Racing Results 17-Dec'25

8 sailors viewed the resident cormorant and the mist on the lake for 90 minutes hoping that some wind would arrive. Chris had brought his scratch-built mirror, which sailed rather well in the very light airs and Julyan rowed out to clean buoys 2 and 3 and reset 3 as it had been blown north. Although some boats were launched it wasn't until 11.35 that racing began with a short course of NorthPier/B, P, Y, NorthPier/B. The wind then rose sufficiently for a course of 3/Y, M, P, Y, M, O, Y, M/P to be set and 3 more heats were raced. Julyan had de-rigged and packed away, but graciously volunteered to be OOD - many thanks. By the end the gusts were strong enough to cause some diving and the drizzle had started. Those on the podium today were:


1st - R Brydges (4)

2nd - I White (6)

3rd - B Ryde-Weller (8)


Well done them and to all for waiting for the wind.


Next Wednesday is Christmas Eve and most sailors at Lakeside today were unable to sail, so it was felt that if anyone wants to sail they can, but it would not count as a series race. Currently, Sailing on New Year's Eve is on.


A Merry Christmas to all.
