CHANNEL ISLANDS #2, 5th JUNE

With the hard core races in Vancouver for the RNSA single handed race plus a flat calm

at 0830 it is hardly surprising that only 3 boats were on the breakwater for the skippers

meeting. The start was delayed to 1015 when right on que the very light southeasterly

became a slightly stronger northwesterly. Much commotion on the start line as spinnakers

were set only to come down again off Deadman Island. It was a slow beat to Batt Rock

but a promising wind when we got there. FANDANGO beat out ALACRITY to the mark

while MADRIGAL was struggling with the light airs. FANDANGO stretched out a good

lead to Welbury Spar as ALACRITY acknowledged the increasing wind by changing to

her normal headsail. The beat to the Channel Islands saw FANDANGO changing

headsails and putting a reef in the main thus allowing ALACRITY to close the gap

rounding the Islands.

The return to Welbury Spar was a further spinnaker run for ALACRITY while

FANDANGO made a broad reach towards Batt Rock to pick up the tide. ALACRITY

rounded first but a slowish, short handed spinnaker take-down saw FANDANGO

closing the gap. Batt Rock was rounded a second time and the run home saw 7 plus

knots on the meter. A slow start but a grand finish that saw ALACRITY take line honors

but FANDANGO take the prize on corrected time.
