A glorious day: hot sun, good medium strength north easterly, lovely location, wonderful group of skippers. Yes, you’ve guessed it. A good session of sailing with 14 competitors. A good long course – 1 / 2, 6, 3 , 1,…
Another north-easterly – low to mid strength meant another longish course was possible: 1 / 2 , 6 (sometimes 5) 3,2, sometimes round again, finish A/ 5. Some close racing and, I think, some close sailing (that is tangles!) as…
A truly horrible wind today. Well, not a wind, but a random selection of moving air. As one walks down from the car park to the lake, one sees lovely rippled water – on the other side of the lake,…
Racing was difficult. A variable (direction, strength, puff or no puff) wind, but at least it was sort of down the lake. And it did get hot!. Another problem – not just some weed, but TWIGS! Oliver retired from 2…

Another Phoeeeeee! day. 9 skippers had another exciting day at the lake with another very strong down-the-lake wind. Tony showed us how it should be done, but Dick put in another strong performance. Brian and John R kindly officiated for…
A great session of sailing today. Good wind, great sight of a big fleet of one meters racing on a good course. Ahh – if only every day as like this! 15 skippers enjoyed a down-the-lake-ish wind, giving a good…
A good sailing day but a little chilly compared to the recent lovely warm weather. A reasonably steady westerly wind allowed us to set a long course with two good beats - start 7,8 then 3, 2, 8, 3, 2,…
Just enough wind to keep the fleet happy, but borderline at times. Again a mixture of short and long triangles, 1 or 2 laps, with generally a good variation in points of sailing. We started with a cycle of 5…
It might have been a frosty start to the day, but it wasn’t long before the sun started heating things up – especially all the skippers who had come to lake well wrapped up. The bank soon became littered with…
