Winter Walk
The first social of the year comprised a walk around the Wythop area for over 20 members. Despite a poor forecast, the weather was a little mizzly at times, and slightly muddy underfoot for a short while, but everyone made it to the end and returned to the club for some of Kayla's homemade soup.
The next event is the Leap Year Quiz on 23 February with a tatie pot supper. Miss it miss out!
Winter Wonderland
The recent rain has lifted the lake level again. Well at least the camping field is getting a good watering! The top panorama is a view that we should be rightly proud of. How many other club's benefit from such views?
Christmas Spirit
As the end of the year approaches, the last party of the season, and probably most well attended(!) took place in the clubhouse last weekend - The Christmas Party! - there was a buffet, plenty of games, some dancing and then someone noticed Santa! He had to leave his sleigh across the lake but hitched a lift from the club dory and some not so little helpers!
He led the singing of some Christmas carols, handed out presents to all the children and then went on his merry way (merry being the operative word after yet another glass of sherry!)
In the News
Find out what you may not have known about long standing club member Ian Macpherson from a recent local newspaper article WHATEVER FLOATS HIS BOAT
Hang 'Em High
Have we had some members mis-behaving? Is it to do with getting out those Christmas baubles and keeping them out of reach of the family pet?
No, it's related to another addition to the Preston / Kirkpatrick family! 'Barley Wine' has been carefully looked after by hanging high in a tree to dry out whilst waiting for a new owner to give it love & attention. Trustee Graham Kirkpatrick's favourite son-in-law, Ian, has long had a vision of him making a come back to the world of 15's. There is now a serious risk that Graham could be seen on Bass, and on the Classic FF circuit, with Ian next year! 'Barley Wine' is now at the Preston's rest home for old boats. Two old codgers in an old boat! Competing again against Alan & Keith. The mind boggles!
Birthday Girl
 |
Oh yes, it had to happen. Another birthday
for Kayla. I know you should never reveal a lady's age, so I'll make an
exception this time and won't! However, the clue might be in her email
address kayla1967. So many congratulations, on this special day - We hope she finds enough puff to blow out all 40 candles (oops). She is of course holding a birthday party on Sunday afternoon, to which all children are invited to come and play games and see Santa who is making a special visit to club. Don't forget to bring some snacks for the bring and eat buffet. The fun starts at 3pm

Winter's Here!
 |
Just as well the sailing
season's over. As you can see from the webcam, the weather has not been
too inviting. There's snow on the top of Skiddaw, and the few boats left
by the lake are at risk of floating away if the lake continues to rise! Oh to be tucked away next to a log fire. Not very good for the carbon emissions, but on a day like today - who cares! :) |
AGM
At this year's AGM Steve Hunt was re-elected
Commodore for his second year in office. For the full list of council
members click here. It will be noted that we still
need someone to be responsible for the running of the bar. If you're
interested please contact the Commodore.
Some proposals by the Hon Sailing Secretary generated much discussion. Firstly, a proposal to adopt the usual 5-4-1-0 start sequence for club racing was rejected by those present. When Roy advised that it was proposed to move the committee boat to the starboard end of the line, there was much concern raised from the floor, but in the end it was agreed to trial it for 10 weeks in the new season. Finally, consideration has been given to revise the scoring system for the championship, as the present system of giving points relative to the number of starters in the series seemed to give a significant advantage to those doing well in long series. Three options were put forward - status quo, increase the points in weekend series by the number of starters in that series, and thirdly revert to the low points scoring system. When voted on by members the scoring was very close 8-9-7 (or thereabouts!), so for next season the championship scoring will be revised for weekend series to increase the number of points by the number of starters in that series.
The treasurer's proposal to raise subscriptions in line with inflation, again raised interesting discussion, driven by those stalwarts - our Hon Auditor(!), and Ian MacPherson. When finally voted on the following subscriptions were approved for the new season
Ordinary £143
Family £65
Junior £30
Country £69
Life £57
Affiliated £58
Senior £100
The training report was given by Nigel Lewis, and advised members of the success of the current regime. Members were reminded to register their interest for training prior to the new season to ensure a place would be available.
Under any other business, members were advised of issues regarding the number of non-sailing visitors entering the grounds. Whilst not wishing to discourage genuine visitors it was felt appropriate to for council to consider some for of gate management system.
The Commodore outlined recent discussions with neighbouring residents and their concerns over some of our operations. Discussions are ongoing to address the issues amicably where considered appropriate.
Finally, the Hon Auditor raised concerns about a missing wheel from his road trailer. All was well when it was reported that it had just been borrowed, albeit without asking!
The meeting closed at approx 1630hrs
Adieu, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye
Unfortunately, today was boatman Josh's last day at the club before he goes and gets a proper job with the big boys! He's been with us a couple of years, and he'll be missed by one and all.
It's All Over
The winds were somewhat more moderate for the final race of the season. There were 10 takers, although the competition was only between the Commodore and Barry Lancaster. Steve and Ruth had to get 4th or better to beat Barry, but the handicap system jumbled up all the names, and spit out the winners in a random like order!
With Steve getting a 7th, Barry's 4th was sufficient for him to win the Winter Trophy and be first on the prize list for next year's prize giving! Following racing, the remaining marks were taken off the water and the rescue boats packed away for the winter maintenance.
It's worth taking your boat off site or moving it to higher ground as we regularly get floods at this time of year

