A good turnout for another day of blustery conditions. The rain held off but it didn't mean everyone kept dry as the courses had various gybes which had the edge over numerous sailors in the gusts, and resulted in several capsizes.… Read full article “Sunday Roundup”
Gusting SW winds left some of the select group of competitors looking a little reluctant before the earlier than usual 11am start, but they did all venture out racing.
Despite an unimpressive start our own Tog was leading at the end of the first lap, but slipped back behind Tony King during the next lap.… Read full article “Solo Open”
Only eight boats out but four changes of leader in a race which OD John Reekie felt should be short and to the point as safety cover was limited to Chas. Not that it was particularly windy but the gust coming around Sale Fell caught out nearly everyone.… Read full article “Night Jar 13”
Well done Cumbria youth sailing team on winning the Mount Haes Trophy again. It seems we need Bass sailor Ethan Dawson in order to win it.
Tog would like another good session on the grounds maintenance this Wednesday 26 July in preparation for Bass Week. He has organised some good weather, if you can help, please be there for 6.30.
Thanks

There were 16 starters although Mike Cave and Robbie/Erin pulled out and went ashore mid-race.… Read full article “Ladies, Crews, Juniors & Crews Race”
A drizzly but mild and wild Saturday afternoon didn’t put off any of those sailors that turned up for a race. Even Jo was keen to get on the water, this time racing with Ant in a Vision, and fulfil her dream of sailing the perfect race, winning by a country mile, and sailing into the sunset.… Read full article “Sailing into the Sunset”
A small fleet of nine boats took to the water on Thursday evening in a freshening SW wind and overcast skies. Nigel selected a course 0-9-A-1-B which was similar to the diamond set last week by Hazel.
There was little bias on the line but Dave & Lynn managed port on port in the GP to take an initial lead with Mike & Eric following.… Read full article “Night Jar 12”
