Congratulations to Lesley following her marriage to Andrew yesterday. Hopefully we’ll see her back at the front end of William’s boat some time during Bass Week
What a Disaster!
….or so it would seem as there seemed to be so many people whinging after the morning race. First there was the OD arriving early to see a lake with very little wind and wanting to abandon at 11am, but he was assured by William that the wind would have filled in by 11.30, and it did!… Read full article “What a Disaster!”
Belated update
The Thursday night series continues to be very well attended and many junior members are gaining good positions. Last week some very young members were taking the leading positions. Ethan Dawson aged 8 sailing with dad Robin and Robert Cruickshank aged 6 sailing with dad Julian both tied for first place once the handicap was calculated. … Read full article “Belated update”
GP Open
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”

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
Congratulations to Andy and Emma following their wedding earlier this afternoon. The celebrations will continue on throughout the evening
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”
