Sunny Sunday

Overnight rain had passed through leaving a slightly lighter breeze than Saturday, but there were many sunny spells.

In the GPs Andy/Phil joined in to challenge Dave/Lynn, succeeded in winning the first race. John/Jack led the next race, but there were some cruel shifts on each of the beats that Dave/Lynn mastered to work up from third to win the race with Andy 2nd.

Steve/Ruth in a Merlin led both races in the handicap race, and despite not being able to fly their spinnaker in the second race, took two wins with Stan in a Solo 2nd.

Katia was getting used to her Topper in the slow handicap race against Mik. Despite Mik being late for the start, he made enough ground on Katia to beat her in both races

Saturdays Are Back!

The long awaited return of Saturday racing coincided with (what would have been) the start of Bass Week 2020! What fantastic sailing weather it was too – sun and a great wind.

In the strong fleet of eight GPs, Val/Ken took an early lead, and promptly capsized at a gybe mark! There woes did not end there because in the next race they had spinnaker problems (on the beat!) before retiring. Dave/Lynn went on to win both races but John/Jack were snapping at their heels, taking two 2nds.

In the handicap fleet, Mike realised the hard way that nipping in at the start pin is not the done thing when racing against Neil Currie, who has just joined in the Solo fleet. Having been forced out, Mike struggled to get moving again, and ended up giving the rest of the fleet a two minute start. Ant/Pen in a Vision made the most of the conditions to win the first race on handicap ahead of Rory in a Solo. Rory was runner up again in the next race, this time to Neil who presently leads the series.

Paul sailed a Pico in the slow handicap fleet winning both races from Mik in his Mirror.
