The great weather , certainly puts our members in the mood for sailing , with all fleets given a welcome boost , by a good breeze and full sunshine , throughout the day .
Both lakes in good use , with a jolly bunch of Dewsbury Sea Cadets and our visitor from Berlin , Sigrun Putjenter , test driving her recent purchase from Sam Waller , the family Topper .
Another Beaver boat , will be shortly on its way to Berlin , joining the Laser , purchased last year .
Thanks to Tim Bell , Sam and Stu , for assisting Sigrun , in dismantling and loading the Topper and wish her well , on her journey home .
The Early Bird , had its biggest turnout this year , with the Streakers , being the largest fleet out , having a mixed variety of results , throughout the days races .
Nick Bell , was joined by Gemma and after her win on Wednesday evening , was keen to put the Topper out at the front , which is exactly what she managed to do , with the perfectly timed start .
Joining her at the front was , our ever improving Laser Sailor , Tim Bell and overcoming his Jet lag from his recent travels , Chris Goodall , just taking the first mark , in the Supanova .
Other Laser Sailor , Steve Winter , was also in the chase , with the three , opening a good lead on the trailing pack of Streakers , led firstly by Stu and eventually , through an excellent sail , the ever young Roy Moxan .
Gemma , led the slower pack , most of the race , but with failing winds , was pipped on the last leg to the finish , by the two Mirrors of Magic Malc and Drift King Rennie , spoiling her near perfect race .
Our ROD , Ollie , chose a figure of eight course , with the first beat , from 2 to 3 buoy , putting us , what turned out to be hell , with the wind shifts , going through 180 degrees and equally as bad , the beat , from 5 to 4 buoy , where positions , changed dramatically throughout this race and the following fleet Races .
Results will be added later ... Sorry !
