Summer Series 2009

We started the series today after a long delay due to the weed problem! and what a beautiful day, with a fresh SW breeze, and really warm sunshine. Roger was in fine form, winning five of the six races, with Neil chasing his stern and putting the pressure on, which paid of in race three with a win, and four second places.

The rest of the fleet did not fair so well, with Tom having battery trouble, yours truly with a winch problem, and we still are picking up the odd pieces of weed, which ruins the performance, this resulted in no less than eight DNFs (Did not finish)

ROUND TWO

Another good SW breeze, at times just on the top of No1's kept us all happy, except Roger, who had major gear failure with his sail winch which put him out of the racing for the day.

Mick Giles was on top form, with a win in race one and race five, and two third places to add to his score. Neil won race four and the final race, and two second places, to put him in the lead for the series.

The weed is still a problem as short strands attach themselves to the keel and or rudder, with devastating effect on performance.
