Friday Sailing

Good wind from the west greeted the 14 members and the weather was warm and sunny. This allowed the setting of long courses that were changed as the wind swung during racing.

12 skippers at the lake who had a south westerly wind. This meant that there was little wind close to the bank so a course was set to keep out in the lake. David Adam only just avoided having to…

With an awful weather forecast only 7 members came for today’s racing. The course was start 1-2 up to 5, then 3 - 2 finish A-B. The wind was very variable through the trees so was very inconsistent (even for…

Good wind down the lake, good weather and 13 skippers.

We welcomed another new skipper to the club this morning: Trevor, sail 64. That’s now endless J’s, 3 D’s, 2 T’s, 2 O’s, 2 P’s: come on K, R and B! It was a fair to middling wind this morning…

Another so-so wind. Sometimes quite steady for a race or so. Then variable for a race or so. We did manage a triangular course of reasonable length so (!) it wasn’t so (!!!!) bad. A couple of ‘old friends’ on…

Enough of a north westerly-ish wind to give us some good long beats up to #3 from a 7 / 8 (then A / 5) start, then back via #2 to 8 (later, A) with a blues finish (sometimes 2/3).…

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,…
