WINTER SERIES RACE TWO
Sunday, 30th November, note the date then look at the attached photo. Hard to believe but true. Downwind the sun was positively warm on the face. A Northerly wind gave us a spinnaker start although I really think Fandango should write ÒtopÓ, ÒfrontÓ and ÒbackÓ on the corners of the spinnaker. We all enjoyed a great spinnaker run to U60. Alacrity stayed close to the Second Sister shore and stayed above the rumb line. This paid off when the wind strengthened and veered below Captains passage. The relative wind varied between a beam reach and on the qtr. Giving us over 8 knots through the water at times and allowing Alacrity to be first round U60.
Fandango was second round the mark and managed to hold a much better course than the rest of us upwind. Alacrity put a reef in the main for about 15 mins. But I donÕt think anyone else did. Saorsa and Deryn Mor were enjoying close racing near the mark but the fleet did stretch out on the up wind leg.
It was a quick race in glorious conditions and home in time for lunch. ItÕs as good as it gets.
LetÕs do it again next Sunday. 7th. Dec.
Note: Alacrity will not be out next Sunday due to crew commitments. Hopefully the first person to the club house on Sunday morning will put the coffee on. See you all on the 14th.