That Age Old Question
How many lakes in the Lake District? Find out if the BBC Two QI panel know with this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/noise/?programme=qi (select Ep10 - Alan Davies)
Birthday Boy
Yes Toggle has reached one of those key milestones in life. Three score year and ten I hear you ask - No. The first half century - surprisingly no! It had to be the big 40 - many congratulations. At that age can he stand the pace of Nick Smith's wild stag party? Only time will tell.
Well by Tog's account at least - yes he rose to the challenge and survived all the stag parties to the end. Not sure whether that means he was last one standing!
November Series
Yes, it's November. Sunday only racing on a personal handicap basis. For the first weekend, Steve Hunt and Ruth Critchley mastered the light winds, and despite having their handicap amended for the 2nd race (well doctored!), they secured two wins from Wendy Lewis in her RS200.
The November series continued last Sunday. As a result of being on a personal handicap basis it tends to be a bit of a lottery as to what the results will be! The day started with light winds which seemed as if they were freshening. The odd gust passed through, but not very often. The morning race was led by William and Lesley, but the handicap system resulted in it being won by Barry Lancaster with Martin Wright crewing.
The wind was lighter for the second race, and most of the fleet were finished after one lap, but the RS400 and RS200 had to completed two laps. With the wind filling in slightly, their average lap time improved and the race was won by Joan and Jack Hardie.
It may have been cold in and on the water, but William continued to sail in a shortie. Some traditions die hard

Weekend Series
The final championship series of the year is being sailed this year. At a thank you dinner for Council members there was an opportunity for some dirty tactics between the key helms in the Mirror fleet to try and make sure their opponents were unfit for sailing. Only time will tell whether the tactics were implemented or worked!
Bridget managed to embarrass a waitress with a spoonerism of sticky toffee (pudding)!
Pete Goes Brazilian?!
I'm aware that some of you have been following the race on the website and have even contributed.
I thought it worth putting down how I feel and sharing it while it's fresh. So thanks for your interest and support. Toni forwarded them via e mail .
We sailed an Ocean; no we raced an Ocean - big difference. 4,800 miles in 31 days. We came 2nd in race 1 and 4th in race 2. Are we happy with that? No we had great ambitions in La Rochelle to win the leg. However, a disastrous trip through the Canaries found the biggest hole in the Atlantic Ocean and we emerged 10th, with a record low run for 24 hrs of 9 miles. So to climb back to 4th felt good, particularly as we beat Hull & Humber (Dumb & Dumber to us !) We emerged relatively intact with only our mid range spinnaker damaged (damaged when we crash gybed and broke the preventer - a section 5 m X 2m went missing!).I hasten to add that this was the other watch - it was 2.30 am and I was asleep at the time. Other yachts had a RNLI evacuation at Lands End by the Falmouth lifeboat - it was too rough for the sea King, one dislocated shoulder, one leg caught up in a spinnaker sheet with rope burns that turned bad and series of stitches and bruises. As well as 6 blown out kites in the fleet , two spinnaker poles have been broken in broaches or gybes and a jockey pole bent.
So have I enjoyed it? Far too small a word for the totality of the experience. It has been a test, physically, mentally & socially. No one who has not encountered the foredeck of a large yacht during a racing sail change can understand the sheer physical brutality of it. In the dark, with the boat pitching, trying so hard to keep one hand for the boat and one for the job, it makes me feel every day of my age! Mentally racing the boat is relentless. 24 hrs a day trimming sails, changing sails and 3hr watches in the night & 4 hrs in the day test ones endurance and patience. Sometimes we were sailing best course downwind for days and life becomes repetitive.
I have to say the scenery gets a bit samey ( I spy with my little eye something beginning with S) However, the biggest test has been socially. God knows I'm not a difficult man to get along with ( I can hear the chorus , thank you !) Remember the boat was called Liverpool and was crewed by a significant number of scousers. It felt a lot like big brother at times and Toni will attest to the fact that I demanded daily emails from her and the boys to bring something into my claustrophobic world. But don't get the impression it was bad - I feel I've been tested and passed, The highs have been extraordinary. Being at the top of an 85 ft mast while we're sailing, uncrossing halyards and checking for chafe: helming downwind with a following sea - surfing at nearly 20 knots: being the no 1 upwind helmsman, being on for the first spell of the watch to set the standards of course, average and top speed: dolphins torpedoing down to the boat in phosphorescent trails: being hit by flying fish : the feeling of a supportive watch - all these and more are memorable. But for me it's back to cruising. Roller reefing sails, lazy jacks and autopilots will be even more appreciated. When we parked for 48 hrs in the Canaries the skipper asked me ¨"Well Pete - from your experience what would you do to make this boat go faster" I answered without hesitation " I'd switch the f*****g engine on ! "There are not enough restaurants in an ocean to make me do it again, however, as Robin Knox Johnson said in his address before the start " for the rest of your life what will separate you from the average man is that you have sailed an Ocean" I'll stick with that-it's an achievement and I'm proud I've done it. You just may hear me talk about it every now and then and as I said at the beginning - thanks for your support - it's meant a lot.

