Tamar Memorial Trophy 8

Another sunny Sunday on the Upper Tamar Lake, with a fleet of seventeen boats prepared to race. The 
helmsmen and women were so fired up that several boats were over the start line at the gun leading to a 
general recall. All the boats got away on the restart and stretched out on the beat toward the west mark. 
Neil Wallace and Nicky Buckett made the most of the light breeze and led the way to far buoy. Bob 
Sampson and Liz Royal were working hard in the RS200, with Jane Anderson and Jane Chadney 
giving chase. Emily Veal caught a gust and managed to overhaul her dad but couldn't hold her 
advantage as the race wore on. Adeney Pooler had a particularly good race, moving steadily up the 
ranks as the race progressed, as did Vicky Duncalf, getting to grips with her Laser. The wind had 
dropped substantially by the time the third lap started and this meant that the last boat over the line at 
the finish had been racing for close to two hours. Alan Tobias had clearly had enough as he gave up on 
sail power and broke out his paddle to get back to the pontoon in time for lunch.

Icicle Series 1

Sixteen boats re-launched for the afternoon race. The wind had freshened considerably, aided by the 
sea breeze that generally blows in from the Atlantic on sunny afternoons. Positions on the start line 
were being hard fought for again, resulting in boats over the line at the start and another general recall. 
The second start got away perfectly, with the notable exception of Paul Whybrow who capsized just 
after crossing the line. There was a minor course change from the morning race; the Northerly point 
was now Pinkie, not Far buoy. Unusually, Simon Veal found himself in the lead at Pinkie, which he 
managed to maintain until overhauled by Neil Wallace & Nicky Buckett in the Wayfarer. A minor 
error at Dam Green buoy cost him dearly and he dropped a further two places as the leaders went into 
the second lap. Neil and Nicky made it a double by claiming another first place on handicap, whilst 
John Buckett managed a second place on handicap, despite only being 10th crossing the line.
