Sun Shines on the Righteous
A glorious morning of sunshine but mirror like conditions was not what the sailors expected to find when they arrived, and it was not as the forecast. Flurries of air passed over the lake from time to time, but it started to come in with more gusto just after 11.30 enabling racing to get underway by 12.15.… Read full article “Sun Shines on the Righteous”
Not Many Left!
Cool but otherwise perfect conditions set the scene for the start of the Winter Series. The fleet of thirteen boats set off in a good breeze to keep the sailors active and warm in the cool airs. The asymmetrics even managed to plane for a while on the main reach.… Read full article “Not Many Left!”

Sunny Sunday
Sunday started with a light SW breeze. Not sure whether Hugh had slept in, or was just being casual, but the OD opted to delay starting the race until Hugh could get to the line. It did him no harm as he quickly had the lead in the asymmetric fleet, but it would soon be a case of all change as the lead changed a couple of times, first by the Hardies in their RS200, and then by the Hallidays in their RS400.… Read full article “Sunny Sunday”
GP14 Worlds
Three boats from the club ventured to Looe in Cornwall to take parts in the GP14 Worlds. All three came away with fantastic results after eight races in challenging conditions.
