Despite the arctic weather some 10 mad keen sailors took to the water today. Jerry and Chris with a band of helpers set a good course from Tektona, 7p,6p,9s,4p, 3p, enabling a good long beat down the lake. There was much indecision as to what size sails to use among the Lasers, but the brave Jon and Dave were the only ones to go for  full rigs, while the others settled for radials, Dave P took Dave I out on the Wayfarer and Newton took Steve in the Laser 2000 – everyone had obviously been keeping an eye on the forecast – 16mph winds with gusts of 26…..!!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
Well in the light airs at the start of the race, several boats didn’t get out to the start line on  time – too much boat ‘tweeking’ on shore?? – <\/strong>giving Steve the perfect start and the lead.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Seemingly there were  lot of ‘lucky’ puffs and therefore plenty of close sailing and position changing – the wind gradually strengthened and Dave C managed a spectacular death roll between 9 and 4, followed by 2 capsizes – I bet the water was FREEZING – good thing we had hot water this week!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
The finishing places were 1st Chris N, 2nd Jon, 3rd Steve, by a whisker ahead of Roland 4th.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Monica sensibly, stayed in the warm of the club house, having a good natter with Kris and treated all the sailors and frozen OOD team to hot soup – hot red pepper was the favourite choice for the day – and rolls – very welcome!!<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
