Summer Regatta

The promising weather forecast brought out a score of sailors, keen to take part in the Summer Regatta. It was warm enough, though cloudy, with the possibility of showers. The wind soon got up to a mainly WNW F3-4, which lasted for the two morning races. There was a shower at the end of the lunch break, then the wind dropped and became shifty for the first afternoon race. After that there was a pause of half an hour or so, while a thunderstorm rolled past to the south, then a decent wind, slightly more northerly, came back for the final race.

Carol made a clean sweep, winning all four races, and with them the overall prize. CharlieD came second overall, with two seconds and a sixth. The other two second places went to Dave and Tim, but their other races kept them out of the podium places, and James was third with two thirds and a fourth. Full details are on the regatta results page.

There was general agreement that we enjoyed a good day's competitive racing, well organised by JohnL, MikeA and TonyD. Thanks to all.

Friday Series

After four weeks of the pursuit series, Carol is top with three firsts, SteveMc is second, and AndyW third.

Sunday series update

At the end of the two Spring series, SteveMc is the winner of the morning series, Chris is second, and Richard third. SteveMc has also won afternoon series, just a fraction of a point ahead of MikeW; and, with all duty credits now taken into account, Paul is third. (Updated 5th July)

Next week, we make a start on the two Summer series - the Mornings and the Afternoons, following the same pattern as the Springs. These run through to late September (no August mini-series this year).
