Monday 22nd August 2016

As Vinyl Solutions was unable to sail I invited myself to sail aboard Crackerjack where I was witness to some expert helmsmanship from Dave Butter's son Jack. David Lush was press ganged into becoming Race Officer for the evening so the decision was made to only fly jibs, as Jobs for the Buoys could only have 4 crew. A course of 26 to Port, Bell Race Mark to starboard and then a windward/leeward using South Deep twice was set. However the fast ebbing tide caught out many boats notably Easy Tiger, who resorted to engine, and Jolly Roger whose time was severely effected.
Pheonix, starting at the box end got away quickly whilst Wijit was adjudged over the line and had to return. The huge tide at 26 meant extreme care had to be taken but, once round Pheonix had a clear run to finish whilst Madeleine, Flying Colours and Crackerjack battled for the remaining silverware. The race was ultimately shortened to Glovers with the following result:
1st Pheonix
2nd Madeleine
3rd Crackerjack
4th Flying Colours
5th Zaphod
6th Wijit
7th Jobs for the Buoys
8th Jolly Roger
DNF Easy Tiger

I have now noticed my mistake with regard to separating the Summer and Autumn Series !!
Congratulations to Roger Morris 1st, Duncan McCarthy 2nd and Andy Taylor 3rd for the Summer Series.
