Someone has left their race watch at Ullswater YC last weekend. If it was you, don't take it out on the cat, but contact Nick Whiteley.
Session three of the Southwest training squad saw 6 boats from across Cornwall assemble at Restronguet SC. The day started out with a presentation on starting by the coaches, Tom Cosier and Alex Hayman, that gave the principles of a good start.
The first Nationwide event of the year started with two races in changeable, patchy conditions. The first race started at one O'clock with quite a few boats managing to be late for the start despite it being only a few meters from the shore. The first beat was patchy and unpredictable but Bob Towler managed to reach the windward mark first, followed by Eddie Grayson and Rory Mackenzie/Harvey Martin, with the chasing pack just behind.
Despite the questionable forecast, 6 boats were greeted to fine conditions and a strengthening wind from the NW. There was some excellent sailing on display throughout the day.
The Notice Of Race of the Crewsaver Nationwide event 2 at Poole Yacht Club has now been published.
