After a busy Bass Week, with another windy forecast, the enthusiasm for racing has yet to return. The few sailors that turned up decided racing wouldn�t be close enough, so racing was cancelled for the day.
Next week�s long bank holiday weekend is bound to be very busy !
With Bass Week 24 starting on Saturday, a final working party to finalise preparations will be held on Tuesday from 10am. All help will be welcomed.

To bring the regatta to a close, the schedule today is two races on the orange course and three on the black course with the prize giving later this afternoon
Thursday was full on, with 5 races on the Orange and Black courses and a disco late into the evening. Thankfully the wind gods played ball, with west-south-west winds blowing consistently most of the day.
The day started overcast but with a good southerly for the Mount Haes knockout. As soon as the first race was underway the wind eased, then the sun appeared, and later the wind faded more to the extent that race 5 was abandoned.
During the lunch break the SW sea breeze kicked in, offering steadier conditions for the continuation and completion of the series. The semi finals were particularly close racing. In the final, Derbyshire took an early lead, which strengthened throughout the race, so had a convincing win. Well done to all competitors.
While the Mount Haes knockout was progressing there were separate races for Rookie All Comers, Single Handers, and All Comers Pursuit (Click link for results)
