Sunday autumn race series gets under way
The day started with a light south easterly breeze and slowly rose and headed to the south during the day.
The Autumn series finally started after there were no takers in the wind and rain last week. Thanks goes to Hannah Bloor for standing in as R.O. for the day. The warm conditions were enjoyed by those helms taking part.
Congratulations to Dan Langdon, who won both the morning and afternoon Summer Series.
Keen racing on Fathers’ Day
A wind from the south-west started light but gusty, rising to fresh for the afternoon race. There was a swimming moment in the afternoon race for one of the Laser helms, who needed rescue from the boom.
The PY for a Gull has been brought forward from older lists. The full club PY list is published on the Racing Sailing Instructions page
Evening sunshine and breezes
It was a beautiful sunny Wednesday evening with the north-easterly breeze holding for the duration of the race. Many of the usual helms were notable for their absence, and missed an enjoyable sail. With just two more Wednesdays left, and discards making a difference, there’s everything to play for.
Sunday Spring Series ends
A sunny day with light and variable north/north westerly breeze that built to a nice fresh breeze after the second race had finished. There were eight starters for both races, but the second race saw a marked split of the front four from the rest of the fleet on the second lap.
Congratulations to Martin and Lynn Harland, who win the morning and afternoon series.
The Summer Series starts next Sunday.
It’s all about the shifts
A sunny Sunday with light, variable and shifty wind. Well done to the Comet Trio of Lynn and Martin Harland sailed a ‘horizon’ job on the rest of the fleet, who suffered the ups and downs of the shifts, to take the lesser positions in both races.
Wednesday and Sunday results now up to date
First Sunday racing
The first of the Spring Series finally started on the 8th April with a light to moderate north westerly breeze. There was some confusion during the morning race so, for fairness, the results are calculated for the first two laps.
Results can be found under the ‘Racing’ tab.
