West London Hospital Trophy
West London Hospital Weekend 5th and 6th May 2012 - West London Hospital Tropy & Edith Woods Cup & LCSC Trophy & King Morgan Trophy
Picture Gallery
The West London Hospital trophy is a two day all-in handicap trophy raced between Ranelagh, South Bank, Strand on the Green and London Corinthian. The Edith Woods cup is run along side this on Saturday, and the LCSC trophy on Sunday. The King Morgan trophy, which is run concurrently on Sunday, is awarded to the winning helms from either Ranelagh or London Corinthian.
The weekend of the 5th of May saw a superb turnout with 25 boats on Saturday and 24 on Sunday, with a wide variety of crafts present; Enterprises, Lasers, Merlin rockets, Solos, X1s, RS Visions and a Byte.
A light north easterly breeze made for challenging starts in strong tides on both days. A down wind start on the first day made for some great photos of the fleet and a lot of contention at the first mark.
Michael John sailed extremely well in his Solo, finishing 1st and 2nd on Saturday and Sunday. The X1s looked very competitive over the weekend, and Southbank sailing clubs trio of Allan Munro-Faure, Simon Adler and Renato Hidalgo raced extremely well over both days.
Wendy and her team put on a fantastic spread for the sailors and helpers - it was lovely to host our neighbouring clubs.

West London Hospital Trophy and King Morgan Trophy Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th May 2011
The West London Hospital trophy is a two day all-in handicap trophy raced between Ranelagh, South Bank, Strand on the Green and London Corinthian. The King Morgan trophy, which was run concurrently on Sunday, is awarded to the winning helms from either Ranelagh or London Corinthian.
On Saturday 28 boats entered for the race with visitors from South Bank, Ranelagh and Strand on the Green competing alongside the home club. A stiff WNW breeze of 15 mph allowed a course to be set to # 8 buoy at Barnes giving the visitors benefit of the full stretch of the best reach on the tidal stretch of the Thames.
A true handicap fleet started with two X1s, Enterprises, Lasers, Xeons a Wayfarer and a Vision. The wind played its usual tricks giving a demanding beat and a fluky sail back round the Chiswick corner from No 8, but it's surprising, as Paul Williamson reminded us during the prize giving, how regularly some people seem to get lucky. And no luck with the results on day 1 with the X1 of Nigel Edwards and Mike John of Ranelagh giving a demonstration of the art of river sailing in a demanding spinnaker dinghy in difficult conditions coming 1st. 2nd on corrected time was Val Nedyalkov in his Laser, 3rd was the X1 of Martin Dixon and Chris WI, 4th Hugh Kemlo and 5th Travis Giles of South Bank again in a Laser.
On Sunday 27 boats entered for the race - more from Ranelagh replacing the visitors from Strand on the Green. The wind was NNW again about 15 mph but gusty. This time the fleet was kept just to the stretch to the Chiswick corner but a spaghetti junction of a course was set by race officer Beverley Beech which tested the intellect of most; the course was (6p 4p 3s 2p 1p) x 2 then (4p 3s 2p 1p) x 5 - tough for anybody in demanding conditions, especially our visitors. The fleet got away without incident but plenty of incident and cavalier disregard for rules at buoy No 3. Despite having arranged for a protest committee to be on stand by, none (surprisingly) was lodged. Some exciting and spectacular racing with plenty of capsizing and other action to entertain the spectators ashore ensued.
Competitors and supporters were rewarded with a superb Barbeque put on by Hilary Branfield and James Eatwell during which prizes were given by club commodore Andre Gareh.

On 15th and 16th May 2010 LCSC hosted the West London Hospital Trophy annual dinghy handicap racing event between LCSC and three neighbouring sailing clubs on the river - South Bank (SBSC), Ranelagh (RSC), and Strand on the Green (SGSC). Over the two days 36 boats hotly contested the four trophies. Peter Hallett, Rear Commodore Dinghies (LCSC) was the officer of the day (OOD) on both days to oversee the event, and was ably assisted by many volunteers each day to ensure the smooth running and success of the event.
Participating classes: Enterprises, Lasers, Solos, Merlins, RS200, RS Visions and a Lark
Age range: 82 years to 11 years!
Prizes:
Many thanks to all of LCSC who assisted on the day and to the visiting clubs for taking part in the event. We look forward to the next gathering of the four clubs on the river in 2011, and to visiting the other clubs later this year.