FF Team Racing
For various reasons there has been a disappointing turnout for this year's team racing. With three boats from Derwent that expected to race as a team, they were split up and teamed randomly with one of the other competitors.
On Saturday, Robin Dawson sailed with Ian Preston and led the way for a while, but Tony Lee got into his stride and won both races. The winds were light to medium from the SSW so the OD tried to set courses avoiding the inevitable shadow in the lee of Sale Fell.
The Flying 15s had one extra player on Sunday - Neil Platt. The winds were again from the South West and swinging around Sale Fell but slightly fresher than Saturday.
The racing was again close, but in the end it was the B team comprising Tony Lee and Robin Dawson that sailed consistently to win the Viking Trophy (if only we knew where it is!). Not surprisingly Derwent featured in the prizes - one of the benefits of having a Derwent boat in each team!! Tony Lee gave a vote of thanks to the club for hosting the event.

The October series, sailed on a personal handicap basis, started on Saturday with a fleet of 10 boats. No real excitement to report, but the ever changing handicaps make it difficult to predict the results (other than someone will have a whinge)!
On Sunday. Neil Garrison managed to secure a strong lead in the first race, and so sailed 4 laps to the rest of the fleets 3. Martin Wright won on handicap.
Nigel Lewis was keen to get the second race underway, but somehow managed to be 3 minutes late, and narrowly missed ramming the Bates on mid transom. His racing ended shortly afterwards following a capsize drill (or so he may have us believe). Joan Hardie sailed a good race and stayed in the lead, but the personal handicapping system dropped her back a place behind Val Bell.
Joe Watkins had a good weekends sailing and is presently 2nd overall behind John Halliday who seemed somewhat confused most of the weekend due to the variable approach to the starting sequence which had been implemented to accommodate the F15s.

Sign of Things to Come?
Just received these photos of a long term project by Trustee Graham Kirkpatrick that was finally completed earlier this year. Obviously still drawn by the Flying 15s which he sailed for many years, he can be seen crossing the part of the fleet at the FF Nationals at Largs! Could there be a push to launch it at Bass?!
Windless Weekend
Plenty of sun, glorious views of the lake, somewhat obscured bye a wandering spider (on the webcam), but no wind was what greeted sailors on Saturday.
Ah well, you can't have everything!
Surprisingly the a light breeze did fill in across the lake very quickly, and racing got underway only slightly late (though Scumper was later than most!). The wind eased towards the end of the first race to slow proceedings down, so some boats went ashore for a comfort break. However, the OD took no prisoners and started the sequence as soon as all the boats had finished, leaving Shunty and William several minutes late for the start. Fortunately the breeze did hold for the rest of the race.
The first race, which should have been a pursuit, was canned due to it not complying with the series rules

Sunday's misty start lingered all day, and although there was some ripples on the water for a while, there was never enough to get racing started. There was more movement by the spider clambering over the webcam!
Cancelling the racing meant that series positions in the final long series of the season would stand as previously, with only one weekend series left count towards the championship.

Don't Forget to Read the Instructions!
and don't get caught if you do, which is what happened to Andy T. Having just bought a Laser Vago the instructions were out to determine how to rig it. Stephen Kirkpatrick and T took it out for their 1st sail, and suffered their first capsize having caught their downhaul on the bowsprit.
Another casualty was Neil Garrison who capsized the Dart - not sure why because there wasn't much wind!
The series comprised six races over the weekend based on personal handicap.
Shunty and Ruth seemed to be in a bit of a spin all day on Saturday - hitting the windward mark in one race resulted in them having to do a penalty turn, and in the next race an incident with Roy led to him doing another couple of turns. It didn't stop him from making a comeback and winning the race from William and Elaine on the water at least!
The light winds eased as the afternoon went on, and many seemed to be noticing the cold - what a difference from last Saturday. A beautiful evening with mirror like conditions followed.
Shunty's grappling iron impressively located and retrieved the missing anchor on the second sweep. Phew! (Don't think Ruth was looking forward to spending more time on the water with the temperatures dropping!)
As for Sunday, well you can't have everything, especially not sun and wind. As with Saturday, the breeze was generally light, and sufficient to keep the boats moving, but during the 2nd race the wind started to swing from the north leaving the fleet struggling to reach the finish line wherever that was going to be! The OD thought he would be kind and finish Big E at the top of the beat, but as he was a lap behind that wasn't possible without Big E sailing another lap. This led to confusion and frustration with Shunty and Ruth who thought they had only a few hundred yards to sail until the committee boat left its station, so he opted for a tow ashore. Similarly, Robbie D and Ethan decided to retire. However, the committee boat returned to its station and finished the rest of the boats drifting around the course before they too opted to retire.
With things not looking too promising there were only three takers for the final race, but by the time they finished the lake was mirror like yet again

