Autumn Settles In

The nights may drawing in, with the winds more fickle (is that really possible?), and the water’s getting colder, but there were several hardy individuals that took to the water this weekend (with one or two still in shorts!). Saturday saw the end of the GP14 Autumn Cup, with Ken and Val Bell hopeful of another trophy, but sailing secretary Hugh Godfrey’s appearance on the water resulted in them being pipped at the post – both had 5 points, but Hugh had the best results and secured the trophy.

The handicap fleet found the conditions very testing, and Steve Hunt was in the unusual position of being beaten! However, he got his act together for the second race, to take pole position and the series.

Sunday’s racing for the October Series was on a personal handicap basis. The winds were again challenging – Neil Currie couldn’t work out why he couldn’t take more advantage of the split wind coming from the North and East, while most people were just glad they at least some wind to take them around the course. It was the GPs that came out best on handicap, with Leila Cook and Sue Watson in the lead up to the final weekend of the series at the end of the month.

Next weekend is the final weekend series of the championship year, so turn out and and see if you can improve your position in the championship – that prizegiving isn’t far away!
