Ten helms sailed ten races over a course: 3/Or -7-y-4-7-y- 5/p. A true S.E. Breeze came in by 10 o'clock. Thence 3 beats, 2 runs and 2 reaches were the legs to be generally enjoyed by all present! Great sailing conditions, especially for metre boats.


Top three on points:- 1st - #43 RD(14); 2nd - #30 CS(18); 3rd-#85 TRS(23).



 
 
 

It was with some apprehension that 12 sailors assembled at Lakeside for the 6th round of the May-Jun series as the wind forecast was N 2-4kn. In the event there was enough (just) for 8 heats around P/A, R, P, A, R, P, A, B/R 7 having been replaced by A and the first lap after the first heat.


Starts proved interesting with the wind shifting often within the one minute countdown and all buoys were at times bereft of breeze. However, consistency yielded results and the top three today were:


1st - C Salter (10)

2nd - R Brydges (14)

3rd - C Wilson (14)


Best wishes,

Bruce


Thanks to Friday's IOM race team for the attached result and the following race report:

"A warm sunny morning greeted 5 sailors for the 7th race in the May-Jun

series. With a reasonable steady SE 8kn breeze, Ian set a triangular

course of B/Y, 7, 1, 2, 7, 1, 2, P/5 which lasted for 9 heats. The beat

to the finish often provided the most opportunities to gain of lose

places depending just when the lifts kicked in." - Bruce


Top places for Friday 13th:- 1st - #28 IW; 2nd - #85 TRS; 3rd - #33 RB.
