Wednesday Points 1
After the worst possible start to the day's events , with a break in, to the club ,in the early hours of this morning , it flourished into , what was probably the best day in Beaver's racing scene , so far this year .
Seventeen , satisfied their desire , to end their day , with the buzz of the first Wednesday evening sail and it turned out just perfect .
Peter Hone , in his second home , the committee boat , was eager , to set his military presidence , to how a race should be run , aided by Professor Thomas Rennie and as expected , everyone got off , to a perfectly timed start .
Gemma Francis-Burnett at the helm of her usual rival , Martin Penty's RS200 , broke to an early lead ,, with the master Martin sat upfront , in charge of the jib and kite .
Chris Goodall out for the first time this year , had the worst possible start to his season , with a rudder failure , and had to be satisfied with a five minute ride , towed behind the safety boat , but the Supanova is planned to be repaired , in readiness for the bank holiday .
The Streaker's out in force were split by the lasers of Frank Duhrkoop , Steve Winter , John Manning and Richard Carter , with Emma Grayson taking the front spot , only to be engulfed by the of Lasers , leaving light weight Tim Waller , to sneak by , in the borrowed Streaker of Friend , Martin Penty .
The Mirror's , to no surprise , were led by Matt Grayson , keen off the start and ready to inflict another win , on fellow rivals , Richard Rennie , Malc and Andy & Jack , managing to hold off the bunch from start to finish .
Bob Towler , after another abismal start , managed to pull his way , back through the field , but had to fight , to get the better of Nicole Ruhmann ,with Ben , equally trying to pressurise Emma Grayson , into making a fatal mistake , but all to avail, with Emma holding on , with inches to spare , on the finish line .
On conclusion , a great night , although the temperature did fall dramatically , but , dismissed by the strong fights within different groups , within the race .
Thanks to ROD , Peter accompanied by Thomas and as always Liz .
A big thanks to Helen Penty and Stu , attending the club , early this morning , to sort out the whole issue , of the break in and to Tim Waller and Gemma for their help in cleaning up .
Thanks to Peter and Matt , for their involvement in helping with the guidance of our young sailors this afternoon , much appreciated .

Racing Results 7.4.19
The Handicap Bandits took the top three places , in the morning Early Bird 1 ,with Joyce close behind , pushing The Penty Power duo well down the leader board. Ben had an excellent sail , leading his fellow Streaker bunch by a good leg , after an early attack from Quentin , on the run down to buoy five , from buoy one .
Good to see Emma Rumgay , joining in the racing , but as always would have preferred a little competition from other juniors , especially Topper Sailors .

Thanks to Liz and Peter Hone , our ROD Martin and family , our family spectators , especially Terry Postlethwaite , still finding the time to pop down .
Today's competitor's , enjoying a fabulous days racing , with ROD Martin Ibbotson and his band of merry men in the committee boat .
Great to see our old faithfuls , back where they belong on a Sunday, down on the waters at Beaver .
A steady increase of numbers , has led to sixteen out in the EarlyBird 1 and fleets in the afternoons two races are all up , with points been registered on the board's for all fleets .
Joining the racing fraternity, for the first time this season were Andy and Jack , blowing the cobwebs off the pale blue Winder Mirror , Emma Rumgay our sole Topper sailor, Streaker sailors Stu and Roy Moxom and laser sailors Frank Durhkoop , Steve Winter and young Nick Bell .
Our ROD , Martin Ibbotson, was joined by family members , wife Linda and son Jack , who had travelled up from Norwich , to help ease the pressure of the days events .
With a splash of sun and a steady breeze , topped off with a welcomed spring like temperature , it was the perfect day to ease those old bones back into this fantastic sport , with the club having a real buzz , with the influx of sailors and Family members , eagerly watching from the seats outside the club .
Early Bird 1. 31.3.19
With the clocks going forward and the fact it was Mother's Day , we were pleasantly surprised on the good turnout , especially with bitter cold weather .
The biggest factor to numbers turning up , is obviously the wind and the forecast today was a little on the low as our fourteen Sailors , soon became aware of , with gusts teatering on the mid twenties .
It's certainly strange , the way numbers fluctuate , in fleets , from the dominance of the Streaker's , now struggling with four out , to the RS200s , holding their own , with four out on a regular basis , with that being the case today .
Team Ollie and Esther , started , where they finished last Sunday , focused firmly on , leading from start to finish , as they certainly did , in their two races sailed today .
Archie Burton , back from his endless travels , was more than suited to the keen winds and left his fellow slower friends , the Mirrors and the Qba of Joyce Dickinson , fighting it out a good half a lap behind .
Lord Ibbotson , was a little unsure of the conditions on arrival , but with the soft top down and pans away , causiously made his way to the start , on what turned out the beginning of a great day .
Joining in the fun was our soluctry Laser Sailor , The Statesman , John Manning , while youngster Nick Bell , chose to practice in dad's Laser on the smaller lake , accompanied by Tim in the Topper and Richard Whyley and family , having a blast in the Topper Topaz .
Our ROD RichardHanby and assistant Stu , set some interesting courses throughout the day , which certainly made the most of the spritely conditions , with all craft enjoying some exhilarating Sailing at some point , over the three races .

