2nd September – the Thursday Finale

By popular demand the Thursday Finale was held allowing one more evening sailing session. It was overcast but warm with a NE F2-3 breeze making for a pleasant evenings sailing.

All seven boats were singlehanders with the Lasers being the biggest fleet. 

Race One

After the first lap in race one the first four rounded the leeward gate only a few seconds apart with Joe leading the pack.  After the second and final lap Joe and Richard led across the line making it a Solution one, two finish for the Solutions however the Lasers were only a few seconds behind with Mark beating Richard by 2 seconds on corrected time.

Race Two

Race two saw the Solutions in the lead after the first lap with Richard just ahead of Joe. Rob, sailing the club Phantom was also in the mix having realised he hadn’t put any rig tension on in the first race. In the final lap Joe sneaked past Richard to take line honours and another win, with Richard in second beating Mark by 8 seconds. As they say, every second counts.

Supper time

A

Back onshore the evening was drawing in and Richard had come prepared with his late night boat packing tool, his son’s headlight which proved extremely useful.

With the temperature still in the high teens we decided to finish the night testing Phil’s new lighting system by having supper and beer on the prom. Many thanks to Phil and Des for arranging the nights racing, a great way to finish the seasons Thursday evening sessions. Good luck to our Solution Team of David, Joe & Richard as we welcome the Solution fleet to our club for their National Championship this coming weekend.

Regatta – Day 1 Report

The Racing got underway at around 1:30pm slightly later than planned but its always good form to wait for the boat that helped everyone else launch!.  With the wind a NE F2, the locals headed along the beach to avoid the tide, Jonathan (Laser) heading more out to sea.  Richard / Robyn (Rs400) completed the first lap closely followed by Don (D-one) Jonathan a couple of minutes behind, Nick Nick (Vareo)  Richard (Laser) then Mark & Phil (Lasers) having misjudged the tide a way behind.  Richard stretched the lead enough by lap 3 to take the Win from Jonathan and Nick.

Phil Highfield had arrived to late for race 1 to join Curtis as the 2nd RS700 in race 2. 

Race2 with the wind probably a F3 soon got underway with everyone now keeping inshore for the start of the beat, Phil leading the asymmetrics to complete lap 1, Jonathan again leading the lasers but in much closer formation.  Curtis was going well in his 700 until Phil Harlow mentioned the same on 2 occasions, both resulting in a quick swim for Curtis followed by a swift recovery.  Phil pulled clear to earn the extra lap, but would finish 4th behind both guests Jonathan, Nick and Richard.

Phil – In the new club laser very kidly Donated by the family of and in memory of David Sanger.

Race 3 – The wind swung a little more Easterly and the boats got underway at the top of the tide, All the asymmetric were going well,  Nick Vareo  had the lead on corrected time at lap 1,  Jonathan closest on corrected,  Phil also going well in the 700 and again had a extra lap.  After 4 Laps it was Nick who took the win and Jonathan just pipping Phil to 2nd by 2 seconds.

One of the closest battles of the day would be between Mark and Richard in the Lasers,  today was to be Richards in all 3 encounters.

So after day one, Jonathan has the lead by just one point from Nick then Richard 2 points adrift.  Good luck to everyone tomorrow and thanks to todays Race team of Nick, Phil and Keith
