Commodore’s Plate and Summer Series – 5th July 2026

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.

Summer Series – 7th June 2026

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.