Macarthur Park Pete

Here's a snap taken the day before the start of the
Clipper race on 'Liverpool 08'. Sadly (for Pete) Dame Ellen Macarthur is not part
of the crew!
The 10 yachts are currently heading away from the coast of Portugal to bypass Madeira. The weather in Biscay and off Finistere has been "brutal and relentless" (bit like Bass then!). 'Liverpool' crew are busy trying to mend the 2.5 kite which was cut to ribbons in a crash gybe at 2.30 am Wednesday (NOT on Pete's watch!) They are therefore short-handed, especially as they had to donate a crew member to 'Jamaica', so could have done with Ellen on board. I'm glad it is not me out there but they seem to be staying cheerful. Toni |
Weekend Series
Saturday - What a glorious day for sailing - T-shirt, shorts and sun cream (well for William at least), though there seemed to be a multitude of capsizes including the Commodore.
With the wind coming in a SSW direction over Sale Fell, the shifts were challenging as the down draughts hit the water. In the mirrors, Mik may have secured two wins, but the OD said there was only a coat of paint between them when they finished the 2nd race. Scumper didn't have good day - First race spent pulling Zefer's car off precipice; in rush for 2nd race realised that kite not rigged and ended up late for start. Roy wished he'd carried out his planned maintenance because the toe straps that he's had since before Bass Week now need fitted! Robbie D, with Ginger Phil crewing, was in overnight lead for the handicap series from William and Lesley, each having a 1st & 2nd to count
The OD complained that there were no instructions on how to lay an anchor! Oh how Herb is missed on his days off!
Many had been forecasting force 8 gales for Sunday - but remember Bass has its own micro climate, and though windy it was sailable. With the wind coming over Sale Fell again, the OD took pity on the sailors and thought he'd let them have a breather as they drifted in its shadow working their way from 0 to 8!
Kayla was back on the water after many months recuperating from a back injury. But jumping into a F15 with Mike was challenging for her - spinnaker poles, finding sheets, gybing poles all left her somewhat confussled!
A spectacular reach by William and Ruth before the start almost ended in disaster when they had to avoid Mike Moore (Mike effect #1), but luffing up led to an equally spectacular high speed capsize and the loss of another burgee!
The afternoon course was set in the wind! Hard beats but some excellent runs/reaches down (5mins up, 3mins down). On the startline it seemed as if there'd been a massacre (well small one!) with Toggle and Big E capsizing on the start signal. For some reason Big E thought Robbie D (with Sam Hall) was to blame. Toggle had caught his pole on Mike's horse (Mike effect #2). Scumper and Zefer took the lead and kept on going, William and Ruth struggled to shake off Robbie and Mike, but did eventually get some good offwind legs in to pull away somewhat. Following one gybe trying to avoid giving Mike water at a mark, Robbie went for a spectacular capsize (Mike effect #3 - hatrick!!!) marginally less impressive than William's (according to Mike). Despite going turtle, Robbie recovered, sailed on and finished 3rd on handicap. This made no difference to his overall position of 1st having won the series with 2 1sts and a 2nd.

2 out of 10 - Must Try Harder!
Although of naturally modest and unassuming nature - I feel that the widest possible circulation is necessary to draw attention to the above result. With a northerly gale behind us we wizzed down the Irish sea - one other boat Jamaica had a casualty taken off by helicopter following an accidental gybe - the picked our way past Ushant and down the French coast. Then we lost the wind completely. Race committee shortened to 1am Thursday when we radioed in our position. It's very stressful sailing in very little wind when you can see the yacht behind you So I now have a pennant - presented to all the Liverpool crew by the Mayor which I confidently expect to be displayed in a prominent position in the Bass clubhouse. Anyone who is more interested www.clipperroundtheworld.com
Rest day today with France Ireland in the evening jobs tomorrow off on Sun - next stop Brazil

