27th August 2008 |
The Cruiser evening series is hotting up with several boats in with a good chance of winning. It looks like the trophy will be secured by either Beltana, Footloose or True Blew, so it's everything to sail for!
Congratulations to Footloose on winning last night - results are now posted.
Please note that the next race will start at 18:30 (not at 19:00 as previously published) due to the light conditions. |

Cowes Interclub 2008 |

Race Instructions for the Cowes Interclub race are now posted in the downloads section.
As this is the last Interclub race of the season it would be good to end the series with a good result and hopefully overtake Hardway at the top of the rankings.
To entice a few more competitors, spaces have been booked at the Folly Inn for the Saturday evening and 15 spaces on the pontoon for boats to moor. This is not the traditional "Folly Jolly" (which is scheduled for 20th September) so don't worry if you can't make it.
The RI's will be posted shortly in the Club foyer along with a list for those wishing to eat at the Folly. Please note there is a maximum of 40 spaces and only those that book will be in the main party.
I look forward to seeing you there.

I'll huff and I'll puff... |

6th July 2008 |
It was windy. And gusty. Yet lots of boats were still keen to race the Combined Harbour Regatta on Saturday. First off were the Cruisers who outnumbered the other fleets, and shot off up the harbour with a long course to Bedenham Pier. Harway SC's Pink Lime, managed to steal (yet another) victory followed by Blue Shark and Kerry J, both also from Hardway. First PSC boat was Beltana in fourth by the smallest of margins from Scramasax (fifth), leaving Steve Freeman wondering what he has to do to win a race!
The Victory's were small in numbers (9) but were vocal at the prizegiveing and social, and are as ever, always welcome. However we only ever know them as their sail numbers. Fortunately they seem to know each other by first names, so who are we to argue.
The dinghy fleet was hotly contested in the fitful breezes and short chop. Virtually everybody was in the drink at some stage before the start, but at the off, a healthy fleet started the racing with Chris Davies and Pedro Lego in a Laser 2000 winning finely from Paul Bayliss in his RS700. Race two saw Bayliss' halyard fail at the top mark, leaving the win to Chris and Pete again in a depleted fleet consisting of only them, Rob Eastwoods RS200, John Powell's RS 600 and a battling but worthy Joe Simmonds in his Topper. These all finished in those order for the CHR results.
The fleet plus hanger-oners were entertained by The Caws Bros. and Steve served BBQ for two and a half hours until the entire contents of the fridge and freezer were eaten.
Following such a superb day, it was a bit of an anticlimax for the final day of the SuperCup on Sunday to be cancelled due to even stronger and gustier winds.
This left Chris and Ingrid Davies (along with Pete Legg as stand in crew) as overall winners of the series. |
