Following Saturday’s open meeting, racing was back to normal on Sunday, with the final race in two long series. Weather was milder, and a few more sunny spells, though the W breeze started off slightly lighter than Saturday. After lunch the breeze freshened to create some better planing conditions.
No two boats in the handicap fleet were in the same class so it was difficult for sailors to gauge their performance. The only boat to capsize was a 29er helmed by James with dad John crewing. Robbie D/Toggle joined forces again in their F15, built up a good lead and won both races, with Rory in his Solo getting two 2nds. Paul in a ILCA 6, took the morning 3rd, while Mike/Jack in the Graduate were 3rd in the afternoon.
In the GPs, Val/Ken took an early lead in both races, but finished 2nd to Dave/Lynn. AJ/Sue were keen to continue their winning ways, but being over the line in the afternoon race didn’t help their cause!
Overall series results had Rory winning the Barf Trophy, with Phil/Rory 2nd, and Neil/Archie winning the Dodd Trophy, and Phil/Rory runners up.
AJ/Sue won the Spring Cup, with Val/Ken 2nd, while Dave/Lynn won the Mustard Pot, with Val/Ken 2nd.
Andrew won the MT Red Sail Trophy, while Alex/Saskia won the MT AB Trophy
Several club members took part in the Lord Birkett Trophy at Ullswater over the weekend with over 200 entrants.
Congratulations to club members Chris Pickles/Matt Sharman in a RS400 (3rd), Paul/Grace Allen in a 59er (7th), and Dave Exley/Joe Roberts in a RS400 (8th) on their outstanding performances, all fimnishing in the top 10!