Tinker Weekend
The Tinker Association are held another of their rallies at the Club this weekend. For Saturday, following a mirror-like lake at dawn, the wind filled in significantly in time for racing forcing sailors to contend with some blustery conditions at times. There were few contenders for club racing which was run alongside the tinkers' racing in the form of a weekend series for none other than the Tinker Trophy.
The Hallidays set off for the race, but a capsize before the start made them think twice about continuing and they were ashore before racing started. In fact the start was delayed because the OD donated the Bates anchor, and warp, to Neptune as neither he, nor official starter for the day, realised that the anchor was not actually tied to the boat!
The 2nd race was delayed while a wedding party had their photos taken by the shore. Well not really, but the sailors had plenty of time to watch while the OD carefully planned the course, only for the wind to shift again - the best laid plans...
All the single handers (including the dart!) had their turn at capsizing, particularly at the gybe mark, but William and Lesley coped with the conditions and went on to win the race. There were occasions when they had to bear away from the reach on the leeward shore by as much as 60 degrees, and the shoreline seemed to approach somewhat too quickly. Common sense prevailed and the gennaker was taken down so that the boat could at least lay the leeward mark.
The Saturday night high winds failed to die down as the pressure kept dropping. The Tinkers opted to have an early finish and packed up without trying for any more races. The few club sailors that turned up waited a while to see if the winds eased as per the forecast. However, it is questionable as to whether the forecast can be believed as, at one stage, it stated that the wind at Keswick was just 10mph - As if! The recorded windspeed from the club equipment showed 37mph. While waiting for the wind to ease, Shunty and Tim went fishing for the missing anchor and warp (see later), but to no avail

Flying the Flag
More congratulations to Sam Hall for attaining 2nd U14 at Redesmere in the NW Junior Travellers series on Saturday. He went on get a 3rd at South Windermere on Sunday. Well done.
Flying 15 Northern Championships
This weekend Bass held the FF Northerns. On Saturday the weather was fantastic although the winds very light and challenging. A strong fleet of 31 boats took to the water and it was Steve Goacher that again mastered the light airs to reign as overnight leader with two bullets.
The eagle eyed amongst you will note that one boat, being sailed by brothers Alan and Eric Smith from Bass, had sail no 1. What you may not realise is that it is actually FF #1. It has been restored by the brothers and relaunched especially for the event. For the maiden voyage, it was sailed in its original state complete with wooden mast, boom and red cotton storm sails (not ideal for the light wind conditions!).
Sunday's conditions started off like a mirror, but the wind filled in for a slightly belated start just after 11am. Steve Goacher was a premature starter and had to fight his way back from 12th position at the windward mark, finally reaching 4th. Adrian Tattersall won the race but as his next best result was a 5th, it meant Steve couldn't be beaten and he was able to sit out the last race. Dave Brockbank with a 2nd, 4th and 6th came 2nd. Bass helm Scott Beattie, with John Somerville, found their form for the second day with a 1st and 2nd to secure 3rd overall.

With no
club racing, three RSs took the opportunity to sail at Ullswater's one
day open meeting with RS200 and RS400 fleets. Five races were sailed,
with four to count, in very unsettled airs that ranged from sitting out
(briefly) to flat calm. Out of the 33 RS200s Robin and Ethan Dawson
sailed well to secure 2nd overall. Of the 7 RS400s, it tended to be
difficult for helms to actually work out what position they had achieved
until the results were published. Some consistent positions by William
and Ruth gave them 12pts and 3rd overall. Scumper and Zefer had 13 pts
and finished 4th overall. Oh to be back at Bass for some steady winds!?Spot the Difference
It Shouldn't Happen to a Commodore/Husband
Beater!
After another drizzly start, the day brightened and the breeze picked up somewhat before racing got underway such that Roy, and Toggle, went for early swims (or so I thought - apparently Toggle was undertaking some running repairs). The blustery conditions continued after the start to the extent that William took the cautious route (having beaten the fleet to the windward mark!) and took Elaine ashore. Roy and Kirstie retired soon afterwards. There were a couple of near misses at the windward mark as Hugh and Rhonwen started to realise that F15s will not bear away as readily as GPs (especially when they're healing over!) but William and Shunty, though distracted by the incidents (and Rhonwen screaming tack), escaped unscathed.
Though in the lead, Shunty and Ruth put in an enthusiastic gybe and went for a brief swim dropping him back to 3rd on handicap. 1st place honours went to Dave Lawson, with Sam Hall 2nd
The afternoon race was for a pennant in aid of the Jubilee Sailing Trust, and in the usual tradition the course took the fleet around the lake. After the blustery breeze in the morning, racing was a lot more tame. William had mistimed the start by a mere 3 mins but realised just in time to not throw the race away because anything can happen in a round the laker (and it usually does!). The NW breeze allowed the fleet to run/reach (in the occasional gusts) all the way down to 12. Shunty had broken away but was becalmed for a while and the bank of boats crept ever closer. He tried to call rank on William and Elaine as they reached past his transom with that uncommon sailing term 'Do you know who I am?'. No worries though because William gybed into the lake and found a hole of his very own allowing Shunty and Mike Moore to break away. Although it took the fleet 50 mins to get down the lake, all classes were so close together at 12 it was as if they had only recently started. With Shunty and Mike heading back up the lake on the eastern shore, William initially opted to stay left. Unfortunately every time he tried to cross over the winds were against him so he just HAD to continue up the A66, getting lifted all the way. In the meantime, Shunty and Mike again wallowed in a calm patch while William held the breeze. By 7, William was ahead of Shunty, but the breeze had filled in for Shunty so it became a race to the finish. To Shunty's dismay wife Elaine was to beat him (again!) after the 30 min beat back. William reckoned that the only thing that could have topped beating Steve would have been doing the same to Neil Currie! On fleet handicap basis, it was to be Dave Lawson in his GP that won overall.

