Fantastic racing from start to finish, 10 skippers came to the line, with a great breeze from the south west that enabled us to sail straight down the lake on the East side with just the normal A rig, Racing was nick and tuck wherever you were in the fleet, Great to see the Harpham boys back again after a bit of a layoff and good to see new boy Adrian with his new DF 65. Great atmosphere on the bank and it really was a pleasure to race. Mick C just got the better of Keith H to take the top spot, So just one round left in the summer series which is on September 30th to decide who wins the trophy. As you can see all on the series results it is all pretty close with Gordon just holding all the aces.

Thanks to all the helpers and the OOD’s

Great DF 65 racing from 2015

Fantastic morning of racing, probably one of the best of the season . Chris G has certainly got his B/P wound up, chased hard by Peter C,  and the TNT of Mick C . many thanks to the OOD’s and all the helpers for making the event run smoothly , also many thanks to Roger B for staying on and fixing one of the mowers, which will be needed very soon. The lake is in first class condition as we approach  the last races of the summer series.

“I wanna tell you a story” Chris round 6 winner and well deserved.

6 Skippers in the DF 95 fleet had some great hard fought racing in fantastic conditions , sun, breeze, and good humour.  Mick C took the podium with five wins from twelve races.

well done all for some great racing.

Sorry everybody just trying to catch up this is the results of the DF 65 round 7 race on the 26th August great result from Bill Mc who takes it on countback, it was a bad weather weekend so lets hope the next round has a better following

, Nice to see new boy Adrian getting the hang of it with a hastily borrowed boat.

No pic of Bill but a nice one of Alan

Great DF 65 Racing

The day dawned cloudy and grey with the threat of rain, the good news was there was a strong breeze which had skippers putting a the B suit in the pre race practice, but it seemed that 15 minutes before the start the wind shut down and A suits went on most boats. The fine misty rain that followed stopped after half an hour. Racing took place on the East bank with a great beat and run course, Floaty salad was slight but did affect you if you got it, but the lake has a lot less and is in much better shape than it was this time last year. A good fleet 13 skippers had some good exciting racing, Chris E got off to a good start in race one but Mick C bounced back in race two, Jen H was sailing really well with her new set of sails and was showing some good results, Chris G started slow maybe he stuck with B rig ? but showed fine form after the coffee break, Newcommer to the club Adrian was having difficulties in the gusty conditions but will only get better and we all welcome him to the club. At the end it was Mick C with 12 points from 8 races, who took the top step with his Sedici . Racing finished a tad early as the strong winds came back in race 8 with a lot of diving on the run and a unanamous decicision to call it a day was made.

Many thanks to the race team Chris and Rob and of course Roger for getting everything sorted nice and early.

A good shakedown for those going to the Nationals next weekend, and good luck to all Lincoln skippers who are going.
