That Sinking Feeling!

Championship No Comments

Saturday fought off several showers to leave a sunny afternoon but not a lot of wind – not a day for leaving out a bung as one RS sailor discovered to his horror at the end of the day! The Celebrity Glass Trophy was held on an all fleet handicap basis. Steve Hunt led the way in his new boat for the first race, but it was birthday boy Robbie D that showed the way in the 2nd race. Mike Moore pulled through Keith Jamieson to be lead F15 in each race, Eric Smith crewing for his son in Mike Fairlamb’s GP led the GP fleet (but retired in the 2nd race), and Tim Smith held off Mike Chappell in the mirrors.

Sunday was the day many seemed to be fighting off the effects of a long night socialising. Mark N won the prize for the longest lie in – 2pm! Sailing wise there was plenty of wind and many capsizes. An ineffective hooter on the finish line left Robbie D and Scumper sailing an extra sausage just to make sure all their efforts around the course didn’t go to waste.

Sunday’s forecast was for more wind, and with a westerly breeze at times it looked like quite a good sail (from the clubhouse), but then the sun would come out, highlight all the tops of the waves and suddenly sailing no longer seemed like a good idea. Telf and Adny were first to rig their boat, but it was to be Dave and Lynn Lawson that took to the water first. At this stage the RS fleet were still not convinced that sailing was a good idea, but then Shunty had gone to the effort of rigging his boat again, and Scumper and Zefer had taken to the water, so the others followed suit, but the OD had to wait (perhaps Scumper was practising for being on time for his wedding next week!?) until all four RS400s were ready before starting their race. Meanwhile the GPs were powering around their course in strong, but sailable, winds. Telf, being the lead boat, had not taken account of a leg from 0 to 8 which required 9 to be rounded, not just passed. This quirk of the course had everyone else pirouetting around 9 – something you can do without when in the middle of a screaming reach.

Mark 9 was also to prove a downfall for Scumper who did not manage to get the gennaker down before rounding and lost a place to Robbie D while retrieving it. As the wind had picked up significantly before the final lap, some felt that it was a bit of a penance for being late! However, the race had decided the series, and there were no takers for the final race

April Showers

Racing No Comments

In fact there was possibly everything apart from what is expected in terms of April showers – sleet, hail, bright sunshine and a cold breeze.

Sleet/snow and gale force winds on Saturday morning put many off apart from Mike Moore who had travelled up from Preston led the fleet in both races and won both on handicap from Sam Hall and Roy Blackburn. By the second race the wind had eased so much that Robbie D shortened the course to make sure it didn’t become a drifter.

Sunday was equally strange weather wise, bright sunshine with a good force 2/3, but the threat of sleet or hail didn’t seem too far away. With Mike Moore as OD and Neil Currie as official starter for the day, it was recommended to be over the line. However, Dave Nicholson was and was hailed back, but Mike Fairlamb must have had a conscience of some sort as he too went back even though he was clear of the line! However it did not seem to affect him too much as he was soon on Dave Lawson’s tail. On the final beat Dave went one way, and Mike the other which made all the difference and Mike finished first with a good lead.

In the handicap fleet, consistency ruled; the adjusted handicap positions matched the finishing order on the water for both races, with Robbie D securing two firsts.

Gluttons for Punishment?

Racing No Comments

Is this a sign of things to come? The second racing day of the season was only slightly less windy than the first. Steve Hunt took Kayla out in the RS400 to see if she still likes it before changing fleet from the lark. Just as well she’s used to capsizing as, yes, they ended up in the water again, and her shorty didn’t afford any protection to those knees, which had quite a glow when she returned to shore.

Racing was slightly delayed while various sailors plucked up the courage to put up sails and get on the water. William and Elaine opted for afternoon tea with Bridget! Mike Fairlamb had competition (in the nicest sense of the word) in the GPs from the Hodgkins boys, although they tried their best to catch him up, the odd couple of capsizes did not help them and they retired.

