It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over

Championship No Comments

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. With a low turn-out on Saturday, and a poor wind forecast for Sunday, Steve’s took the championship again, but may well have to work harder for it next year!

The Mirror fleet turned out in force (three boats!) to enter what was to be only the second championship series of the year. Rob, or was it Tim, Smith held out on Saturday to win both races from Mike Chappell – But what would Sunday bring?

The GP fleet thought better of it this weekend as there was no opportunity to catch and overtake sailing secretary Hugh Godfrey’s lead in the championship. As for the Flying 15s, they seem to have burnt themselves out and packed up for the rest of the season – perhaps they’re saving themselves for next year?

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. A slight swell from the south; wind patches in which the wind came from a different direction to the ripples on the water; even burgees were indicating totally different conditions to those filling the sails! It certainly seemed like it was pot luck, and necessary to be in the right place at the right time. All this made it very much harder for Robin Dawson to stay in with a chance of winning the handicap championship. He was working off the basis that he needed a 4th from two races to knock Neil off pole position, but it was only while waiting for some boats to finish that it was pointed out that he would have had better control of the situation by being OD, taking a 3rd and cancelling the last race! Hindsight’s a wonderful thing. Did he do the necessary? You’ll have to wait and see….

Tim Smith and Mike Chappell battled it out to win the first mirror trophy of the season! However, with two straight wins Tim took the trophy.

Saturday evening had naughty nighties and knickers, thongs ‘n’ things, girls’ toys and all sorts of unmentionables when Ann Summers’ rep came to the club. Everyone was in the swing(?) of things especially with the pass the parcel forfeits, including demonstrating air hostess uniforms, what not to do with large vegetables (and getting certificates to prove it!), and being careful to look but not touch some of the exhibits. To see the photos click here (Wonderful thing these camera phones NB Not for the feint hearted!)

Sunday began with threateningly high gusts, and Tim did go for a swim before the start, but the start came and the wind went, leaving all but Steve and Ruth to drift around the course in a relatively close bunch. In the afternoon, the winds seemed to have settled down, but it was not to be the case.

Grotty Potty Stakes

23 October, 2005

Opens No Comments

The flying fifteen team racing had a fleet of 20 boats competing for the Viking Trophy. If only last year’s winner, that forgetful president, had remembered to return the trophy! Saturday had much close racing, (even if Steve Goacher and Phil Evans did stand in as lead boat for the weekend yet again!), and the eagerness to start resulted in a few general recalls, but no black flags. Hugh Godfrey, the stand-in official starter tried to get into the Grotty Potty stakes by being distracted at a crucial moment (no it’s not what you think – the OD wouldn’t allow it!) and forgot to blow his horn.

Sunday’s conditions were much more blustery, and with the wind from the south-west, gusts wrapping around Sale Fell made tacking in mark 9 ‘interesting’. The conditions did result in several boats being flattened, and one even managed to get a mast stuck in the mud (that shouldn’t happen with such a big lump of iron under the boat). Keith Thomas and Andrea Preston’s antics resulted in their boat being renamed the green submarine.

The final results show there was a good mix of performance over the weekend, and it was Derwentitis that are this year’s victors.

Last year’s winner of the Grotty Potty had the pleasure of nominating and awarding the potty to this year’s contenders. Apart from Ian Preston who had forgotten the trophy, Steve nominated Alan Robinson’s crew, Carl Whitehill, for falling out of the boat in the final race and causing his team to drop from 2nd to 3rd overall (in favour of Steve’s team). But it was to be the crew that had to retie a spinnaker, but managed to do so after wrapping the sheet several times around the shroud – who could it have been other than Steve’s crew Phil Evans. We understand he won’t be doing that again.

A quiet weekend at the club for various reasons – beer festivals, 21st parties, illness… So quiet that Herb opted to try out a fixed, shore based start, so the challenge was on for competitors to fly spinnakers on the reaching start without being over the line!

