Sunday Sailing Results 23rd Feb 2020
Well, that was some session of racing! An optimistic start with B rigs soon became carnage with C’s. In fact even before briefing John M had a mishap in the car park – damaging his on-boat-already C rig – no…
Friday Sailing Results 21st Feb 2020
A robust session of sailing today. A good ‘B’ suit wind, more consistent than usual, except from the occasional vortices or holes which left boats flapping uselessly. While it was good to see our old friend buoy #1 back again…
Sunday Sailing Results 16th Feb 2020
Despite the forecast, it was A suit to start (except Tom in B), but soon 4 of the rest changed down to B as well, leaving Phil on A. We all changed back again to A for race 6! It…

14 skippers had a mixed session – cold but warming up; light variable wind becoming quite gusty – but still variable. Direction – just westerly enough to give a goodish wind from about A outwards – close in was the…

Sunday Sailing Results 26th Jan 2020
The wind looked perfect on the lake – beyond the buoys that is. Inside the buoy ‘envelope’ almost completely flat. The wind did move round a little during the day but keeping offshore was worthwhile with a course of A/5,3,2,5,3,2,5,A/D…
Sunday Marblehead Sailing 19th Jan 2020
At the start of the morning there was virtually no wind so, bearing in mind that we had to complete a minimum of 5 races, the course for the first race was: start between buoys A&B, finish between the blue…
Friday Sailing Results 17th January 2020
Well, what a session. I’m not sure why we were all so optimistic and started with A rig – except sensible JM who looked at the forecast – or maybe just didn’t re-rig from last Sunday. Anyway – those that…
