Great days racing from the south bank into an easterly wind which varied slightly throughout, Dave Rigby did  good job of moving a couple of bouys and sorting a good course. 10 skippers (some absentees attending a Midland event) Dave put his marker down winning 3 early races but then Jen found form and ending the 10 race day with 5 wins! – untouchable! results and a few piccy below thanks to Peter Helen and Alan Edgar.

Watch out for the accumulative, to see who has won the Winter series !!!!!!

Another great day at Lincoln 15 skipper arrived with a fairly strong south easterly that veered slightly through the morning. Mick C 46 took the first bullet, on the full length course ok n the South Bank, all skippers had gone for B rig , which stayed with the fleet apart from one skipper who chanced his arm for three races then reverted back. Racing was as usual, fast and very competitive, Pete W 65 took race two and Adrian C 77 with a superb performance on the day took the 3rd Bullet, good performances were being seen Roger B 58 sailing his Brit Pop was having a private battle with Mick Cooper 39 and only three points in it at the end, I am positive everybody enjoyed their morning except perhaps Peter H 60 whose winch packed up, The racing was held in a terrific manner, and our thanks must go to Chris and Tim who set the course , and Roger B for getting all the gear out.

Chris E 74 yet again showed his class and won the day with his Brit Pop , with Tim H 44 sailing out of his skin to take 2nd place with the very quick V11 , third spot was Pete W 65 sailing his Venti .

Very well done Chris

Another great day at Scotland farm 13 skippers contested some great racing with the DF 95 fleet. A steady breeze and all boats on A suit , racing was on the the East bank with the wind in the North East, it was a perfect beat and run, although some shady shifts were there to catch out the wary and unwary alike.

Mick C 46 was out of the blocks fast in race one, with Roger B 448 a close second , and Mike W 76 took the bullet in race two, with roger B 448 keeping his consistency by getting third spot. Jen H 69 and by her standards starting slow got the bullet in race three, The racing was very close throughout the fleet and it was great to see Gordon B 38 back in action, Mick c 53 was having some good results and will be pleased with his day , as will Alan N 438, We welcomed Colin Toll 431 as our visitor and we just need to help him with his set up and I am sure he will do well. Kevin E 02 started slow, but gradually got to grips with the rig, and will be a useful Radio sailor in the not too distant future.

At the end of the day, Mick C 46 had it all under control with ten points from 9 great races, Jen and Mike took the remaining places in a set of races with good manners, all round , in particular it was great to see skippers talking to each other, when close quarter combat was needed, The fleet at Lincoln is steadily improving, And everybody I am surer must have been pleased with the morning.

Very well done to the winner and all skippers and helpers.

Consistency, is what we all strive for and just sometimes it all works out.

This was the last DF race in the Winter series , The summer series will start in April , If your reading this and want some decent racing why not come and join us, you know it makes sense .

Wow, I guess I always say that just lately, A fresh South Easterly greeted 17 skippers, a tad chilly to start, but with wall to wall sunshine and a brisk three full length beats, you soon warmed up, Pete W 65 fast and comfortable with A suit ( choice of most) he blitzed the first race with his Venti with Adrian C 77 in the Sedici 2nd , Mick Ch 46 taking 3rd spot. race two Chris E 74 got going and took the next two bullet’s, Racing was a little one sided in that it was a long starboard beat and a couple of short port tacks , it did improve as the morning wore on as the wind backed further into the East. Chris G , OOD for the morning kept racing going at a steady pace with most skippers taking a turn on observing start line duties, but still racing of course, the racing was fast and furious throughout the fleet and at the top end of A rig, words got a little more heated than was necessary at times, and we must all try and contain our emotions!!!! the wind picked up after race five and one or two changed down to B rig and this gave Rob W 97 his first deserved win Chris E 74 took the last race still sporting his A rig . The power of the Brit Pop and Chris’s experience shining through despite the strong challenge of the two Venti’s , who it would appear need to up there game a little .

Many thanks to OOD and helpers , a great day for racing at Lincoln, and with two rounds to go ” it could be all Over ” you will have to do the maths , thanks again to all the skippers who are supporting the club.