Fleet Racing , Spring Points
I am pleased to report , we actually had three Fleets out today , to the disproval of our ROD , with the Mirrors and Streakers , joining our keen bunch , the Handicap Fleet .
Matt Grayson , eager to prove , to his equally competitive rivals , Malc Ellwood and Richard Rennie , that he would be the one to beat , with Little Britches , patched up and out leading the way , although never relaxing , from the threat of his fellow companions .
Keith Mellor , along with Ben , out for the first time this season , joined hardened Streaker Sailors , Bob Towler and Quentin , for the spoils of the first points to go on the board .
Ben D-Smithers , with excellent starts , took a convincing half a lap lead on his nearest rival , Bob , who was left playing catch up , after a terrible start and incurring turns .
Quentin , has settled nicely into the new Streaker , with his crisp new sail , certainly making a difference to his position in the fleet .
Keith Mellor , joined the first race , but was unfortunate , to take a couple of baths , but was satisfied with a finish , before opting for a hot shower , instead of another race .
Ollie and Esther sailed the first of the two races , with a little stiffer competition from Martin and birthday boy , Luke Dickinson , keen to give the pros a good race .
Gemma Francis-Burnett and hen pecked Tim Waller , were well matched by the seniors of the RS Fleet , Steve Hanby and fit man Brian Kelly , but sadly sucumb to the dynamic duos pressure , but had some great battles , throughout both races .
Joining us today , with the Supanova , parked up , was Stephen Blair , paired up in the Laser 2 , with freind , Philip , having all on , to shake youngster Archie Burton , excelling in the Topper , in probably his ideal conditions .
Lord Ibbotson , held his cool , avoiding a capsize on the dreaded gybes and also the close competition with Steve & Brian , with positions changing regularly throughout the races .
Joyce Dickinson , our renowned female Qba sailor , was unfortunate to take a dip , but as we are all well aware , she's not one for giving up , but would certainly like a little more competition from our other female members .
In the second Handicap Fleet race , with the winds easing , it was ashame Ollie and Esther had chose not to sail , as Team Penty and Luke , had certainly got it together , pulling nearly a three minute gap on both Gemma and Steve Hanby , which I'm sure , would have led to close scrap , between the Kings of the RS200 brigade .
A fab days racing ,although bitter cold , but good to see numbers on the increase .
Thanks to Cherie Blair , for her tasty meatballs and apple pie , just what we needed , to take the chill off , aided as always by cheif assistant Liz Hone .
Thanks to ROD Richard Hanby and side kick Stu and everyone that made the effort in coming .
Also a big thanks to our team of jetty repairers , Peter , Quentin and Malc , giving their precious time Saturday .
You may have noticed Peter Hone , on crutches today , he went above and beyond the call of duty , by walking off the end of the jetty , whilst supervising a young sailor . ... Hope you make a speedy recovery .
