Sat 20th June.
Another sucessfull RYA training course completed in a lovely 6 to 8 mph wind, just perfect for training, thanks to all those who helped out our trustworthy instructors on the day.

Sunday 21st June Race 1 North force 3
The RS200s led the way around the course today, firstly Hecky & Ben streaking away followed by Jeremy & Chrissie, Jon (laser) chased in vain as the downwind legs saw the assymetric boats pull away to finish in front. It was great to see close racing throughout the large fleet wether at the front or back.

Race 2 North Force 3
Again Hecky& Ben led the way followed by Jeremy & Chrissie though this time Jon (laser) was right on their tail as they crossed the finish line. Lots of the action was going on midfleet where there were several collisions to debate and lots of overtaking going on though strangely not many penalty turns(tut tut). Great rivalry too near the rear of the fleet where Paul (laser) beat Mike (laser) who had just pipped him over the line in race 1.

Well done experts and novices alike.

  • Membership: Please remember to put your new boat sticker on your boat or Bill Davies will be sending the heavies round (I’m sure he was a traffic warden in another life!) in fact when Bill’s around I like to play it safe and put a sticker on my back whenever I enter the boat park for fear of being removed & stored in the bushes for the rest of the season!
