Autumn series

Sunday 9th November: the day was mainly cloudy, and became chillier as the cloud thickened; it stayed dry though. The wind was around southerly, F2-3 or F4, but swung between SW and SE, leading to something of a lottery as it blew into the lake along different channels. Eleven boats started in the morning race, and nine in the afternoon.

Winner of the morning race was Carol, with Giles next and then James. Tim and Paul still hold on to first and second place in the series, and Carol's win brings her up to third.

In the afternoon race, SteveMc was the winner; JohnL was second and Giles third. The series places are all changed, with James now leading, Paul down to second, and SteveMc in at third.

We follow this two-race pattern for the rest of the Autumn series, going on until the end of the year. All these races are now handicaps.

Different next week

Next week's racing is on Saturday, 15th November, not the Sunday. This is because the lake is reserved for a national kayak championship on the Sunday. No sailing at all. These Saturday races will be included in the Autumn series, and will be scheduled for 12:00 and 13:45, as usual. The following week, and for the rest of the year, we are back to Sundays.

A reminder for race officers: if your race result sheets are not collected from you on the day, it would be helpful if you could email (yes, good old Email) a copy to the address at the bottom of the form. A big thank you to all of you who help in this way.
