Everyone should have been delighted that there was a weekend of sun with a warm wind, but for the sailors the biggest frustration was that the wind was by no means steady. The first race on Saturday had boats beating on three of the four legs.… Read full article “Frustration in the Sun”
Pot Hunters Clean Up!
With the summer on its last legs (or so it seemed), the hot balmy days of the past week were a bit of a distant memory asthe the air cooled and the weather front moved in from Ireland bringing blustery wind and rain.… Read full article “Pot Hunters Clean Up!”
Spring is Over
Yes, you may not have realised it, but the Spring (Cup) has come to an end following an afternoon’s racing in hot, muggy conditions with the added bonus of fair winds if only you could get to them! The morning southerly breeze which all the potential newcomers to the club enjoyed, was challenged and counteracted by an afternoon sea breeze.… Read full article “Spring is Over”
Abersoch Innit?
Congratulations to Keith Jamieson and Maf Smith on attaining second overall in the Flying Fifteen Classic Nationals held at Abersoch last week. Word has it he was beaten by age!

Bank Holiday Weekend
Although Saturday started off relatively mild, strong gusts had been passing over the lake all morning. By the time racing started, the rain had moved in and the gusts were coming down vertically and things didn’t improve much apart from the sun coming out later in the day.… Read full article “Bank Holiday Weekend”
Y Viva Espana
A Spanish fancy dress evening was held at the club on Sunday. Of course Manuel was there causing havoc….
Sailing has been challenging with unsettled winds all weekend so far. When it did blow there was some good planing, but there were many holes to be buried in.… Read full article “Y Viva Espana”

It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over
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.… Read full article “It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over”
Clueless!?
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.… Read full article “Clueless!?”