September Sailing
The first day of September started somewhat drizzly, especially for those on the training course being run by Nigel Lewis. Not sure what has happened this week, but many seem to have opted for go faster haircuts (Ginge, Jonathan, Shunty, William) - when you see the results it's clear they don't work! As for attire someone was out of step - William sailed in polo shirt and shorts while everyone else was in steamers/drysuits, and even woolly hats!
It was not as windy as the forecast had predicted (unusual for the beginners as it usually blows!). The wind did come through in waves and it depended where you were as to the benefit, or otherwise, obtained. William and Jonathan had managed to break away with one of the gusts in the first race, but 1½ laps later the wind conspired against them to close the substantial lead that they'd secured, and Shunty, with Ruth, broke through to the the lead. Then when the gennaker jammed it was Neil's turn to take another place! In the second race, there was place changes due to mishaps. Andy and Emma hit a mark (as did Scumper and Toggle) which slowed them down for a while; Shunty tried gybing off but went backwards; also, he had problems when the kite halyard jammed causing him to lose a place. Mark Rimmer should have been on capsize drill the number of times he tipped it in. An incident in the first race led to a protest between Scumper and Shunty, but the protest committee couldn't determine what had happened so the results stood. Mustn't forget to mention Roy, with Kirstie, who's back in his capsizing way. Elaine had a practice comeback to sailing in a brief session(?) with William to help blow away a few cobwebs (well apart from the one that seemed to be lingering afterwards in the bar) - depending on Sunday's weather she may be back for more! As for Shunty's comment, Jane said we'd only find out when he does something naughty!? Apparently Bridget didn't sail because she was under the doctor... On handicap, it was Andy and Emma that secured wins in each race
In the GPs Dave and Lynn Lawson sailed consistently with two wins from Hugh and Rhonwen, as did Toddy who took both races from Mik

Even More Congratulations
Congratulations to Sam Hall who won the Junior Plate at South Windermere regatta last week. Yet another piece of silverware for mum to polish!
Helipad Re-opens after Bank Holiday in Yawn City!?
Due to a busy weekend camping the the mass of
helicopters observing our activities over the lake were obliged to use
nearby Armathwaite Hall - apologies for the inconvenience! This morning the
long weekend seemed to be taking its toll with many people yawning their way
to the changing rooms. Andy S came out (not literally, but from the changing
rooms, somewhat overdressed I may add) in a dry suit which, it was suggested
by his friends(?), was more fitting for his heydays in the GP.
As for the sailing, the winds were better than
Sunday but still a little inconsistent in terms of wind strength. The
occasional holes and twin wind directions meant sailors had their work cut
out to maintain, or in several cases, regain positions and resulted in the
handicap and GP series being decided on the last race.
Quite a weekend - Southport boats capsize on purpose to experiment going turtle (somewhat difficult in our northern end) and was the salt out of their fittings. Bass boats capsize (no reason [or name] given), collide and cause some damage. Emma showed Sally the way around the course in her first ever race helming a topper (screaming continued to be the order of the day). Comments let slip about men wearing knickers. Barbeque lovers were not put off by the odd shower, or naked chef (or was that just a myth?). Also, there was the couple spotted leaving Derwent Lodge sometime after breakfast (in separate cars!). Silence started to rein in the webmaster's presence (I wonder why?!)
With over 40 boats (+Southport visitors) racing, overall it proved to be an excellent weekend and the overcast weather encountered on Saturday seems to be just a distant memory.....

