Hansa Class UK Annual Report

January 1st – December 31st 2021

Over the winter months at the start and end of 2021, Hansa Class UK continued running Virtual Regatta events for those who were interested, meeting simultaneously on zoom. This gave people an opportunity to interact out of season, and keep their hand in with sailing tactics and strategies. We regularly attracted up to 18 sailors who enjoyed the competition and banter.

The start of 2021 saw the start of the vaccination programme and continued uncertainty over restrictions on movements and gatherings. With many volunteers and sailors being vulnerable, many clubs remained cautious. We put together a speculative programme of events, outlining necessary assessments and adjustments that could be made so that risks were minimised for participants and volunteers. Only two of the planned events had to be cancelled, meaning that 8 Traveller events took place, although some opted for slightly modified formats to make them more manageable. In total 71 sailors took part over the series.

July 31[st] to the 1[st] August saw the return to the Hansa National Championships at Rutland Sailing Club. Numbers were slightly down on pre pandemic seasons, with 30 boats attending. Competition was fierce across the fleets, but off the water there was a good opportunity to start enjoying distanced socialising again. To avoid close contact the AGM was carried out by zoom later in August. This format appears to be more inclusive and popular, not interfering with proceedings at the event, hence it was decided to adopt this approach for 2022. A key outcome from the AGM was the decision to introduce a membership fee of £10 which would be implemented from March 2022.

Over the season we ran 3 Fun Regattas aimed at new sailors and volunteers to get into Hansas in a less competitive environment. One event was run at Whitefriars, with two more being held at a new venue for us, the Midland Sailing Club in Birmingham. This was a collaboration between the club, RYA coaching, and Hansa providing the boats.

The Hansa van and 6 boat rig was used throughout the season to great effect. Sailors who have found it difficult to get boats to events, or who don’t own their own boats were able to participate. We are very grateful to the volunteers who transported the boats, and to those who helped with the rigging and loading.

The pandemic continued to affect travel throughout 2021, and a decision was made to not support a GB team to attend the Hansa World Championships in Palermo, Sicily. It was deemed to be to much of a risk regarding the necessary investment for the transportation of boats. However, closer to the event, World Sailing agreed to transport the boats to help with their development programme. This enabled some GB sailors to attend, and achieve 2 podium places; Rory McKinna was 3[rd] in the 303 fleet, as was Paul Philips in a Liberty.
