Good wind, great competition and a sociable club. What an amazing weekend at the inlands!
Race 1 began with a light-ish breeze and a great tussle between the top few boats including Reg and Gemma, Bob Towler, James Penty and Dave and Ed Coady. However, after many place changes the lighter winds favoured Henry and Jamie Rastrick and they stormed ahead of the fleet taking 1st place. A great race for Bob Towler gave him his best position of 3rd, just pipped by Reg and Gemma for 2nd.
The Notice Of Race for the NeilPryde Nationwide Series 5 & Inland Championships at Beaver SC has now be published. This event is also part of the Northern Travellers series.
On Saturday 7th september the 3rd Neilpryde Nationwide event and Southern Championships was happening at Hill Head SC. This was also a southern traveller and national squad qualifier meaning a good turn out of 29 boats. The event kicked off with no wind therefore causing a slight delay to the start time. The wind filled in quite soon after the AP flag was raised enabling the sailing to start.
A mixed bag of conditions met the competitors this weekend at Annandale in Scotland for the Scottish National Championships, the third event of the Nationwide series. Greeting them for the first race was light winds shifting frequently as it passed over the trees on the shore, the decision from the Race Officer was that 4 races would be sailed on the first day because the forecast was heavy for the next day.
Racing was held on the 4th & 5th May 2013. Sarah & George won, Rebecca & Nimah were 2nd, Midge & Harriet were 3rd.
All racing was videoed and uploaded to the Looe SC page on YouTube so everyone can enjoy watching it.
