| Claro MM (Harrogate) |
| It is official, Claro MM (now only three members) has had to fold due to a proposed vast increase in rent imposed by Yorkshire Water for the use of Scargill Reservoir, Norwood Lane, Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I am sure that any club nearby will welcome any members of this club to sail on their water. |

A clear blue sky, a glassy calm and a thin layer of ice covering half the intended sailing area greeted the five visitors and five home club members to the re-run of our open meeting. Initially then, racing was impossible, so John Tushingham entertained us with a demonstration of the sailiResults for the event at Rotherhams of his RG65 in a small area of ice-free water. However by around 11o’clock a gentle zephyr sprang up from the south-east so a narrow triangular course was set carefully avoiding the “ice-bergs”. The breeze, such as it was, came and went during the day so that in some races every leg of the course had a beat in it, but by some judicious course shortening we managed to complete twelve races. John Tushingham with his Robot gave us an object lesson in how to sail in ghosting conditions and easily won the event with ten races giving him a perfect score of ten points. Roy Stevens ( Pekanto ) was second and Brian Quinn (Widget ) was third. Despite the frustrating conditions everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and all the competitors deserve credit for the very sportsmanlike manner in which the event was sailed.

18 skippers attended for a good days racing at Weecher Reservoir, the wind was changeable but with the odd course change we managed 12 races. John Tushingham of the home club showed everyone the way winning 10 of the 12 races with his new Robot, closely followed by MYA Vice chairman, Tony Edwards, also sailing a Robot into second place. Unfortunately there was one early retirement due to a rudder servo failure which proved too difficult to replace on the day.
Pie & Peas
provided by the ladies of the club proved a worthy snack at
lunchtime for those requiring sustenance. |

The
eight skippers faced very testing conditions with very little wind all day, the first race took 40 minutes for two triangles, from then on we shortened the course to one triangle and a beat. Even in these testing conditions we managed 10 races that all skippers competed in very high spirits. John Tushingham returned to West Riding for the first time in many years and lead the fleet home convincingly although the others were never that far behind with most of the skippers having lead at some point throughout the day. West Riding are one of the newest clubs to take to the IOM in the district and from their enthusiasm that the skippers have shown through the past few months and the plans they have for the future, I am sure the class will be well supported within the club. Many thanks to all. Report by Damian Ackroyd |

Only five skippers took part in the second round of the winter series, and all were members of the host club. The rather low turnout, which was a bit disappointing as no members from other clubs attended, was possibly due to the change of date at short notice, and the uncertainty of the situation on the roads due to the earlier flooding in the area. Those that did sail, enjoyed a good days racing, with 12 races and 2 discards to count.
Rob Barrow was the skipper of the day scoring 12 points overall, 14 points clear of Adrian Stanton in second place.

According to
the weather forecast, we should have had winds approaching 35 - 40mph,
but thank goodness we didn't. The fifteen skippers who took part
in the first round of the Winter Series were pleasantly surprised,
because we had sunshine most of the day, but just a sharp shower during
early afternoon. The wind was in a SSW direction which meant we
could use most of the Carnaby lake. Steve Booth, our OOD for the
day, chose a good course, which gave all skippers time to sort out which
was the best way to get to the first mark.
First blood went to Neil Thornton of the host club, closely followed by David Stewart, winner of both the recent Summer & Winter series. This turned into quite a battle between these two for most of the day, which shows in the score sheet above. Unfortunately a number of skippers fell by the wayside with various breakdowns of rigging, winch, or flat battery problems, leaving only half the original fleet taking part in the last few races. As is customary at Bridlington, regular tea/coffee breaks were taken after each fourth race, and at lunch time our ladies, Nicki & Ann, were on hand to serve pie/peas and gravy for those who wanted them. It was decided that as this was the first time Steve had actually done the job of OOD and made a good job of it, we will let him do it again.............................. |