Saturday was blustery for the start of the October series (yes, only 2 months of the season left!), and resulted in several capsizes – Kayla seemed to master the art of staying on the dry side of the boat for most of the three capsizes that she and Roy suffered; Tim Chittenden survived the gybe marks but was blown in with a huge backer on the beat to one. Despite his capsize, as the series is run on a personal handicap basis, Tim won the first race, with Jim Christie taking the honours in the second race.

Sunday started with little prospect of racing, as the lake was mirror like at 11am. However, it did fill in in time for a 12 Noon start, Neil and Judith Currie took an early lead, and although William and Lesley kept the pressure on, they couldn’t break through to the lead, so Neil was able to use the first position to take the lead in the Skiddaw Trophy series.

The afternoon race was the Bass Burgee pennant – and it was a penance for all but Neil – he managed to keep moving and reached the bottom of the lake in 30 minutes, but with everyone else wallowing in the shifting airs, it was to be another 10 mins before Mike Chappell got there and a further 7 mins before William reached mark 12. However, the return leg was not so straight forward for Neil and he had to work to keep his lead on Mike Chappell, while William had some better luck and eventually passed Mike, leaving Rory Yardley at a standstill around mark 11. Alan Nicholson also held his luck, for a while, and crept up the western shore to pass Rory. However, Alan’s luck slipped away when he capsized, several times, on the final beat to the finish. Neil did pull further ahead and won the race on a fleet handicap basis, while Mike took the honours for the Flying Enterprise trophy as first (and only) flying 15. this race being the last of the season’s pennants meant that the final results for Sandra’s Salver could be calculated, and this year it will go to Lesley Braddock.

The meet and greet evening held on Saturday was definitely something not to be missed. Firework display, gastronomic buffet (with even some left over for Sunday lunch), laughter and entertainment (no Miles was not there!), free bar to all members. It’s a pity some of you missed it!

As for the racing, there was challenging winds all weekend, and Sunday brought showers (at one stage Neil was able to stand on one side of his boat ‘in the dry’ while it was raining on the other side!), squalls (which caused some capsizes), and drifting patches (which let the rest of the fleet catch me up!). However, none of these events overturned the consistency of the results with Steve Hunt and Ruth Critchley winning the handicap series with four wins, while that new master of the GP fleet Hugh Godfrey had four straight wins with Rhonwen Bryce as well.

As the season has only two months to go, the championships are still open to challenge – the latest version is shown below.

I know it should say admirably, but since Tim Chittenden won the weekend series, it seemed more appropriate. With the tinker association having a travellers meeting of 22 boats, and many members away at the Southport 24 hour race, there was only a few takers for the club racing. Mike Fairlamb sailed a couple of races in a laser, one in a GP, and the final one he crewed in a GP. Other Sunday takers included Neil and Judith, William and Lesley, Roy and Kayla, and Leila and Sue. However, as Tim had sailed all four races, the Tinker Trophy goes to him!

The club can hold their heads high again after another good result in the 24 hour race when the finished 5th overall. Although Hugh’s boat was packed away and on the road in record time, no one’s quite certain when he’ll get back to the club – perhaps he’s stopped for a sleep!?

Apart from some heavy rain on Saturday evening, the Tinker Association had another excellent event with 22 boats taking part. Yet again David Warren took the trophy with Dennis Aldred 2nd ,and John & Val Allen 3rd

At Ullswater YC’s RS open meeting on Saturday, three members ventured down to brave some strong winds only to sit in the eye of the storm all day. The wind came and went from time to time, and the short races meant that, generally, it was important to get it right at an early stage. Scumper and T had a couple of good results, and several run ins (wait a while longer for those tales!), but it was Robbie D and Toggle that came out on top to finish third overall. Scumper was 5th, and William and Lesley 8th.

As for Scumper, his first run in was with the steamer – it appeared from nowhere and stopped just in front of him, so Scumper cut in close behind its stern, and just as the blue rinse brigade were taking photos of the Scumper and T, the captain powered up to full steam ahead, pushed Scumper 15 yards away and then he was sucked back in by the wash! In what was to be the final race, the wind had filled in from behind and as boats rounded the leeward mark for the finish, a mass of RS200s came in as well. One boat decided it wanted water on Scumper, but it didn’t have it, and Scumper wasn’t going to give it which all lead to a bit of verbals, and a comment was overheard later that the crew was going to offer a brain cell for Scumper and T to share! Little did they know the expertise they were up against – the winner of the 2000 Lord Birkett.

