For anyone that watched an item on this week’s Antiques Roadshow about a diary and skeleton keys kept by a prisoner of war, it may be of interest that they belonged to our very own former commodore and trustee, the late Harry Kirk.
Weekend Update
5 mins of fame! Well that’s what everyone seemed to want on Saturday afternoon. First there was the OD that decided to ‘follow the guidelines’ and start the F15 first much to the confusion of the handicap fleet, and then kept everyone sailing for ever and a bit more. However, by the time the second race started the wind had picked up and the capsizing had begun.
Toggle was in the driving seat for the second race until after claiming water at the leeward mark (with the unusual hail ‘Water ‘cos Toggle’s coming through!’) from William he promptly hit it, did a turn and capsized. It must be said that one of his earlier attempts at gybing looked very dodgy, but he got away with it.
Toddy swam to the rescue after spotting an RS Feva that had been overturned for some time. He jumped out of his mirror and must have covered 100 yds in front crawl only to find Jonathon had already been taken ashore with a suspected dislocated big toe! Toddy did get back to his boat and finished the race.
There seemed to be many more casualties throughout the race, but it was good to have a bit of wind. A couple of anxious (not) parents watched the excitement from the comfort of the clubhouse, and when Sam Hall headed for the shore it is reported that there was the unexpected exclamation ‘oh good, we can go home early!’
On Sunday, the Bass micro climate struck again. Wind everywhere but on the lake. The first race was delayed until a good southerly moved in tempting the OD to set 7 as the windward mark, but by the time the race started the wind had faded. The sweepstake for the time to the windward mark was won by Lesley, who guessed 30 mins against an actual time of 26 mins. The mirrors’ course was shortened at 7, but the others had to make their way back to B which took another 30 mins. Of course the wind filled in a little after the finish, but it didn’t stay and the afternoon race was held in semi drifting conditions. The OD was a little more cautious with the course in the afternoon to give himself a better opportunity to shorten as necessary which he did (and then the wind filled in again!)

Flying Fifteen (not quite) Team Racing
Due to a multitude of reasons, the normal 20+ entries for this event did not materialise and the team racing was cancelled in favour of straight racing, but for those who did turn out, what a glorious two days of sailing. The sun was out all weekend and the wind was a southerly force 3-5. On Saturday, the elite sailors gave the rest of the fleet a 3 minute head start and they all headed to the south end of the lake where Robbie Dawson & Toggle from Bass held the lead going round the windward mark. They were only overtaken halfway back down the lake when Neil Platt with Richard Rigg (Bolton & West Kirby) managed to get past them and win the race. Keith Jamieson & Maf Smith (Bass) were holding off the other boats, but lost places when they ran aground. The second race was held in the bay, but this time no-one got near Robbie & Toggle. Keith was also holding off the fleet until a last minute change of wind strength and direction allowed some of the other boats to catch up and pip him on the line.
Sunday again saw a race to the south end of the lake, but this time all the boats set off together. By the time they reached buoy 12 it looked like Neil has the race sown up – but this is Bass! The wind favoured those at the back of the fleet and they all came round buoy 6 more or less together. Neil and Adrian Tattersall with Tim Smart (RYA) then took each other high on the reach down to buoy 2, allowing Howard Green & Ian Preston (Leigh & Lowton) to get through into the lead. There was some tight covering up the next beat, but Howard then overshot the windward mark and dropped back to third. He nearly took back a place coming to the finish line, but Adrian beat him by a foot. After more than an hours sailing, all boats finished within a minute of each other
In the final race, the OD again took advantage of the southerly breeze, but this time only sent the boats half way down the lake. Neil took the lead, but the others were not far behind – Adrian and Howard were less than 10 seconds behind at the end. Robin and Keith had their own match racing competition with Keith managing to come home first.

Saturday 14 October
Saturday morning saw the final training session of the Autumn. Well done to Dave, Sue and Lewis Tyson, Kevin & James Finnegan, Steve & Gill Sharp, Thomas Bainbridge, Max Statter, Martin Parker who all passed Level 1 and to Dave Todhunter who passed Level 2. Shelby Tyson also took part and thinks she is a much better sailor that her mother because she does not get so many bruises! Also in the photo below are Eric Smith, Richard Rhodes and Nigel Lewis who delivered the training and assessment and Bass’s rescue man Josh who is always at the front of any photo!
Autumn’s Over?
Well the Autumn Cup at least! Saturday saw the end of the final long series of the season. In the GP 14s the Autumn Cup was already decided so Hugh & Rhonwen didn’t need to sail and chose to stay in the nice warm clubhouse whilst the others ventured out in windy conditions. Other positions and championship points were up for grabs – Dave Nicholson gaining second and Ginge 3rd overall in the GP14’s.
Steve Hunt won both handicap races to take the Skiddaw trophy, with Ian Macpherson and Tony Flynn the only others to brave both races.

