Following the excess wind and rain leading up to the weekend, all the sailors had to contend with was sunshine and showers. The winds were light, and racing on Sunday was delayed waiting for the wind to fill in. Attempts to sail the final race were abandoned.… Read full article “GP Open”

Mark Somerville won another handicap series, Scott Beattie and John Somerville had their first sail in many months (or is it this season?)… Read full article “Short Series”
Thank You!

Writing to thank you, Elaine, the council and the rest of the club for agreeing to our wedding reception being held at the club.
We had an absolutely fantastic day, one to remember for sure! We hope that everyone who came had a great time.… Read full article “Thank You!”
Sunday
The initial forecast of wind and rain seemed to be correct, and as the boats prepared for the race the wind seemed to pick up. However, once the racing was under way the stronger gusts had eased and the sailors had to contend with shifts being dependant on where the gusts were coming from.… Read full article “Sunday”
The Morning After the DAY Before
Following yesterday’s wedding celebrations, many of the guests were surprisingly bright after having danced the night away into the early hours. Photos will follow (when someone sends them to me!)
Some of the tales of woe
Scandal – Andy T was black balled in (not from) the club (make of that what you will)
Joanie was unusually under the weather (did the champagne have anything to do with it?)… Read full article “The Morning After the DAY Before”

Wedding Celebrations

Bank Holiday Monday
The forecast was for more wind than Sunday, but there was considerably less as the boats were rigged. By the time the boats were on the water the wind had filled in and looked considerably more promising but, as ever, there were some big shifts to contend with and as a result the fleets were all well intermingled at the windward mark.… Read full article “Bank Holiday Monday”
Well Done Team Bass!
As expected, the wind eased for the second day of the handicap open meeting. With an earlier than usual start the OD was able to run all three races.
The wind shifts may have been subtle, but they could be deadly and several places changed as a result.… Read full article “Well Done Team Bass!”
