7th Dec – Cobley Series Race 12

Light winds for the final rounds of the Cobley Series on Sunday.

11 sailors made it out for the Pursuit race with Chris H (Comet) taking an early lead. The lack of wind hampered many of the sailors, with Chris H finishing 1st, Ralph (Solo) 2nd & Newton (Solo) 3rd.

Newton wins the Cobley Pursuit Series, Chris Hilson 2nd & Hugh 3rd

The wind picked up for the Handicap race, and a procession of Solos led for the first lap, with Darren in front, closely followed by Ralph & Newton.

Darren lost out on the second lap, slipping into 4th, with Ralph inheriting the lead. Newton got past on the final lap to cross the line 1st, Ralph was 2nd & Karen (Comet) 3rd.

On Handicap, Karen finishes 1st, with Chris H & Newton 3rd.

The result means Will S wins the Cobley Handicap series, level on points but with more wins than Newton who is 2nd. Chris H finishes 3rd.

A big thank you to Adrian and his team for running the racing on Sunday.

After the race, there was Spicy Sweet Potato Soup, mad by Karen.

We’re back on Sunday for the first rounds of the Frostbite Series.