Robbie D and Toggle took the lead in the handicap fleet, but Steve and Ruth pulled through to finish with a good lead. Roy took Kayla for her second swim of the day – what would her knees be like now? Scumper jack went out to play in the second race with Phil Hodgkins, and they were to capsize before the start. Robbie D led the first beat but capsized just before the leeward mark. Although Steve was second at that stage, it was to be Scumper that led the following beat. An early gybe on to a gust just after the windward mark seemed to be a good move, but the gust strangthened, they didn’t sit back, and went swimming. Again, Steve held second place while Robbie D took the lead! The final result was Robbie D, Scumper and Steve.

Sunday was not so pleasant – wet, cold and generally windless! The wind seemed to fill in before the start but by the end of the first beat it had faded to a drifter. Scumper took an early lead but Robin pulled through on the final run to win by a smidgen. In the GPs, Lyn and David Lawson made a triumphant return, winning the morning race. The afternoon pennant, which was held in drifting conditions for the first hour to the windward mark, but when rounding for the return home, the wind swung back to the north and started to fill in. William and Jonathan had secured a small lead by the windward mark, but nowhere near sufficient to win on handicap, and the change of wind direction did nothing to help them out. Nigel and Cecile, in a GP, won overall when the results were calculated on a personal handicap basis.

Let the Racing Commence

Racing No Comments

You’ll note from the activity on the webcam that something’s afoot. Yes many people have been enjoying the mild weather and getting their boats ready for the off. Ginge couldn’t wait and so went out in his laser, and then again in the GP. He was very nearly the first to capsize this season as well (but didn’t)

Steve is excitedly waiting for his new boat, but was disturbed when watching the CCTV to note his camper van being driven off! He ran off in a panic only to discover that it was just a similar van to his.

As for the racing, deputy official starter Pete Nuttall had got up early out of his bed and wasn’t going to hang around for any namby pamby sailors deciding whether they should go out to sail. The fact that it was honking seemed to have nothing to with anything!. Pete declared that racing would start at 11.30 and he went out with OD Mik Chappell to get things going. There was a flurry of activity as five boats prepared themselves for the first race of the season. Bridget turned up in her Sunday best, only to find a cup of tea was the preferred option. William was easily tempted to join her so they could watch how things progressed. Roy and Kayla were the first to go in their lark (having opted not to try out an RS400), Ian Macpherson followed in his laser, and then Toggle and Robbie D ventured out in an RS400 followed by Steve and Ruth. It was noticeable that the wind had increased because spectators could see white horses looking down wind! As they approached the start line, there was the first capsize of the day – Toggle blamed it on the centreboard coming up! Although they managed to right the boat, they went in several more times and ended up being towed ashore. Steve and Ruth went swimming as well, they also struggled to right the boat but, with a little help, they were back in the boat and sailing home. Ian and Roy had already seen sense and returned home. If racing had commenced at 1130 UTC (not BST), it would still have been windy, but things were somewhat more manageable. Such is life

Perhaps racing will start next week?!

Eye of the Storm

News No Comments

After a week of wind and floods, many boats have been removed from site for safe storage or repair!

As you can see from the webcam, Sunday started with a fantastic mist that was lit by the morning sun. In fact the glorious weather continued all day, but without wind, and consequently without racing. Don’t be surprised if the views turn up in calendars for 2007!

Mik and team brought in the Bates to stop it wandering off on day trips (twice this week!), and it promptly slid off due to not being tied to the trailer when Mik tried a racing start on the tractor, but we’re assured there was no damage. For everyone waiting for the final pennant race of the season, it won’t be a round the laker as the bottom end marks have now been removed for the season.

The first Sunday’s racing was in dry, but very blustery conditions. William and Lesley caught a gust coming in to a gybe mark, but trying to stay to windward of the mark during the gust was not the right thing to do, and they ended up capsized on the mark. Having righted the boat and u lassooing themselves from the mark they continued the race. But while they were over, all but Jim Christie capsized as well. Jose thought Ginge was running off with the other woman when he fell out of the back of the boat, but managed to hold on to the mainsheet and rescue the boat (and Jose, of course) from who knows what?! Jim’s caution kept him upright, and he won the race on personal handicap, only to have his handicap chopped by 5% for subsequent races.

