The ‘Ladies, crews and junior’ race was held last Thursday in somewhat challenging wind conditions. 13 boats took part with many normal crews moving to the back of their boats to try out some helming. Unfortunately for some, the move from the back to the front of the boat for the normal helms proved a bit confusing – Toggle spent ages stationary at buoy 3 waiting for Robbie D to sort out his kite! Noting the strong wind and the forthcoming NSSA regatta, Sam put his radial rig on his laser. This proved to be a good decision as he was third overall and winner of the junior race. Ken Bell took the helm in the GP, but Val decided against flying the kite. Again this proved to be the right decision as they were second overall and won the crews race. Despite having to avoid Rhonwen who did a really rubbish tack (Rhonwen’s words!!) in her water at buoy zero, the overall winner was Emma Powell who helmed an Enterprise with Andy Smith crewing. Emma takes the ladies prize for the first time.
GP14 Open
Thursday night, Night Jar A finished last week. Overall winner was Mike Turner and Sue Watson in a GP. Mike had done two OD duties during the series, but only needed to count one to win. Ginge was second. Alex Hill (Laser) was third overall and wins the laser/handicap trophy. Tim Smith wins the mirrors and Keith Thomas the Flying Fifteens. In all 44 helms took part over 10 races (two races were abandoned before they were started due to high winds).
16 boats turned out for this weekend’s GP open. Although the winds were very light there was enough for two races each day – the third race on Sunday was not started. Beautiful sunshine and we all enjoyed the view whilst waiting for the wind. Very close racing through all parts of the fleet and after the first two races, Telf, Ian Dobson and Dave Lawson were all on 4 points. In the third race, Neil Platt then went and threw a spanner in the works by winning (old habits die hard!). Places changing up every beat and a few deft over-taking manoeuvres downwind. Telf managed to hold on to the lead in the fourth race to win overall. Hugh & Rhonwen were winners of the silver fleet and Mandy Mitchell with Jon Close from Winsford Flash won the Bronze fleet. First time for a long time that a quarter of the fleet had lady helms.

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.
The handicap fleet were a little too eager for the start (or was the line so biased?) that there were two general recalls much to the dismay of the lasers who were all being good and staying behind the line. In several instances throughout the racing the leaders came a cropper to the gusting winds and ended up capsized – First Scumper, then Neil, then Shunty, and off course Toggle doesn’t like to miss out so Robbie D ended up in the water as well! With no other GPs to sail against, Hugh sailed in the handicap fleet, stayed upright and on the tails of the RS and of course won! The second race was similarly windy – William took the right side of the first beat and the lead, and broke away until the next beat. Shunty went for another swim and an early finish, Robbie D who had earlier sussed the wind conditions and advised Herb not to use mark A, ended up capsizing at A with his gennaker up (and also took an early exit from the race. Neil trawled his kite on the final 50 m leg to the finish and let William back through but it was Hugh that again took the honours on handicap
Toddy and Ron Lee braved the elements again in their Mirrors but found it a bit too challenging. However, at least they tried. Well done
The strong winds forecast for Sunday must have passed through overnight, and although the sun tried to break through, it was drizzly most of the morning race. The handicap fleet saw some extremely close racing with four RS400s each taking turns at the front. Andy T tried to slow Scumper down by somersaulting out of the boat on a spinnaker reach. Not content with doing it once, he got back in the boat, bent down and fell out again!
Hugh had competition in the GPs and from the Ashby’s for the morning at least, so the win on a single race was sufficient for him to take his first trophy of the weekend – the Macmillan Cup
With no GPs for the afternoon, Hugh rejoined the handicap fleet, secured a third position and his second trophy – the Grisedale Cup.
As Toggle had no helm for the day, he took out the mirror in the hope of cleaning up, but he was no match for Mik Chappell who took the Round Table Tankard with two straight wins.

