| FLOOD DAMAGE UPDATE: 19th FebWe had a very constructive meeting yesterday with the claim manager and the professionals who are helping us with the repair of the clubhouse. The scope of the repairs has been agreed and we can now proceed to a more detailed specification and costing. We are also closer to placing an order for the temporary buildings that we shall require through this year’s sailing season. At its meeting on 27 February, the Management Committee will focus on the plans for the season: there is a lot to do before sailing begins in just over five weeks’ time.
Andrew Smith, Hon Secretary

The Tempest Fleet
|
|
|
 |
|
 There are up to 10 Tempests out frequently at ullswater making it one of the best classes to sail for competitive class racing.
The Tempest is a keelboat designed by Ian Proctor. The Tempest has an unusual aspect in that it is a keelboat but also has a trapeze, a rigging element usually only found on certain dinghies. As a result the Tempest is just as exciting to sail as fast dinghies, but is much more forgiving and is unable to be capsized. Due to the planing hull shape and large sailplan, the Tempest is remarkably fast when sailing on a reach, and speeds in excess of 15 kts are not uncommon in moderate winds.
Tempests are sailed actively throughout the world with fleets in Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, United Kingdom, North America and Australia.
