30th April 2023 Race Report

Barnwell 5

After an initial General Recall due to over enthusiasm on the line at the start, the morning race set off again with the Lasers of Sue Murray, Linda Spiller and Jane Anderson leading the way in a light breeze. There were 8 competitors and they all settled into their own rhythm as the laps progressed.  The full length and width of the lake was used which produced an excellent course which everyone much enjoyed!

Sailboat 5

The breeze was much stronger in the afternoon which provided more of a challenge for helmsmen and women! Roger Heasman had an unfortunate capsize in his Bosun and he was forced to retire with a boat full of water to empty when he reached the Pontoon.  Meanwhile, the rest of the fleet once again enjoyed an excellent course with only the upwind legs being quite challenging in the gusty puffs!  Everyone enjoyed a great bank holiday racing day – even though the sunshine proved elusive!
