Unfortunately Keith was not available to give the scheduled talk but Bill shared his experience concerning general sailing theory and practice. Sailing then got underway in a 12 to 14 mph E  to ESE wind which was close to the limit of the A+ rig. A “lap and a leg” course was set along the south bank.

Thanks to the race team of Bill McPhee and Geoff Burrell.

8 skippers attended for the start of the Summer Series. The wind was variable in strength but fairly constant in direction from the NE. The result of this being that the windward marks came under the influence of the turbulance from the North bank which produced occasional shifts ready to catch the unwary skipper.

Many thanks to the Duty officers Chris Graves and Adrian Cripps.

Another nice day at the lake 11 skippers showed up and were greeted with a wind just North of West around 12/14 knots ( guessing) it was A suit and sometimes a struggle especially towards the end when Roger Bowtle was on B and clearly had the upper hand on the beat and the run well it was marginal. Mick Chamberlin was quick out of the box with a win but Gordon and Ivan were hot on his heels, Gordon took the next two races, and then Mick got four wins on the bounce. The racing was close and the fleet are getting better at both set up and tactics, The races were quite long today and only 7 quality races were completed, Roger got better as the day went on and finished with a second that in all honesty should have been a win, but the practice practice practice with the boat will help, just keep at it once you master the trim, you are halfway there. Ed Whitaker is improving every week and just pipped Mick Cooper on countback , A few missing faces today for this the last of the Winter series. But I am sure when the summer series starts we could be looking at 12/14 boats out each week for this fabulous series .

Many thanks to Mick C and Alan Newman as OOD’s and also to Roger who had everything set up before we all arrived
