With many families having been sailing elsewhere in the past week, and another wet and windy forecast, there was only a few takers for the weekend fleet challenge.
Though sailing secretary John Reekie in his Solo led throughout the first race, it was not to be in the second one, which was led by Tim/Barbara in a F15, as John capsized, and headed for the wrong marks! A decided to curtail the second race due to limited rescue cover, and the fact that the sailors had already suffered in the high winds!
On handicap, John’s lead in the first race was sufficient to win the race, followed by Dave in a Laser Radial. The positions were reversed in the 2nd race, so despite being on equal points, Dave is the overnight leader.
With only the overnight leader turning up to race on Sunday (others presumably believed the forecast), racing was cancelled, and the overnight results stand, with Dave Lawson winning the Fleet Challenge B trophy.
Meanwhile various Bass Ladies on Tour competed in a Muddy Race for Life in aid of Caroline Storey. Use this link if you are able to support their cause and thank you very much to all that have. We have raised a very impressive £1620 so far!