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. This conflict continued throughout the afternoon and became more challenging during the second race with the addition of a steady northerly breeze!?
This may sound similar to other summer afternoons, however the three winds co-existed for the duration of the race such that the windward mark (8) was in a south easterly, one of the wings marks (0) was in a south westerly, and the other wing mark (4) and leeward mark (1) enjoyed northerlies! You would be right in thinking that it was challenging for some boats to move between the wind systems. William and Lesley lost substantial ground to the lasers (which seemed to huddle together like a duck with ducklings) whilst manoeuvring between the wind systems. With only two starters in the GPs you’d expect life to be simple, but for some inexplicable reason there was a general recall! Ginge and Jose broke away from Val and Ken only to have their lead swallowed up by the wind conditions, but they did stay ahead and when the results were calculated they realised that the afternoon’s racing had determined the winners of the Spring Cup which turned out to be Ginge with Val second.
Sunday afternoon’s race took the fleet around the lake. The sea breeze seemed to have set in over the lunch break and the fleet generally had a broad reach/dead run in light airs all the way to 12. Neil and Judith Currie broke away slightly, but Rory Yardley in the RS300, being able to take the direct route rather than having to use the broad reaches of the RS400s, wasn’t far behind. The return up the lake was reasonable until 7 when the gaps closed between all boats. At this stage Rory opted for the western shore (not the thing to do as he found) and lost substantial ground. Mike Fairlamb who had been recalled at the start for being over, had taken the lead from Hugh and Rhonwen, but that was lost at 7 when Hugh left Mike floundering looking for wind.
The wind filed in allowing Neil, William and Hugh to finish then it dropped to mirror like conditions. However, on handicap, Hugh was close enough to win by 400secs from Neil

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!
Saturday’s racing was held in light to medium airs with a turnout of 10 boats for the 2nd fleet challenge trophy of the season. The asymmetrics weren’t able to gain ground offwind because of the lack of gusts, so it was Tim Smith that took the overnight lead.
Roy and Kayla had some close racing with William and Lesley for the first couple of races, indeed William only got past in the second race when Roy hit the windward mark – Roy must have thought he could walk on water at that stage because he had been flying the gennaker on a leg so close that it could have been a beat, and still managing to luff William.
Congratulations to Toddy and Ron for biting the bullet and entering the series. Toddy just can’t seem to stop laughing (even when he misses out marks!). Toddy had another good day on Sunday – capsized, couldn’t work out where the buoys are (but was told the secret that even marks have a white band). Get out there and join them
Sunday’s racing was held in better winds – too much like hard work for Rhonny (or so she claimed) especially with a full rig. Paul Burnell, Tim Chittenden, Ian Macpherson, and Arnie Helling all went swimming. Roy and Kayla wondered what else could go wrong – decided it could be a collision and it was! Mike Fairlamb, whilst avoiding hitting the committee boat, and taking out the OD, tacked and had to tack again to avoid hitting Roy, but the merging of their boats meant it was time to do some turns!
Stuart Brookes had a good day’s racing, but having to count a DNS put him out of the reckoning. Anyway, after an eventful three races, all was over� just after 3pm which gave everyone plenty of time to get home for the football. It was Tim Chittenden that came out on top after counting a 3rd for being OD on Saturday.

Personal Trainer Available?!
With the series results already determined, Rhonwen and Hugh split up and offered their services as personal trainers for the final race of the weekend. While Rhonwen� crewed for Graham Ashby, his daughter crewed for Hugh – and guess who came out on top! Yes it was Graham and Rhonwen
As for the rest of the weekend, the weather had been at its most cruel with wind swinging and shifting significantly, but also leaving massive holes for many boats to get dumped in and left behind. One boat that couldn’t be shaken off was Mike Moore, who was sailing in the handicap fleet, and secured two first and a second to win the trophy. His reason for not doing so well in the last race was that he was more relaxed because he had already won the series, the fact that the strengthening winds gave the 400s some spectacular spinnaker reaches may have been closer to the truth. Also, a loose twinning line resulted in Mike being flattened on his final reach.
Again, Roy and Kayla took the trophy for the most capsizes! There seemed to be several bumps and bangs – Roy and Steve, Mike and Scumper, Sam and Mike (and those are the ones I noticed!).
With 26 boats taking to the water over the weekend, all in all it was a gud un! Why not come and join in?

