Sunday Sailing Results 12th Jan 2020
9 skippers squelched their way to the lake this morning. 8 confident that it was a A rig, with one ‘forecast believer’ B rig. Well – for the first race it was top end A, followed by a borderline wind.…
Friday Sailing Results 10th Jan 2020
Some exotic course setting before briefing was nearly discarded as the wind shifted, but a close variant proved the most appropriate after a slightly delayed start. 7/8 start, 4p, Ds, 3p, 8s, 4p, Ds, 3s, 8s, D/A finish. Well most…
Sunday Sailing Results 5th January 2020
Not quite as muddy, not quite as cold, not quite as sunny, not quite as windy, and not quite the same direction. Otherwise, business as usual for the 12 skippers down at the lake today. The wind was just southerly…
Friday sailing Results 3rd Jan 2020
The 2020 racing season started cold and muddy but with a little sunshine. And wind. Not the best – sort of on-shore-ish but very swirly. 12 skippers (and 2 non-sailing) squelched to the lake for a challenging session of racing…
Sunday RM Sailing Results 29th Dec 2019
Another challenging RM day with a light variable southerly wind. We managed to complete just 6 races by using a mixture of short triangular courses in an effort to get at least one beat. We all wondered if the "Marbleheaders"…
Friday Sailing Results 27th Dec 2019
Only 6 came today to find no wind as per forecast. A shortish course was set but each leg had a mixture of beating, reaching and running and dead calm. Only 5 races were completed with all on. Marblehead racing…
Sunday Sailing Results 22nd Dec 2019
Still muddy, still winter – but a bit of blue sky and the days are getting longer again. Shame about the weed though. 11 skippers had a mixed day – a couple of late arrivals; a reverse rudder on Phil’s…
Friday Sailing Results 20th Dec 2019
10 skippers brought their W suits today (think about it – answers on postcards) but the forecasters weren’t entirely accurate. The wind was just westerly enough to give us a 7/7 start,3,2,6,3,2,6,blues, although for a few races we used 5…
Sunday Sailing Results 16th Dec 2019
Indeed the wind was a tad more southerly and slightly less than Friday. A good ‘A’ rig strength but still westerly enough to set a reasonable triangular course of 7/6, 3,2,6,3,2,6,blues. This was reduced to a smaller triangle as the…
Friday Sailing 13th December 2019
Wind, wind, wind – lots of wind! Enough to get the ‘B’ rigs on and wash the decks on the runs. It was a bit attritional though. 11 skippers quickly became 10 as Peter had a rig breakage before he…