Naked Cleaner!
At last, the sunny weather has found its way through the clouds, and brought along with it some wind to keep the boats moving most of the time (at least). At times, there were some gusts that allowed the boats to plane, but with no capsizes the rescue crews were able to concentrate more on the sunbathing rather rescuing! In the evening there was a quiz to test if anyone was still alert. Despite a slight error in adding up Neil Currie and Co still came out on top with 53/70. There were many red faces in the evening, but we'll assume that was down to the sun rather than the cocktails, wine, lager, etc, etc!
Big E is still getting to grips with driving a laser - on Saturday his attempts to launch were interesting, as co-ordinating putting down the rudder, and centreboard, pulling in the sails, and avoiding obstacles such as the jetty seemed beyond him for some moments! He's a clever lad, so no doubt he'll catch on quick. He reckons he doesn't want to upset Toggle by beating him too soon - although he's kept his word to date, how long will that last?
Rule books were out at lunchtime when Dave Nic protested Ginge, but it came to nothing when it was thrown out for failing to comply with the required process (sounds interesting, but it wasn't really)
Life on the campsite is as interesting as ever, with a naked cleaner pressure washing the gents toilet walls (only due to mould nothing more nasty!). Squatters were noted taking over spare caravans and tents, and became known as the borrowers for all the bits 'n' pieces that they acquired for their stay. Shunty was awarded a new nickname for the delayed pick up of various conversations - welcome Digi Steve.
Reason # 69: As I don't like Baileys I'll never have one of them!!

4th for OD!
Normally the OD would get three points for race organisation, but in today's pursuit scheduled OD Rory Yardley was substituted by Mike Moore which allowed Rory to race. As with other pursuit races in this series, the finish was very close, and various places changed in the final minute or so of the race. A beat to 0 enabled three RS400s to break through pushing Rory into 4th place. Scumper's 1st puts him in pole position in the series but equal on points to Hugh, and a point ahead of Shunty.
The sunny weather on Friday meant many started the weekend early by camping on site, together with 12 visiting boats from Southport SC. So there were several barbeques ablaze, together with scented candles to try and dissipate the midges! One not so rowdy group broke into cocktail mode slightly ahead of schedule, and, as ever, there was the odd sore head to be nursed this morning! Of course there were tales to tell of missing bags - Rich Hodgkins had managed to leave a bag on a train when changing trains at Preston. Virgin were very good at locating it but could do nothing other than let it travel on to Manchester and get it sent back to Lancaster. It's a shame that Rich had already travelled up to Penrith to be picked up by mum Bridget, so Bridget, who had hurriedly finished her barbeque before going for Rich had an extended trip to Lancaster to pick up the bag. This all resulted in a 80min trip being extended to 4 hrs! Bridget kept on smiling though, and the not so rowdy group stayed up to crack another bottle of wine with her.
The second race of the day was part of a long championship series. They same time waits for no man, and OD Mike Moore seemed to take this to heart. As soon as he had set the line and the course he started the sequence whether or not everyone was on the water - indeed, some had stiil to put their sails up. At the time the handicap fleet started, there were still six boats a couple of minutes from the line, so they endured what could be described as their second pursuit of the day catching up with the rest of the fleet. William and Lesley were one pair that had to do this - they managed to secure a clear second to Shunty and Ruth on the water, but on handicap came 4th.

