Spring Pursuit 2 – Racing Report

The forecast was cold, wet and rainy with little wind.   During the setting of the course and preparation of the race the wind was in abundance with the driving rain. Alas at the start of the race the little wind there was came from a southerly direction.

The race started at 10.30 and “the 11 boats were off” bobbing along to marker buoy 4.

The rain came but little wind so the SOOP and OOD’s positioned themselves strategically in the shelter of the clubhouse with a commanding view of buoy 7. 

Suddenly on the 2nd run from buoy 8 to 6 a gust which saw some speed but this was short lived .

In a 90 minute race most boats achieved almost 2 laps.  The morning was over and cold and wet we packed up.

 “Where is the soup?” Someone bleated. “It’s spring” was the reply “Soup is for frostbite series”…who could tell the difference!!
