Tales
Saturday 4th November, 2006
There was one ‘505’
Two Fireballs
Two Keel Boats
Three ‘15’s’
And a partridge in a pear tree
A south wind and 1.5m swell
A short course and a long one.
Two starts and good ones at that!
The short course race saw all boats approach the
start line on time with “Windswept” taking
their name far too seriously.
The main race also had a good start and all involved
were sailing well. Great sailing conditions saw the
fleet positions decided at the start with everyone
holding the same positions throughout the day.
Notable events for the day were the challenge between
the two fireballs with Pete & Stew being far too
comfortable with their craft to allow a real challenge
from Matt & Gary. Close behind were the cheeky
‘Windswept’ crew and Shayne & John,
silent but deadly, in ‘Town Bike’. ‘Sweat
Shop’ followed, sailed by Joffer & Russell
showing the rest of the club that ‘470’
sailors can sail anything and well. ‘Miss Molly’
with Col & Doug in control were being chased by
Bill & crew in ‘Tumbleweed’ with Kerry
close on their stern in ‘Interlude’ showing
Marriner by name, mariner by nature.
