It's taken us a long hard slog to get the calculation and presentation of our series scoring together, so rather than other clubs trying to re-invent the wheel, I am happy to share what we use, our spread sheet follows the MYA best 5 out of 7/ 5 out of 9 events etc... and all the calculations are completed for you, the scores will also calculate to 2 decimal points, which breaks most ties, I can't take any credit for the workbook, this has been produced by the very clever Henry Farley, it will accommodate up to 18 events. Along with Afleet for our bankside scoring this has been a game changer for my admin post racing, clearly I am very happy to share the work book, and if needed can do a very quick zoom tutorial (it wont take long its that easy)  you can see our series scores on our web site https://hryc.co.uk/series-results-2024/ 

Hi Guys, I am new here, so please excuse me if this is not in the right part of the forum. My Dad and I were founder members of the Basildon & District Model Yacht Club, in the early 70s.  Dad went on to become a successful Marblehead skipper, and I believe he became National Champion at least once. I thought I had already posted here a year or more ago, when I found an old yacht in my parents loft, which I had built (with a lot of help from my Dad) as a young teenager (52 years ago), but as  I can find no mention of my (imagined?) post here, that was possibly another forum. The 36R model is from a Vic Smeed design called the Gosling. It was of very light construction, and when it was complete, the structure was so airtight, the deck could be seen bulging if the boat was left in sun. I decided that was probably not good for its longevity and elected to drill a 1/16" diameter breather hole through the deck a few inches aft of the mast. After a few sessions sailing it, I decided girls were quite good fun, and it stayed in the loft until I had to deal with my parents estate. Despite the huge swings in humidity and temperature in the roof space of their semi-detached chalet, the model survived its time in storage totally unscathed. I like to think that was helped by giving it a vent. Anyhow, when we get time, my wife (whom I discovered a couple of years after building the Gosling) and I go to Maldon boating lake and sail the model. It fits in the car fully rigged.  Please feel free to add your photos and stories below (or tell me where to repost this).
