31-10-07 -  Vinnie is sitting in 4th.

 

Going into the final event of the slalom series Vinnie has got himself a ranking of 4th place in the Challenge Fleet. With a podium finish at Poole at the weekend he could get himself into the top 3. Fingers crossed the forecast is wrong and the conditions come through to create a thrilling end to the season.

For those of you who might have seen the Local paper from last week, YES that

is a picture of our very own ‘Master’ Stuart Ord Hume on his paddle board with Molly.

14-11-07 -  Finally there is the possibility of wind.

 

The majority of the forecasts are now giving strong southerly’s or South South Westerly’s

On Sunday morning. There will be a lot of rain with it, but there is no doubt that there

Will be a lot of sailors heading to  the coast for the first wind for several weeks. Lets

Hope that this will be the start of the Autumnal winds that have not yet blown this year.

 

Why not pop into the shop and check out the new and offer equipment listed on our

Board and Sail pages.

29-11-07 -  Sunday 2nd December is looking Good

 

For those lucky few that have braved the very cold temperatures and been able to

get out during the week, or on  Sunday 18th the wind has started to return.

This coming Sunday the 2nd December looks like  another excellent day with

a strong South Westerly  forecast and warmer temperatures for here in

Worthing.

 

For those of us that still feel the colder weather we have a vast selection of Winter

 wetsuits from Neil Pryde, O’neill and other brands along with Mits, Hats etc to help

compete with winter sailing.

5-12-07 -  Mike is back on the Water

 

We have seen a fantastic few days of wind down here at Ferring starting last Friday. Following his recent absence from the beach Mike returned to the water last Friday for a gentle sail breaking him back in gently. He missed both Saturday and Sunday but again sailed today (Tuesday) in what has to be described as excellent conditions. Both Mike and Vinnie were out for a couple of hours both on 5m and Mike on his new Excocet Cross 84. The board was so good that Mike even got his fin clean out of the wave!!!!!

11-12-07 - What a weekend!

 

Well the forecasts were right and we had some fantastic conditions over the

weekend, although it was too strong for some.

Saturday brought 50mph southerly winds and a reasonable swell here in Ferring

with a number of sailors braving the conditions for what turned out to be a fantastic

afternoon.

 

Sunday brought 40mph westerly’s with an awesome swell. Only a few sailors managed to

get off from the beach including our own Vinnie and Sam who had a good hour or

so playing on the waves.

7-2-08 - Back to normal at the weekend!!!!!!

 

I am sure many of you have noticed that the shop has been closed up for a few weeks. This weekend Mike and Sue are back from there trip to Barbados. Hopefully they will have had plenty of wind, sunshine and it obviously has been a lot warmer than here.

 

Here at Ferring we have had an amazing start to the year. Although  last weekend was very cold, it has been fairly mild the majority of the time. Even the wood slicks that floated in several weeks ago could not affected the our sailing. The beaches at Worthing still have piles of wood piled high and they are hand picking the last pieces up by hand. On a blast along the beach from Ferring to the pier on Sunday we were amazed by the site of the wood stacks from out at sea.

 

We are now entering the start of the 2008 season and both Sam and Vinnie are busy preparing for there respective competitions. The windy conditions have been providing good training sessions and helping to improve fitness levels.

We are heading towards a break from the wind with a run of light Easterlies for the next few days. Hopefully the high pressure will move away quickly and we can return to the windy weather we have recently been experiencing.

 

In the meantime why not pop into the shop and see what fantastic offers Mike and Sue have in stock.