Didn’t She Do Well!
 |
Congratulations to Lesley Braddock on winning the Doctors’ Handicap Trophy at Coniston this weekend. Racing was intermingled with club racing but two firsts and a second were more than enough to secure the trophy in a fleet of nearly twenty boats including RS200s, Osprey, Kestrel 2000, Lasers, Merlin, Albacore, et alMeanwhile back at the club racing resumed, with Robbie D taking another 1st in the Dodd trophy and strengthening his overall lead. Similarly Hugh’s first kept him in pole position
The afternoon pennant was lead by the RS400 with Steve Hunt taking pole position. This win gave Ruth the lead in Sandra’s Salver |

Flying 15 Open
 |
Summer arrived at last? Winds on Saturday led to ideal sailing conditions, but Sunday proved to be more challenging for the OD Neil Currie at least, due to light winds with inbuilt big� shifts.Overall the competitors all enjoyed some close, challenging, racing, even though the outcome was not unexpected with Steve Goacher and Andy Tunnicliffe securing three firsts and the open meeting trophy

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.
Roy and Kayla were still a little anxious about their new boat, and it was well founded! A blustery first beat ended with a capsize that was enought for them to call it a day.
They weren’t the only ones to go swimming; Phil and Rich Hodgkins did their bit for the chandlery trade in the first race, and then Phil took Dave Lawson out for the second race, only to have another capsize and bend the tiller extensions.
As for the racing, Mark and Emma hung on in there in their Enterprise, securing a first and third overall. Scumper and Zefer sailed well in both races, but mistook A for 9 in the second race and had a valiant effort trying to stop capsizing (because they couldn’t lay 9 with the gennaker up) well after the point of no return! Robbie D and Toggle’s performance regained them the lead for the series overall.
The wind continued through the night, as did the partying, but when racing started the wind was a ‘slightly’ steadier westerly. Roy and Kayla were aiming for three marks before capsizing – and they did it!. Roy had a corker of a first beat to be in second position at the windward mark, but he felt obloged to hold his position by flying the kite – problem was with the gusts coming through he couldn’t lay the mark and then struggled to take down the kite – It’s tough at the top! Their tales of woe continued and they had an extra couple of capsizes along the way, however, they weren’t alone – Neil and Bean, Robbie and Toggle, Steve and Ruth, Scumper and Zefer, Phil and Andy T – all joined them. Both Steve and Robbie had to practice their swimming techniques to get back to their boats. It might have been easier to list that stayed upright – William and Lesley, Dave and Lynn, Val and Ken.
Close racing in the RS400 almost led to a demolition derby at a couple of marks, but fortunately everyone came out unscathed.
Monday started off flat calm, but once racing was under way sailors were treated to a variation of shifts and gusts passing through from time tio time that tended to break up the fleets somewhat. In the afternoon, the gusts (when they came) caught out a couple of GPs along the bottom reach, and they kept the rescue crews going by capsizing.
Apart from a heavy shower at the end of the day, the weather wasn’t too bad for a bank holiday!

Quiet Weekend
There may not have been many racing on Saturday, but Roy and Sam’s appearances brought them to the front of the celebrity glass series. Word has it that Sam had a little chuckle to himself (as you do!) when Ian Macpherson capsized – He’ll soon learn that what goes around comes around – Beware Sam!
Sunday started mirrorlike, but the wind filled in after lunch to let the fleet have two back to back races. Mike Fairlamb in his GP was again sailing well, and beat F15 sailor Keith Jamieson on the water and indeed won both races on handicap to take a strong lead in the series