Meanwhile at the club, they had more than their fair share of wind, but there was only two takers – Sam Hall, and Stu and Debbie Spence. Sunday was slightly busier, but there was a lack of wind! However, it did fill in and another four races were held in this quick fire series of eight races. Sunday’s results were headed by the RS200, but it was Sam Hall that took the trophy.

Sun and wind – what more could you want? Even the water isn’t too cold for those of us that ended up in it! Saturday’s racing concluded the Dodd Trophy for the handicap fleet, and OD Rich Hodgkins set simple, but challenging, windward/leeward courses. Although ground can be gained on the beats, races tend to be won and lost on the offwind legs. Robin Dawson with Phil Hodgkins took another two first to win the series.

Sunday seemed to start in a similar fashion, with a good south easterly, but inter mingled with gusts from various directions, but mainly south west. Everyone knew they were in for a challenging race when seconds before the start the wind headed and those at the starboard end were unable to lay the line on starboard! Neil Currie and Paul Burnell had taken the left hand side of the course to stay in the wind but others had much more of a struggle to get to the windward mark. However, the shifting winds continued such that on the next beat Robin Dawson moved from 3rd to 1st and Neil dropped from 1st to 3rd, but later got back into 2nd.. A loose tiller joint that eventually failed led to Robin’s retirement, giving Neil first place.

The steady strong winds made the thought of the afternoon round the lake pennant race seemed a bit daunting for many (apart from Bridget who ‘doesn’t do round the lakers’), as there was likely to be a 3 mile beat (before the 3 mile reach home). By the time of the start, the wind had eased so crews could sit out on the beat with hanging on for dear life!. The downside was that the route back was less exciting, some planing gusts, but not as many as anticipated. The front end of the fleet stayed close together, with Mike Moore and Toni Nuttall just a couple of minutes behind Robin Dawson and Phil Hodgkins. ? in an osrey was just in front of Mike but crossed the wrong side of the line, and retired, with William and Lesley were just on their tails. The results were calculated on a personal handicap basis and first place went to Stuart Brookes.

While the Od was passing the time he took a few pics of which these are a mini selection.

Wedding bells will be resounding for another happy couple sometime in the future – congratulations to Mark Somerville and Kirsty Nixon on their recent engagement. An impromptu party took place on Saturday evening, that left a few people somewhat jaded on Sunday.

Mark and Kirsty wish to thank everyone for all of the effort made organising the engagement celebrations over the weekend. They were very surprised but thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and hope everyone else did too. They were shocked but thoroughly delighted with the picture and money that were presented to them, and thank everyone. They promise to keep us posted on the wedding plans as they go along.

With the high winds on Sunday morning there weren’t many takers for the race, and those that did go out did not stay upright for long! With the rescue craft under pressure to attend to all the boats racing was abandoned for the day.

The winds continued through Sunday night but eased in time for racing and there was glorious sunshine too. With visitors from the Southport (they were so appreciative of the wiggling bar staff that they want to come back for more!) and the Catapult Association holding their National Championship there were plenty of people on site and boats on the water.

Ian Smith woke with a start when a bucket of iced water was thrown over him by some caring friends?!

The handicap fleet were a bit eager at the start, and three boats were over the line, but only Steve Hunt returned to restart. Although Robin Dawson and Mark Somerville sailed the course, they did not receive finishing horns as they were the other two boats over at the start. Robin’s day did not improve in the afternoon as a capsize whilst putting up the spinnaker, left Robin in the water while Toggle rushed to pick up his helm – problem was that the wind picked up, filled the genniker, and Toggle was heading in the wrong direction, he then gybed and capsized again. Robin was picked up by rescue craft, but did not hurry to get back on board – once the boat was righted, Robin just stepped aboard and sailed home….

For all those that did disappear early without paying for camping – we know who you are so settle up with the treasurer (before he catches up with you and adds commission!)