The afternoon race had more gybe marks and even bigger squalls. William and Lesley picked up a gust coming in to the first gybe mark, and went for another swim, but managed to right the boat and continued the race again. Jim maintained his caution, and avoided flying his spinnaker, but also had problems with a broken toestrap, and a universal tiller joint that may not have survived another lap. He again won on the water, but his amended handicap led to Ginge winning the race, and becoming series leader.

The following three weekends sailing were cancelled due to glorious weather and lack of wind causing the series to be determined on the first weekends sailing, so Jose and Ginge are the first winners for the 2006 prize giving

Night of a Thousand Stars

Racing Socials No Comments

Despite the weather throughout the day and the rest of the country, the night was clear and the stars shining during the bonfire night celebrations during which there was a magnificent array of fireworks. With hot dogs, toffee apples, treacle toffee and soup to hand, everyone had a great evening. The bonfire was moved to higher ground, and we were in desperate need of an arsonist to get the damp wood alight, but it was done!

Remember there’s only three weeks left. If you don’t intend sailing you would be well advised to make sure your boat is away from the high water level as the lake is presently very high, and several trailers along the lower slip are already in water.

That was the sentiment at the start of the final weekend series towards this year’s championships. However, on a cold, wet Saturday, with a feeble wind, the turnout was down to a few hardy sailors. In the handicap fleet, Steve Hunt would re-appear at the top of the championship table so long as he won or Neil Currie didn’t secure 15 points from the series, and Robin Dawson didn’t secure 16 points. With a low turn-out on Saturday, and a poor wind forecast for Sunday, Steve’s took the championship again, but may well have to work harder for it next year!


The Mirror fleet turned out in force (three boats!) to enter what was to be only the second championship series of the year. Rob, or was it Tim, Smith held out on Saturday to win both races from Mike Chappell – But what would Sunday bring?


The GP fleet thought better of it this weekend as there was no opportunity to catch and overtake sailing secretary Hugh Godfrey’s lead in the championship. As for the Flying 15s, they seem to have burnt themselves out and packed up for the rest of the season – perhaps they’re saving themselves for next year?

What does the heading refer to?�The OD?�- No.�A helm?�- No.�A crew?�- No. It was the conditions on Saturday! Although there had been a strong breeze over Friday night and into Saturday morning, by the time racing started, what little wind there�was,�was all over the place. A slight swell from the south; wind patches in which the wind came from a different direction to the ripples on the water; even burgees were indicating totally different conditions to those filling the sails! It certainly seemed like it was pot luck, and necessary to be in the right place at the right time. All this made it very much harder for Robin Dawson to stay in with a chance of winning the handicap championship. He was working off the basis that he needed a 4th from two races to knock Neil off pole position, but it was only while waiting for some boats to finish that it was pointed out that he would have had better control of the situation by being OD, taking a 3rd and cancelling the last race! Hindsight’s a wonderful thing. Did he do the necessary? You’ll have to wait and see….


Tim Smith and Mike Chappell battled it out to win the first mirror trophy of the season! However, with two straight wins Tim took the trophy.


Saturday evening had naughty nighties and knickers, thongs �n� things, girls’ toys and all sorts of unmentionables when Ann Summers’ rep came to the club. Everyone was in the�swing(?) of things especially with the pass the parcel forfeits, including demonstrating air hostess uniforms, what not to do with large vegetables (and getting certificates to prove it!), and being careful to look but not touch some of the exhibits. To see the photos�click here�(Wonderful thing these camera phones NB Not for the feint hearted!)


Sunday began with threateningly high gusts, and Tim did go for a swim before the start, but the start came and the wind went, leaving all but Steve and Ruth to drift around the course in a relatively close bunch. In the afternoon, the winds seemed to have settled down, but it was not to be the case.
