The Fosse Trophy was run on Sunday 13th in a brisk wind from the West South Westish  that had the fleet sailing in B suit  , with no dingy sailors at all to worry about , Sunny but a chill wind . First blood went to Bob , with Graham coming in a close second a great start , David boy Gunson coming home in 5th with the Widget was not really where he wanted to be , The second race was won by Gordon, with David starting to get his act together and Graham slipping to 5th where incidently he came in all the remaining races , Consistant was a word I was looking for , Peter the new kid on the block had a good time sailing Davids Gadget and we hope to see more of him , Colin had a sort of up and down day with a best place of 2nd in the fourth race, and Ivan suffered from fiddly breakages that put him out of two races . The winner  wasDavid boy Gunson so congratulations to him and I am sure the celabrations went on well into the night RESULT AS FOLLOWS

Hi, well this coming Sunday the 29th we have our first full day events with Match racing in the morning and fleet racing after Lunch, The weather does not look to bad with the wind from the North East around 15 knots so it could be B rigs, temps around 8/9 so wrap up warm and don’t forget to bring a sandwich and flask.  Only a few days and we will be into May and hopefully a bit of a change to warmer weather . I will be off to Scotland next thursday for the  2nd ranking event of the year so I really do hope the weather gets warmer, Please don’t forget the event on the 11th May,3pm  try to pencil it in because it could do us a bit of good with the main club , when i get back from Scotland I will finalize all the details with you all , Thats it for now see you at the lake on Sunday.
