President's Message
Hello Fifteeners

Thank goodness for some of us the second lockdown has ended, but the third is on the horizon - I do hope all of you have stayed safe and well throughout this year. It's been tough for many and second time round weird we have not been allowed to get fresh air on the water. Interestingly Anglian Water were prepared to keep Grafham Water (& other AWS reservoirs open) yet it was the RYA and Insurers who scuppered sailing. Honestly why does common sense not come to the fore. From 3rd December GWSC will be open and given this time of year we will open the changing rooms using a tally system. I hope other sailing venues follow suit. (GWSC have, however, cancelled this year's Grafham Grand Prix - just being pragmatic and proportionate). We were delighted to hear that many Fifteeners did manage to sail between the lockdowns, all be it single handed in many cases - for many it was simply good to be out on the water.

2020 Flying Fifteen events and Championships have been a non-starter for all of us - however we have a lot to look forward to in 2021. Enclosed with this newsletter is the 2021 diary of events. For the first time in many years there will be a Classic and National Championship held at Grafham alongside the GWSC Open meeting. It will operate on the same track but with a different start time to make the event special.

During the first lock down Justin Waples organised a particularly good wine tasting session; judging by the irreverent banter a good evening was had by all. We plan to kick off the New Year in style and repeat the session in January

Finally, UKFFA would like to wish everyone a very Merry Chrimble & Happy New Year in 2021!

Tim, Ian & Keith
