Very pleasant day at the lake, 14 competitors were almost outnumbered by the Swans ( 12) a light Northerly breeze that came and went made it frustrating at times but the sun shone all morning and we got 1o races in with a couple of breaks. Many thanks to the 3 visitors who came.  Darin won the day at a canter,  A very enjoyable morning much more relaxed than normal for this series. Next round is July 17th .

Darin B, GBR 98 winner on the day.

Another great day of racing at Scotland Farm, 12 skippers turned out including 2 visitors for round 2 of the summer series. Steady south westerly breeze 5/8 knots and clear blue sky gave the skippers some challenging conditions and a great eye sight test as the windward mark seemed to be in another village. Racing was very very close, and if you got ahead you had to cover your _____e Some notable results that wee nice to see were Gordon and Bert getting a 1st and a 2nd each, in all 6 different skippers recorded a 1st place .   At the end of the day Mick C took the honour’s by a whisker Bob Geary series leader came home 2nd and one of our visitors from Fleetwood Michael P getting 3rd slot . Many thanks to all for barging on the start line and the good humour in which you did it, Thanks to the visitors for putting up with us. Next race in the series will be on the 12th June. so if you wanna be a part of this great series. !!!

A great days racing at Scotland farm , Fresh south westerly winds gave the mixed fleet a real test. The rain stayed away and everybody had a great time. Results below , and I am sure there will be a full report coming in the next few days. Well done to the lady’s who all helped with the bacon butties tea and coffee and the all important scoring , many thanks to Ivan, Roger and the finishing line team , sorry if I have missed anybody out , I am tired and need some sleep after an exhausting days racing, Thanks also to the competitors who made the event so enjoyable . Well done to David Darwell and John Tushingham who won their respective classes .

Probably the best morning of the summer so far with clear blue skys and a warm gentle breeze that got stronger as the morning went on, Chris Elliott OOD starting proceedings on the south bank, but by tea break the wind had veered 120 degrees  before finally settling in the North East quadrant for a spell, finally veering further into the South East when a move back to the South bank was made .The racing was close fought up and down the fleet and there was little to choose, The long beats needed care with the shifts and if you got round the weather mark first you still had work to do to stay in front, Consistency paid off and Dancing Dave Burke never out of the top three took the honors, well done, Phil H was unlucky to have a servo burn out and probably lucky he still as a boat as the smell of burning was extreme , the battle between Bert W 34 and Mick C 39 continues and we look forward to that next time, tactical chats in the new clubhouse each Wednesday could well be a benefit.

Many thanks to Jan for doing scoring for us you did a fantastic job, all in all a fab day of racing with 8 different types of boat from the 9 competitors.

Dragonflite round 2 summer series , although only two boats out it was a battle royal as they match raced there way round the course, Ivan and Gordon not giving an inch finally they could not be split and it appeard tobe a dead heat unless any one can find a way to tear them apart.
