An eventful day’s sailing. Hugh got entangled near boy 1 and Trevor’s attempt to rescue him failed after several attempts, Hugh’s boat seemed to be moored to the lake bottom by something. Then Trevor’s rescue boat got the rescue line…
Well at least the wind direction and therefor the course was different today – the ‘usual’ one was getting a bit worn out. A decent-ish wind – with some exciting squalls gave the 10 skippers 9 races, many with close…
An inauspicious start (dull, light airs) turned out to be a good days sailing. A dozen skippers experienced a decently steady wester-ish breeze giving us a couple of long windward legs. The course varied slightly during the session but was…
13 skippers didn’t contend with weed, but did have to put up with a fickle wind – indeed it seemed to blow upwards in vortexes as much as across the lake. Nevertheless, we managed 8 races - 5 with observers…
10 skippers had 10 races and a fair amount of weed ( a lot for JM) in a fairish north westerly. The final totals don’t really reflect the racing - a range of race winners with some last gasp place-changing…
Decedent wind from the west – bit variable at times. 10 skippers managed 10 races around a longish course (6/7 start, then A/C, 2,3,7, (later 5), twice and finish blues). Intense racing as mistakes cost places. June_11_race_officer June_11_observer
10 skippers enjoyed (!?) a wet, variable north-easterly wind and RACED. Yes – raced – with results. We need to get into the routine of starting on time…….and remembering how to observe/fill in results. IOM’s and some RM’s on Sunday.…
Not as warm or sunny as promised by the BBC weather forecast but a good top suit breeze straight down the lake. With buoy 3 set well out from the bank it was decided to avoid the usual mayhem when…
A nice change in the weather compared to the last few weeks. Sun (but not quite tee shirts and shirts yet), and a decentish A rig wind. Well, not the easiest wind to set a course, but OK for the…
Drip, squelch, flap. Flap, drip, squelch...... What an awful morning to be lakeside, with 8 skippers wishing they hadn’t bothered. And to cap it all, having decided that 4 races was enough to get a discard and go home, we…
