Monday 29th August

It all felt a bit lonely out there as Jobs for the Buoys and Vinyl Solutions embarked on a two boat match race on Monday evening!

Unfortunately the course did not allow for a beat so, once ahead, Jobs for the Buoys didn't really have any competition, other than in sail handling around the various marks.

Nonetheless a lovely evening weather wise AND we came SECOND !! Best result of the year.
Well done Holly for helming so admirably.

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.

Monday 15th August

An absolutely perfect evening for a gentle sail around Poole harbour with a glorious sunset to finish.
A SE breeze and high tide allowed for the 7 competitors to utilise the width of the harbour from Brownsea to Salterns Marina to beat up to Bell race mark and then run back to Stakes race mark. With some of the fleet away at the European Championships in Plymouth there were fewer participants. We were pleased with our start at the pin end (others were not quite so pleased!) but despite a good scrub off prior to the race Vinyl Solutions' boat speed did not allow us to keep up. Wijit, despite starting slowly over hauled most of the fleet, whilst Crackerjack turn in another great performance to finish just behind Madeleine. Easy Tiger succumbed to a weedy under carriage and lack of spinnaker so departed early.
The European competitors scored average points.

Monday 8th August


Apologies for missing last week's results, but here is how it stands now.
A very interesting evening on Monday with a gusty and increasing NW breeze
but all boats stuck with genoas throughout. Crackerjack was OCS at the start but 
redeemed herself but couldn't get back into the leading pack. Andrew Hill's Wijit
and crew were super fast and no-one got anywhere near them after the first mark.
Flying Colours recovered from a slow start to bounce her way (literally) up to 2nd
place, using the slack tide in Wytch Channel to their advantage.
