Will quickly recovered, but Darren’s tiller extension broke and he was forced to retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A long beat up to the far end of the lake had Mike & Al\u00e9 (470) in first, followed by Hugh (ILCA7) & Rhys (ILCA6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhys overtook Hugh on the reach, before both of them passed Mike & Al\u00e9, who had capsized on the penultimate mark. Further back, Joel (ILCA6) & Richard W (ILCA7) were having a close battle & Paul W was braving the conditions in his Morbic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike & Al\u00e9 required assistance from the safety boat team to right their 470 & retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ralph meanwhile had opted for the smaller rig (ILCA6) but after two capsizes also retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhys crossed the line 1st, with Hugh 2nd & Will S 3rd, having worked his way back through the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On handicap, Rhys was 1st, with Will S 2nd & Hugh 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big thank you yo Newton & his team for running the racing and providing great safety boat cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the race, there was Pasta Soffrito & Mushrooms in white wine sauce, made by Steve P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re back on Sunday for the next rounds of the Cobley series, as well as the Junior Regatta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A strong breeze from the southwest with gusts up to force 6 for the final round of the Gillette series last night. 9 boats made it out for the start, where the wind quickly built further. All boats were right on the line at the start, but Will S (ILCA6) & Darren (ILCA7) both suffered capsizes just after the starting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jollysailor"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9D017-Kb","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2863"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2870,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2863\/revisions\/2870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/550119388_1216737927157907_5577657976185489002_n-1-768x1024.jpg\")
