Normally the OD would get three points for race organisation, but in today’s pursuit scheduled OD Rory Yardley was substituted by Mike Moore which allowed Rory to race. As with other pursuit races in this series, the finish was very close, and various places changed in the final minute or so of the race.… Read full article “4th for OD!”
Bass Week Memories
Above are a couple of photos of rescue crew staff Josh and Tom taken during Bass Week – for some reason Baywatch, or the Jolly Green Giant, springs to mind!
If you enjoyed the week and are planning ahead for next year then put 2 – 10 August in your diary (you won’t be the first)
Back to Normality
With Bass Week over and done with, many tend to have a rest from sailing or go for a holiday, so this weekend is typically quiet, to the extent that no sailing was scheduled for yesterday (That didn’t stop Herb turning up for duty though!).… Read full article “Back to Normality”
Ladies and Crews Race
As Andy Smith is neither a lady, nor a crew, I assume dad Alan won the race with Andy crewing – well done – use Club update for full results. So much for making assumptions – it was Emma that won – Well done!
Congratulations!
Sam Hall has today won the Mount Haes Trophy at this year’s NSSA Regatta being held in Plymouth
[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”
While the Cat’s Away
Well, with the Mirror (er, Bass) Forum down I will have to moan on the website. It’s not good enough. There I am taking a well earned break from Bass at the Brit GP when, suddenly, all these Mirrors go out.… Read full article “While the Cat’s Away”
Sunny Sunday
What a difference a day makes. The sun shone all day, the wind blew enough most of the time, and there were shifts that made all the difference (if you were on the right side of them!).
First of all an apology to Toggle – there may have been a one sided tale told about his efforts in the Lord Birkett, and the bit about the training was a joke – there aren’t actually any places available until next year, but Tog doesn’t really need to attend.… Read full article “Sunny Sunday”
Single Handed
 |
Well Toggle’s found another way of demonstrating how to use a boat single handed – trust him to be different, most of us stay in the boat! At today’s Lord Birkett 2007 Toggle needed a tow in. |
With the Lord Birkett Trophy being sailed at Ullswater, numbers were slightly down at the club today.… Read full article “Single Handed”
