A poor forecast of wet weather and gusting winds led to a small collection of sailors turning out to race. While they waited for more to appear the wind looked acceptably sailable though somewhat wet. By the time the decision was made that there was enough interest, a rescue contingent was pulled together, and boats were prepared, the more blustery conditions suddenly appeared, and Lynn Lawson led the retreat!… Read full article “Put Off By Forecast”
Weekend Series
A long overdue dry weekend brought with it a good force 4 to exercise and challenge the fleets for another championship weekend series. A swinging wind swung the wrong way, as far as the beat was concerned, and resulted in a one sided beat which might explain some of the results for the first race.… Read full article “Weekend Series”
Ullock Mug etc

Indeed many were pleasantly surprised by the strength of the breeze that led to a few capsizes, and some good planing conditions.… Read full article “Ullock Mug etc”
Sultry Saturday
A cloudy start to the day cleared offering mainly sunny spells throughout the afternoon. With no wind at home, several people who turned up were surprised by the strength of the wind as there was some white horses. It again blew from the NE though at 22C it was warmer than recently, and warmer than many other areas of the country!… Read full article “Sultry Saturday”

For various reasons there weren’t many takers for the latest weekend series, but those that did turn out were keen to take to the water once there was the hint of sufficient breeze to blow away the mirror like conditions. So when a light northerly filled in the OD took to the water and the sailors followed.… Read full article “Championship weekend series”
