The Merlins at Brightlingsea are still waiting for the first sail, the club opened again after the winter last Sunday and to date all sailing has been cancelled. One more chance tomorrow but the forecast looks bad again. Talk of another two boats joining our fleet..... If only they could find good second hand Merlins. |
Too busy making snowmen and in the wind my thoughts turned to one of our local heroes, Lawrence "Titus" Oates. |
There was a little action at Shoreham. Cancelled on Saturday, two entertaining races around the river and harbour yesterday, and out to sea today. Today was fantastic fun - proper wavy full-on reaches! |
Hi Craig |
Tamesis Club held a rather cut-down Easter Regatta - racing abandoned on Saturday with gusts reaching up to 40mph on the river. Five Merlins, three Lasers and five British Moths on Sunday, followed by two Solos and a Laser yesterday in the snow for our Bank Holiday handicap pursuit. Report, c/o our webmaster John Dunkley is on the website. http://www.tamesisclub.co.uk/Racereports.htm |
The training day on Good Friday was cancelled due to the wind as was racing on Saturday. Good racing was had on Sunday and Monday with Mike Calvert showing good form! Results attached http://www.parkstoneyachtclub.com/index.php?q=page482.html |
