9th November – November Cup

A lovely force 3 for the November Cup on Sunday.

20 boats made it out for the two minutes silence which preceded the starting sequence. A starboard end bias meant that there was a close start line, with Richard G (AERO7) infringing Hugh (ILCA7) & Richard W infringing James P (Both ILCA7). Riccardo (ILCA6) has a fantastic start but got caught out by a wind shift.

Hugh was the first to the windward mark, followed by Steve & Rick (RS200) & James P.

Hugh managed to build a gap & remained ahead for the rest of the race. Further back, James P, Steve & Rick and Jess (ILCA7) were having a close battle to round out the podium places. Elsewhere throughout the course, most boats had someone to race with giving some great battles.

After an 8 lap slog, Hugh crossed the line first, with James P 2nd & Jess 3rd.

On handicap, Hugh finished first, with Chris H (Comet) 2nd & James P 3rd.

A big thank you to Ian H & his team for organising the racing on Sunday.

After the race, there was Sausage & Bean stew, followed by crumble. Made by Ann.

We’re back on Sunday for the next rounds of the Cobley Series.