- 25 boats from London Corinthians, Ranelagh and South Bank
- Conditions : Light north-westerly winds
- Course: No 3, No 4, No 1, No 2
- Start: 14:30
Well, what a turn-out! Twenty five boats on the start line, spring weather, a light north-westerly, the starting flags went down and no one over the line (well, just a couple of late starters desperately trying to claw their way back over the tide, anyway).
And so it was that the West London Hospital Trophy got off to if not a flying, at least a gliding start in the fickle breeze as the fleet made its way upriver to buoy No 3 - the windward mark of a figure of eight course set by race officer Peter Hallett.
There were no clear leaders at this point, but oh dear, at the mark, that was going to sort out the wheat from the chaff, event the wheat from the wheat with good sailors getting caught in the shadow of so many boats approaching. Set a bit too far out of the tideway, my dears, very little wind, darlings, 25 boats, dearies, boats continuing to drift upriver unable to get into the bank to leave No 3 to starboard. It was tough out there.
But a few things did emerge, the leaders, Martin Dixon and Chris W-I in the latter's own design and Val Nedyalkov in his Laser got away into clear air, along with Ranelagh sailors CP Edwards and M.J Gifford in their Enterprises, and Simon Hills (your reporter) in hot pursuit in his Laser.
From there, though, this report becomes a little hazy, because your reporter managed to lose his mainsheet and spend many frustrating minutes trying (twice) to re-reeve it as his boat went in and out of the wind and drifted whence it came. But a source from the front of the fleet (Val) reported close racing up there, with the Enterprises using their advantage in light airs to keep a rather unlucky sailor (Val) in their wind shadow, thus frustrating our leading Laser helm (Val).
Meanwhile, a fascinating race was emerging behind them. The Lasers of Simon Ashenden, Andre Gareh, Johnny Lyell, and Pete Lee were all racing hard against each other, with Kevin Seebaluck trying to catch them, and the lot of them trying to catch Clive Kitson who, while still a million miles (all right, yards, all right, inches) behind Val in the leading Laser, was setting the pace for the others.
The Enterprises of Chris Crosland, John Chick and Gareth Llewellyn all were pushing a claim for victory against each other, while at the back of the fleet Christelle Escoffier and Ed Hipkin were, frankly rather too relaxed and enjoying their sailing unencumbered by too many scuffles round the marks.
Even further back, Simon Hills, mainsheet now through all the blocks it should be through, was kept in the race by that doughty campaigner Robin Johnson, who had been one of the casualties at the dastardly No 3 and had to sail down river, re-cross and re-round to stay in the race, so both sailors while not having a prayer of winning, had a reason to stay in the race. Having ex-LCSC and now Ranelagh Laser sailor Maury Shenk in our sights gave us good incentive, too.
This should have been how the fleet remained. But this old river always offers something to even up the field. Slowly, slowly, in clear air, Simon and Robin were clawing their way gradually closer to the pack of Lasers led by Clive and then, oh joy of joys, as they saw them stuck in close to the Surrey bank picked up a massive lift in the tideway to bring them right back in contention.
And so, after this gruelling race in light, shifty conditions and a pretty hefty tide, as the six leaders crossed the line ahead, it was a close-knit fleet that, although unable to catch Clive, finished the race with just a few boat lengths between them.
A fascinating, often frustrating race then won on handicap by C.P Edwards from Ranelagh followed by Martin Dixon and Chris W-I in Chris's own MRII design that with its large sail plan revelled in these conditions and was first across the line by a West London country mile, then Val, who despite a good result had a frustrating time out there, and M.J. Gifford from Ranelagh in fourth place.
Credit must be given to Andre Gareh, who when he was Rear Commodore dinghies came up with a plan to host one big race with our neighbours from Ranelagh, Southbank and Strand-on-the-Green rather than many smaller ones. A great fleet of 25 boats on the day and 36 competitors over the weekend surely confirms that the idea has been a great success. Fifty boats next year? We'll really have to think of where to put No 3 if that happens.

- 21 boats from London Corinthians, and Strand on the Green Sailing clubs
- Conditions : South Westerly wind, Force 3
- Course: No 8, No 5, No 1
- Start: 14:50
Sunday saw an almost equally large turnout with 21 boats taking part. The wind was a bit stronger than on Saturday and almost perfect for our area. Here is a view of the race by the race officer.
Well, 21 boats take their time to get on the water, so the race started a bit late. But in the end too many sailors were a bit over-eager and the tide was very strong, so at least half of the fleet ended up way over the line as the start signal went. After a debate of about two seconds between the race officer and the two deputies they decided on a general recall. According to long standing members of the club, something unheard of for at least the last 20 years!
But it all went very smoothly, everybody made their way back behind the startline. The next start was perfect and off they went to No 8 all 21 boats disappearing round the corner past the Chiswick Ait. This is the time when the race officer normally has time for a cup of tea. However, on this occasion, Chris W-I's MRII boat with Martin Dixon at the helm appeared again after only a few minutes, roaring down the river with its spinnaker flying, way ahead of everybody else. Several minutes behind them followed the first Lasers, Val and Phil.
The boats did another three laps around No 5 and No 1 with a lot of close contests around No 1 on all laps, sometimes four boats jostling for position.
In these perfect conditions, the Lasers seemed to be at an advantage over the Enterprises. But one of our visitors from SGSC, J. Armitage in his Enterprise, did exceptionally well finishing 7th overall with more than ten minutes ahead of the second Enterprise!
The finish was a very exciting affair (for the race officer crew anyway!) with several boats finishing within seconds of each other. At this point the race officer was very grateful to have two deputies indeed!
A large event like this is challenging to organise and to run. But it was really fantastic to see so many boats out on the water and especially great to see so many fellow sailors from our neighbouring clubs coming to sail on our stretch of the river. Looking forward to next year!
