<\/div>\n
This Sunday saw Reading Sailing Club participating again in Bart’s Bash the world’s largest sailing race with some 598 clubs in 80 countries\u00a0holding races over the same weekend, raising money for the Andrew Simpson charity. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Weather at Reading was fairly grey with light winds, as emphasised by the Virgin Hot Air Balloon carrying out a fly-over of the lake at about 100ft, 30 mins before the start. \u00a0Never a good sign for windy conditions! \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
With the wind coming from the North, and filling in to 1-2mph, \u00a0James the \u00a0SOOD (yours truly) started the races from Tektona, the first being a small buoy race for the oppies. \u00a04 boats, consisting of Bea, Jemima, Lucy and Nico, all coached by Hadey and William. \u00a0Jemima showed the way with Bea, Lucy and Nico coming in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively,\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
After the Oppie race came the main fleet consisting of 15 boats, with the course being Xp 5p 9s 4p 2p S. \u00a0Adrian in his souped up Laser (Rooster 8.1) lead the first lap, with Mark B in his Laser following and the Solos of Chris and Phil in hot pursuit. \u00a0 The second lap had the added entertainment of a fly-over of 3 Tiger Moths in tight formation. \u00a0There were two battles royale going on between Adrian and Mark, and the Solos of Phil and Chris. \u00a0 M<\/span>ark managed to overtake Adrian by lap 3, with Chris overtaking Phil on the fourth lap.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
On the water Mark crossed the line first followed by Adrian, then Chris followed by Phil. \u00a0Lower down the pack Milo crossed the line in his Laser Radial a couple of seconds in front of Hadey in hers! \u00a0Hadey’s marked her finish with speculation (later confirmed to be true) that her Laser was taking on water, and reminding the committee boat that she won Wednesday’s Twilight race. \u00a0Needless to say that there wasn’t much sympathy coming back from the committee boat, with remarks that the student (i.e. Milo) had now become master, and Wednesday was soooo last week!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rhys brought the first Topper home ahead of Thomas, and while Carlos brought up the rear he certainly won the prize in sailing the most relaxed race. There were comments on the committee boat that if he got any more relaxed he would be mixing up cocktails on the foredeck, which was thought to be a fine idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Final results are as below. After applying the Barts Bash handicap system, Chris took the honours of the day in his Solo, followed by Mark, then Phil and in 4th, Chris in his Comet. \u00a0 In terms of the PY system, I think it is only Ron that has cause to complain. If the Club’s PY numbers were applied using the single handicap number for a Mirror, then he would have edged up from 5th into 3rd. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, whisper it very softly, if you look at the corrected speeds (the Bart Speed), then Jemima in her Oppie takes the overall honours for the day!\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway well done to everyone who took part, especially for those for whom this was their first race or who don’t race that often. Well done for taking part. Thanks too to the OOD team of David, George, Laura, Mike, Steve and William. And thanks to to Ann and Suzi for organising the Cafe and Kuchen afterwards. \u00a0The club raised over \u00a3100 for the Andrew Simpson charity\u00a0not including any online donations<\/span>, so well done and thank you all for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
