23rd September 2008 |
The last Cruiser Race of the year turned out to be an exhilarating blast round the harbour with Gallivant taking line honours and True Blew the trophy for best cruiser corrected time.
Paul Bayliss and Brian Beavis collected the overall trophy in Brians RS400.
9 Cruisers and 5 dinghies braved a blustery day with rain squalls before retiring to the bar for Rum Punch and prize giving.

Folly Jolly and Ladies Race |
|
Written by Andy Pidduck |
|
22nd September 2008 |
The fine weather bought out 21 PSC boats for an excellent rally with around 60 members managing to eat in the Folly, some inside and some out on the veranda.
Before the meal a number of members gathered on Gallivant for drinks while latecomers moored up. An opportunity to exchange rusty cans of lager for Pimms or wine was taken up by the crew of Mogil Maid with the honour returned later that evening.
Members boats attending included, Scramasax, Lulworth, Shining Light, Tania, Sealia, True Blew, Serendipity, Maggie May, Tsarina, Seraph, Farouche, Mischief, Suzette, Walkabout, Sitting Pretty, Gallivant, Gilly VI, Allos Star & Mogil Maid. Temeraire and Footloose stayed in Island Harbour but joined in for the meal and dancing after. The Folly was particularly busy and dancing space on the tables was at a premium for most of the evening especially to see the pub manager, Andy Greenwood perform on his drum set supporting regular musician Danny Bianco.
Several boats from Hardway SC moored on the South Pontoon and joined in with the Ladies Race on the Sunday at which 10 PSC and 4 Hardway SC lady helms entered. Again, the weather held fine so once past the start the lady helms gave a fine demonstration of their helming abilities.
As so often this year, Hardway prevailed overall with Lotte on Kerry Jeanne and Linda on Tania was placed as the first PSC but in second place overall. results are now posted.
Thanks to all that turned out for the last event during my period of Cruiser Captain – Please don’t forget to come and vote for my successor at the Cruiser AGM on October 9th.
