This weekend Bass held the FF Northerns. On Saturday the weather was fantastic although the winds very light and challenging. A strong fleet of 31 boats took to the water and it was Steve Goacher that again mastered the light airs to reign as overnight leader with two bullets.… Read full article “Flying 15 Northern Championships”
[Where’s the Summer Gone]Here Comes Summer?
A gentle breeze came and went, came back again and disappeared totally over the course of the afternoon. The rain clouds that came in failed to deliver any wind, and fortunately not too much rain either!
Although there was a light breeze for the first beat, it almost totally disappeared for the two downwind legs, and boats were hunting out whatever zephyrs they could.… Read full article “[Where’s the Summer Gone]Here Comes Summer?”
Mirror Northern Championships
The high winds of the first race led to several casualties, including various team Bass boats (or was it all?!). In fact the strength of it caused Rob Smith to have a change of mind and he opted to crew for twin brother Tim instead of sailing single handed.… Read full article “Mirror Northern Championships”
GP Open
Following the excess wind and rain leading up to the weekend, all the sailors had to contend with was sunshine and showers. The winds were light, and racing on Sunday was delayed waiting for the wind to fill in. Attempts to sail the final race were abandoned.… Read full article “GP Open”
Sunday
The initial forecast of wind and rain seemed to be correct, and as the boats prepared for the race the wind seemed to pick up. However, once the racing was under way the stronger gusts had eased and the sailors had to contend with shifts being dependant on where the gusts were coming from.… Read full article “Sunday”
The Morning After the DAY Before
Following yesterday’s wedding celebrations, many of the guests were surprisingly bright after having danced the night away into the early hours. Photos will follow (when someone sends them to me!)
Some of the tales of woe
Scandal – Andy T was black balled in (not from) the club (make of that what you will)
Joanie was unusually under the weather (did the champagne have anything to do with it?)… Read full article “The Morning After the DAY Before”

Bank Holiday Monday
The forecast was for more wind than Sunday, but there was considerably less as the boats were rigged. By the time the boats were on the water the wind had filled in and looked considerably more promising but, as ever, there were some big shifts to contend with and as a result the fleets were all well intermingled at the windward mark.… Read full article “Bank Holiday Monday”
Well Done Team Bass!
As expected, the wind eased for the second day of the handicap open meeting. With an earlier than usual start the OD was able to run all three races.
The wind shifts may have been subtle, but they could be deadly and several places changed as a result.… Read full article “Well Done Team Bass!”
Catapult Open
Another blustery, but dry, day for the final race of the Catapult open. The gusts did catch out one of the catapults which resulted in their first capsize of the weekend.
