The weekend arrived with a forecast of showers, and strong, gusting winds. AJ needed to double check the wind conditions before choosing which boat in his fleet to sail. It didn’t take much persuasion to opt for his F15. Others in the F15 fleet saw the white horses on the far side of the lake and nervously opted to race.… Read full article “Riding the White Horses”
Summer has arrived!
For what felt like the first time this season, there was sun and a genuinely warm, but light breeze.
Though there was initially a northerly breeze, the sea breeze soon caused the wind to back and the beat was no more.… Read full article “Summer has arrived!”
Mirror Open
A fleet of 10 Mirrors enjoyed sunny conditions with a good wind to boot in a one day open meeting. Past Sailing Sec Roy, sailing with Daisy, was a premature starter but slow to return to the pre-start side, losing almost 3 mins in the process!… Read full article “Mirror Open”
Sunny Bank Holiday
Glorious sunny morning, but no wind led to a mirror like lake. Mid morning brought a light breeze which swung and strengthened from the west for some good sailing conditions. The sun was so tempting, many wore their summer shorts/gear despite the chill wind.… Read full article “Sunny Bank Holiday”

Sunday’s forecast threatened to be wet and windy, fortunately there was not too much of the former, and it was not quite as blustery as Saturday either!
In the morning, a fleet of six in the handicap fleet was led by Steve, with guest appearance of Elaine (she obviously managed to unlock those bar chains!),… Read full article “and Then There Were Three..”

Sunday Roundup
Sunday started off wet and blustery, but as the morning went on the gusts eased (well some of them did!).
The wind had a massive curve in it such that the expected beat up the eastern shore was nearly a fetch to 5, followed by some wallowing (Ian reckoned he was going backwards at one stage) in the shade of Sale Fell before the gusts kicked in again (which caught several people out).… Read full article “Sunday Roundup”
Pursuit Underway
The Celebrity Glass Pursuit got underway on a sunny Saturday afternoon with a strong breeze to boot. There was some confusion with the start sequence when a Topper unexpectedly appeared on the start line, but Herb was on the ball and kept everything in order.… Read full article “Pursuit Underway”
Weekend Sailing 9/10 June
This weekend’s championship series got off to a great start with a steady westerly breeze which gave rise to some good planing conditions.
