Spring 12 – Racing Report
|
Last Pursuit
What a difference a day makes..!! 22 boats took to the water in very light fluky winds – another Sunday drift!!
Paul and his team set a very interesting sausage course, Xp, 3s,Op…..which was designed to catch all the available wind with a choice of which way to go through the gate at the top of the lake. Despite a 15 minute postponement, as the wind suddenly shifted, the course remained the same as posted, complete with drawing, on the board outside the clubhouse….Mick was the first to go off followed by John in his Topaz, Nev in his Ent, an odd Firefly and the usual hoard of Lasers, with Steve and Lynne eventually starting on 31 in their 505.
David made the perfect start, alarm clock went off on time this week!!…but was unable to hold the lead. The racing was close, with the odd puffs keeping the fleet together and the finishing even closer with Ian, in his Supa Nove 1st, Newton, complete with spinnaker in his Laser 2000 2nd and Karen 3rd.
Next Sunday sees the start of the Summer Series with one 1 1/2hr handicap race.
