May Day Pennant – 2nd May 2022

Last year there were three back-to-back races and 13 starters, but this year there were two races and only two starters!.

SOOD Peter Rose had a difficult task of trying to set a course with virtually no wind and the conditions on the race sheet were listed as – Calm/Nada/ Zilch/2 mph?

Nevertheless he persevered and used a triangular course 6, 5, 8 and back through the line.  

Race 1

This was a thrilling affair and Chris H/Comet increased the tension by being over the line at the start. This gave Aileen in her Comet the chance to get away and she took the victory

Race 2

You will never guess what happened in the second race!

Chris H was only over the line again (is this the Helm of the Year?).

Aileen again took the victory.

Corrected time took a bit of working out, but Aileen was declared the winner of the May Day Pennant for 2022.

Perhaps we should rename this the Comet Cup Race!

Thanks to Peter Rose and the race team of Hadey Lines, Bill Coulter, Brian Moore and Stephen Morton.
