Nells Point said it was 14kts, but Nigel thought it was more like 25-36kts (F6 gusting F8!). Trevor and Steve both sailed in Topazs and Trevor won, beating Steve for the second time in 2 weeks.

Many thanks to Nigel and Jon in the Jeanneau and Will and Jean on the slipway.

5 boats prepared to set off to sail round Sully Island competing for the Commodore’s Plate. Only 2 came back under sail. As the wind increased Chris B decided to head for shore, Chris H headed towards the island but thought better of the dead run through the causeway. Karl managed to get to the far end but his mast fell down in the 4 foot short chop, which left the two Dart 16s (Pete with Pietro and Robin with Javier) to fight it out over 2 laps. Pete nearly caught Robin at the end of the first lap as the latter got stuck head to wind, but Robin held on for the win.

Only the Cats competed in the second race but Robin’s mast nearly fell down so he withdrew leaving Pete to seal the win and second place in the series behind Steve and ahead of Nigel.

Results

3 boats raced in challenging conditions. 2 Laser Radials (Steve and Danny) and a full rig (Andrew). Andrew pulled out with a pulled back on lap 2 leaving Danny an Steve to fight it out with Steve getting the win.

Only 3 boats out on the water this week, 2 racing, so there was no competition for the Watler and Centripump trophies. Steve in his Laser won both but, after warming up in the first race, Sam Hefford in a Radial was close behind Steve at the end of the second leg and might have taken a win if his tiller extension joint hadn’t exploded. Despite having to give up the extension to the Patrol Boat he finished for another creditable second.

Steve leads the series with Nigel second and Sam third.

Andrew and Nigel win in challenging conditions.

Danny was so close to finishing the series in the prizes, missing out on 1st place in the last race by 3 seconds so ending in 4th by half a point. Jason, refreshed from being on holiday and out of the boat for 3 weeks, collected both wins and finishes 2nd in the series behind Steve. Neil, despite a disastrous final day manages to cling onto 3rd.

Results

With 2 firsts Danny moves into the Qualifiers in 4th position. Next week is the last of the series. With another 2 firsts Danny would move into 2nd ahead of Neil and Jason, but behind Steve.
