An extra hour in bed did nothing in terms of allowing the wind to fill in – it was mirror-like!
The forecast was not for strong winds, so it may have been some time before we got a decision on when racing could start.… Read full article “Slow Sunday”
Again the effects of Sale Fell were well and truly felt across all fleets as the SSW wind swung round it resulting in two opposing winds with a nasty calm bit in the middle (just where the windward mark was!).

As forecast, the blustery winds have passed through leaving good racing conditions for the fleet and their early start (Shame Jim Christie thought he was starting at 10.30 too!)
A fleet of 13 boats are taking part in this year’s event, and according to our F15 fleet captain, they had the worst start ever!… Read full article “F15 Team Racing”
Although the forecast was not very promising, the wind did fill in to get racing underway, but it then started to swing more to the East.
