Club Lasers
Two club Lasers are now available for use by club members. “Betty” and “José” have been refurbished and are now on the beach waiting to be sailed and to join in the Wednesday evening and weekend racing. “José” has been kindly donated by Chris Garner and named in memory of José Hall. The arrangements for using the club Lasers can be found on the club notice board.
Wednesday night sailing, 11th May 2011
A good turnout for Sailing tonight,(6 multihulls & 8 slow handicap) although it took a long time for everyone to get in! In the crows nest we couldn't put the light on when it got dark because we wouldn't be able to see the boats,
therefore we couldn't see the clock, so had to use a keyring torch!
During the race we had extra excitement when a yacht ran aground, twice,
it seems she was trying to leave the river!
First Saturday's Racing
Five Lasers and two Darts competed in a 20 knot southerly around an upwind / downwind race in the river. The race results page has been updated with the results - John Daniels was the winner! There is also a short video for you to enjoy(?).
Race results updated for Wed 13th May
The race results page of the website has been updated. I will no longer be reporting race result updates to the website as "news" - the results page will be updated after each race (or at least weekly).
Race results for Wednesday evening racing now available online
The race results are available online - the aim is to update them immediately after each race. The results can be found under the "Club Racing" menu item and "Results" sub menu - or just go here.
Photos from Wednesday eve race
Photos from the third Wednesday evening race are available here. Many thanks to John Eggett for providing the photos.
Second Wednesday evening racing results and photos
Photos from the second Wednesday evening race are available here. Handicap class results are here - Dart results coming soon. Another sunny and gentle introduction to the season - although there were a couple of capsizes between the red and green cans! These photos have also been uploaded on to the Information Center at the club.