Sunday was another blustery day but not as windy as expected. It was still windy enough though for Neil Garrison to capsize his catamaran in the first race. He made up for it though in the second race with a first place on personal handicap.
End of the Indian Summer?
Roy Blackburn took the lead on Saturday, well for the greatest number of capsizes. For the first race of the October series, Shunty and Robbie D were a bit too eager at the start and had to return, giving Roy the chance to break free. At the windward mark Roy hoisted the kite, headed for the wrong mark and went for swim No 1!
Race 2 had both Roy and John Halliday swimming (and Roy took great pains to point out they capsized more than once). Robin again pulled away from Steve and won the race, but they they enjoyed it so much they each went for a jolly after the race to take advantage of the excellent reaching conditions.
Sunday’s forecast for wind and rain was wrong! The wind seemed to fill in before racing started and the fleets had a good beat up to mark 7, but by the 2nd beat the wind had eased and the 3rd beat had next to no wind resulting in several retirements and Neil losing a place back to William on the final leg as the wind filled back in. On a positive note Roy didn’t capsize!
Hugh was doing a little coaching with Marty Wright, but Dave and Sarah Nicholson showed the way with a convincing win.
The pennant race in the afternoon was postponed until the wind came back again about 1515hrs, but it was accompanied by further showers and there weren’t that many takers, and even fewer finishers. That old pot hunter Shunty took the trophy of the Bass Burgee. Keith Thomas showed that perseverance pays, because he won the Flying Enterprise trophy as 1st F15
While we were all drifting the Denwood sisters were on the Great North run – each completed it in 2:49:34. Don’t forget to sponsor them so they can hit their £3k target for West Cumbria Hospice at Home

Congratulations
Many congratulations to Telf and Lucy on the birth of twins Alfie and Holly late on Monday evening
Sunday 17 September
The fleet challenge C brought out a number of new faces to racing including Sam Evans and Jonathan Connor. With racing being held as three (short?) races each day there’s the opportunity to practice starts, and the added bonus of personal handicapping (rather than fleet handicaps) so it’s possible to get a couple of good results in before the computer catches up with you!
Jonathon was overnight leader and was tempted to forgo work to maintain that lead, but he didn’t. He was of course doubly handicapped by having Hugh in the front end on Saturday (not good in light winds!)
Sunday started light and drizzly, and then the wind disappeared so there was no racing until after lunch when OD Ian Macpherson got all three races in, but the wind never seemed to settle down. Perhaps if the results had been calculated after race 5 no-one need have sailed the last race.
The results seemed a bit challenging to Sam’s dad as he didn’t realise Sam had won the series (and that he’d have to come to the annual dinner to collect his prize!)
Anyone keeping an eye on the webcam (now that’s it’s working again) may have noticed the happy wedding couple having a photo session. Talking of which, congratulations to Grahamo and Sarah on their recent engagement. No doubt last night’s party left a few people feeling very sorry for themselves today!

Night Jar B
The final race of the Night Jar B Thursday night series managed to be squeezed in before the evenings get too dark. Six boats entered the final race in very light winds. The OD set a short course but even so there was much debate about when to shorten the course as darkness was falling very quickly but if anything the wind was getting stronger! The race was won by Dave Todhunter in his Mirror, however Joe Watkins’s second place was sufficient for him to pip Eric Smith at the post and take the series – well done Joe!

Tinker Weekend
While the Tinker fleet held one of their annual rallies at Bass, some of our RS fleet ventured to Ullswater for their RS open. Robbie D and Toggle came out best from the competitive (if small) fleet. Counting four results from five races sailed they won with 6 points (inc 3 1sts) from local helm Neil ? who also had 6 points. Scumper and Zefer were 3rd and William and Lesley 4th. A busy, frustrating, (the 400s started behind and had to sail through the fleet of 28 RS200s) but enjoyable day’s racing.
Sunday – A glorious day for sailing – a true southerly and sunshine. Club fleets endured an asymmetric windward leeward course (good for the asymmetrics, but Rhonwen wasn’t impressed in her laser!) and were home and well through their lunch before the tinkers finished their race.
The breeze eased a little for the afternoon, but the course that Shunty set BEFORE coming ashore for lunch didn’t prove to be the best thing since sliced bread (The best leg was from the finish to the shore!). Robbie D couldn’t stay away from the water and took out the Topaz with Ethan. Old habits die hard, and the sail ended with a capsize, but Toggle was nowhere to be seen!
The tinkers’ travellers trophy went, as ever to David Warren. Malcolm Ellwood was 2nd and Dennis Aldred 3rd
2 Up Trophy for the season went to Stewart and Barbara Warren, and the most improved helm was Nigel Marshall

Weekend Sailing
Apart from a taster session on what must have been one of the wettest day’s of the summer, the OD (or was it Herb) thought better of it when it came to racing. The wind and waves had picked up, and coupled with the rain, apathy set in and racing was abandoned. Of course the wind did ease, and the rain eventually stop, but by then it was too late. However, as you may have noticed from the webcam, Steve Hunt did venture out. He reckons Rich Critchley tried (but failed miserably) to capsize them.
Things didn’t look too promising on Sunday morning. Apathy was embedding itself in everyone’s minds. However, Neil had taken the cover off the boat, and put the jib up, only for everyone to find that he was tuning his boat!
Looking down the wind, we could see the tops of the waves, which is not encouraging! The race did start about Noon, and there was some good racing. Robbie D and Toggle seem to be capsize kings for the day (makes a change from Roy) capsizing once before the start, and then more crucially, just coming into the leeward mark – with their mast in the mud, they lost two places and Steve Hunt, with Sam Hall crewing, won from William and Lesley.
In the GPs, some match racing was the order of the day for Hugh and Nigel. Hugh went on to win.
In the afternoon a brave few ventured out for the Banana Stakes. The winds were blustery again and the kindly OD sent us all around the lake (as you do for pennants!) The OD and Herb reckoned that the best plane of the day went to Rhonwen & Hugh who planed for about 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes doing 360 degree capsizes! They were not the only ones to capsize – apart from Keith Thomas & Jonathan Connor in a fifteen all the other boats capsized during the race – even William & Lesley who crashed and burned big style! Rory Yardley, had a good leg down to the bottom of the lake – shame he was hading for 12 instead of 13! Steve Hunt with Sam Hall crewing were first home, but it was Keith & Jonathan who won after personal handicaps were used to calculate the results.
Check out Hugh’s video from last week (Could be painfully slow if you don’t use broadband – Sorry!)
