Let the Racing Commence

Racing No Comments

You’ll note from the activity on the webcam that something’s afoot. Yes many people have been enjoying the mild weather and getting their boats ready for the off. Ginge couldn’t wait and so went out in his laser, and then again in the GP. He was very nearly the first to capsize this season as well (but didn’t)

Steve is excitedly waiting for his new boat, but was disturbed when watching the CCTV to note his camper van being driven off! He ran off in a panic only to discover that it was just a similar van to his.

As for the racing, deputy official starter Pete Nuttall had got up early out of his bed and wasn’t going to hang around for any namby pamby sailors deciding whether they should go out to sail. The fact that it was honking seemed to have nothing to with anything!. Pete declared that racing would start at 11.30 and he went out with OD Mik Chappell to get things going. There was a flurry of activity as five boats prepared themselves for the first race of the season. Bridget turned up in her Sunday best, only to find a cup of tea was the preferred option. William was easily tempted to join her so they could watch how things progressed. Roy and Kayla were the first to go in their lark (having opted not to try out an RS400), Ian Macpherson followed in his laser, and then Toggle and Robbie D ventured out in an RS400 followed by Steve and Ruth. It was noticeable that the wind had increased because spectators could see white horses looking down wind! As they approached the start line, there was the first capsize of the day – Toggle blamed it on the centreboard coming up! Although they managed to right the boat, they went in several more times and ended up being towed ashore. Steve and Ruth went swimming as well, they also struggled to right the boat but, with a little help, they were back in the boat and sailing home. Ian and Roy had already seen sense and returned home. If racing had commenced at 1130 UTC (not BST), it would still have been windy, but things were somewhat more manageable. Such is life

Perhaps racing will start next week?!

After a week of wind and floods, many boats have been removed from site for safe storage or repair!

As you can see from the webcam, Sunday started with a fantastic mist that was lit by the morning sun. In fact the glorious weather continued all day, but without wind, and consequently without racing. Don’t be surprised if the views turn up in calendars for 2007!

Mik and team brought in the Bates to stop it wandering off on day trips (twice this week!), and it promptly slid off due to not being tied to the trailer when Mik tried a racing start on the tractor, but we’re assured there was no damage. For everyone waiting for the final pennant race of the season, it won’t be a round the laker as the bottom end marks have now been removed for the season.

The first Sunday’s racing was in dry, but very blustery conditions. William and Lesley caught a gust coming in to a gybe mark, but trying to stay to windward of the mark during the gust was not the right thing to do, and they ended up capsized on the mark. Having righted the boat and u lassooing themselves from the mark they continued the race. But while they were over, all but Jim Christie capsized as well. Jose thought Ginge was running off with the other woman when he fell out of the back of the boat, but managed to hold on to the mainsheet and rescue the boat (and Jose, of course) from who knows what?! Jim’s caution kept him upright, and he won the race on personal handicap, only to have his handicap chopped by 5% for subsequent races.

The afternoon race had more gybe marks and even bigger squalls. William and Lesley picked up a gust coming in to the first gybe mark, and went for another swim, but managed to right the boat and continued the race again. Jim maintained his caution, and avoided flying his spinnaker, but also had problems with a broken toestrap, and a universal tiller joint that may not have survived another lap. He again won on the water, but his amended handicap led to Ginge winning the race, and becoming series leader.

The following three weekends sailing were cancelled due to glorious weather and lack of wind causing the series to be determined on the first weekends sailing, so Jose and Ginge are the first winners for the 2006 prize giving

Night of a Thousand Stars

Racing Socials No Comments

Despite the weather throughout the day and the rest of the country, the night was clear and the stars shining during the bonfire night celebrations during which there was a magnificent array of fireworks. With hot dogs, toffee apples, treacle toffee and soup to hand, everyone had a great evening. The bonfire was moved to higher ground, and we were in desperate need of an arsonist to get the damp wood alight, but it was done!

Remember there’s only three weeks left. If you don’t intend sailing you would be well advised to make sure your boat is away from the high water level as the lake is presently very high, and several trailers along the lower slip are already in water.

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?

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
			

				
 
 
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.
