS 2013-2016 modified by the 2014 MYA Standard Sailing Instructions  as applied to radio controlled boats. However, don’t feel intimidated, these rules are basically full size boat rules and will be modified on the day to suit the Footy boat and local weather conditions. Local sailing instructions will be announced at the Race Officer’s briefing before the start of competition.

Your MYA membership card or equivalent evidence of insurance should be made available to the Race Officer if requested.

Advance notification of your intention to attend would be appreciated and you can register this by filling in the following Entry Form.

The Race Officer will be Rob Vice.
Registration and measurement checks will start at 10:00am.
The briefing will be at about 10:30pm with the first race due to commence shortly afterwards.
The final race starting at no later than 3:00pm and any race not completed by 3:30pm will be abandoned.
There will be a break for lunch.
Weed is not normally a problem for the Long Pond, but as the lake is formed by the natural water table, depth sometimes is especially after a sunny summer. Of course the Footy is one of our shallowest classes so this not expected to be problem, but if it is, the organising team will advise all entrants.


The entry fee will be £3:00 to be paid on the day at registration. Advanced payment is not necessary, however pre-notification of your intention to attend would be appreciated by the event organisers, and can be done by completing the simple online entry form.

This Event is part of the 2015 Open Footy League and is also part of the Novice Competition.

We hope to see you on the 27th and wish you a safe journey.