Back to Normality
With Bass Week over and done with, many tend to have a rest from sailing or go for a holiday, so this weekend is typically quiet, to the extent that no sailing was scheduled for yesterday (That didn't stop Herb turning up for duty though!).
Today, despite a reasonable forecast for wind, the wind was as shy as the number of sailors. A late arrival by a Tim Smith enabled the mirrors to have a separate start, but Dave and Sarah Nicholson had to join the handicap fleet for their racing. Scumper didn't have a crew, or a gennaker, but at the last minute took the opportunity to sail Robbie D's RS200 with Ethan. The wind had plenty of holes in it, especially down the western shore, but the fleets kept moving sufficiently to complete the race in an hour.
The wind for the afternoon race didn't look too promising, but the course was set where the wind was, and it picked up sufficiently to sit out at times. William and Jonathan were in the only RS400 for the race, and were maintaining a good lead until the main halyard snapped - so much for a 4 month old piece of string!
It was to be Joan Hardie that won the race on handicap from Robbie D and Ethan
Bass Week
Above are a couple of photos of rescue crew staff Josh and Tom taken during Bass Week - for some reason Baywatch, or the Jolly Green Giant, springs to mind!
If you enjoyed the week and are planning ahead for next year then put 2 - 10 August in your diary (you won't be the first)
Ladies and Crews Race
As Andy Smith is neither a lady, nor a crew, I assume dad Alan won the race with Andy crewing - well done - use Club update for full results. So much for making assumptions - it was Emma that won - Well done!
Congratulations!
Sam Hall has today won the Mount Haes Trophy at this year's NSSA Regatta being held in Plymouth
Where's the Summer GoneHere
Comes Summer?
A gentle breeze came and went, came back again and disappeared totally over the course of the afternoon. The rain clouds that came in failed to deliver any wind, and fortunately not too much rain either!
Although there was a light breeze for the first beat, it almost totally disappeared for the two downwind legs, and boats were hunting out whatever zephyrs they could. It seemed as if the afternoon sea breeze (without any sun?) was coming in from the west, and this helped boats finish more quickly, and build up hopes for a more settled second race. However, the breeze came back from the north east, swung to the east just before the start, at which point the OD gave up and postponed racing until Sunday.
The only tales to tell are about Sally - first of all she managed to put her clothes on the newly varnished woodwork in the changing rooms, and then was at risk of having William disqualified for laughing too much, and generating extra air propelling them through a windless course!
Others felt that winter had come early and were relieved to have a warm shower after their sail. You'd think they'd keep warm by bailing out all that rain water! The following webcam shows the new shower cubicles that form part of the recent upgrade of the ladies changing area - just click on it for an update!
Overnight rain had cleared and there was a cloudy start to Sunday's racing. The forecast for 9mph SE wind seemed as if it may hold true, until the fleet started to prepare and the wind swung to the SW! However, the direction was relatively steady, and the breeze held, if not increased as the morning went on.
The race that was postponed on Saturday was squeezed into afternoon racing, allowing the sailors to make the most of the excellent sailing weather. That doesn't mean that there weren't any challenges.
At one leeward mark, Dave Wright capsized and righted just before the RS400s came roaring in. He did right it, only to find his mainsheet had lassoed the mark - the query was what at what stage he would free it and what would happen to the racing boats trying to round the mark?!!! Fortunately for most people's sake the boat capsized again.
Andy and Emma were having a good day until one spinnaker drop went slightly wrong, and they lost some ground. It was only at the end of the day that Andy noticed, and admitted, that he'd been sailing without any bungs in - no wonder the boat was somewhat heavy by the end of the day.
With Neil continuing to play Mr Grumpy with Judith, it's no wonder she's said he can have a new boat - so long as it's single handed!
The last race of the day was so shifty that the RS400s struggled to beat the other fleets to the windward mark, and then the course took the fleet under the shade of Sale Fell, making it difficult to break away. Neil went low to stay in the breeze, but Scumper and Zephyr took, and kept the lead to take the winning horn and the series.
The following four boats in the series all tied with 11 points, demonstrating just how close the racing has been - very little room for mistakes. Andy's 1st in the morning secured 2nd place, Robbie D and Ethan's 3rd secured 3rd, and Neil finished ahead of Bean and Naomi to get 4th.
The GPs only sailed three races, so Julian Cruickshank and son's consistent sailing, with two 1sts, won him the series.
Tim Smith had three bullets to win the Mirror trophy, only dropping one race to brother Rob, who did not sail the final race due to a temporarily incurable leak!
With weather like this it's easy to forget the rather grey and cold day that was endured on Saturday. Perhaps it'll stay with us for a few hours more at least?!

Mirror Northern Championships
The high winds of the first race led to several casualties, including various team Bass boats (or was it all?!). In fact the strength of it caused Rob Smith to have a change of mind and he opted to crew for twin brother Tim instead of sailing single handed. The OD (and the twins brother) reckoned if they had a spinnaker system that worked they would have done wonders - such is life! Rob's change of mind meant that Beanacrew, specially prepared for the weekend was left on the shore for (another) brother Andy to rescue (amidst various creaks and groans - was that Andy or the boat though?!) with the help of Scumper.
The wind did ease slightly for the other races, and there were no further casualties. Hector Cisneros with son Ben got in the groove and secured three firsts to have a comfortable overnight lead.
The OD was concerned at one stage that he couldn't find the black flag on the committee boat, but as it turned out, all apart from one boat were well behaved and stayed clear of the line. In 5 hours the OD successfully had all four races completed, and boats ashore.
The sailors are all having an early meal followed by a sumo wrestling competition - no peace for the wicked!
The winds for Sunday were forecast to be relatively light - and how right it was. It proved to be a totally different kettle of fish.
The promised wind was very light to non existent. The OD eventually tried to start racing which resulted in a series of postponements, general recalls, round the ends and a black flag - well worth finding! All these starts used up what little wind there was so that when the fleet finally got under way the wind died totally at which point the OD abandoned the race - or was it because Rob and Tim were last? You can't have a Smith in last place! The abandonment brought cheers from the fleet that could be heard from the shore.
If it was possible, the wind died further with the lake becoming a mill pond. The OD gave up and abandoned the racing leaving the results as they stood from overnight. This scuppered Mik and Toddy's cunning plan of getting everyone to pack up, whilst they waited for the sea breeze to come and get two good results.
At the prize giving, winning helm Hector Cisneros thanked the club for its hospitality, and the OD for some challenging courses, as well as abandoning the one race of the day that finally got under way. Also, he told the youths not to be dis-heartened by their performances on Saturday as it had been one of the most challenging days sailing that he'd had in years.

While the Cat's Away
Well, with the Mirror (er, Bass) Forum down I will have to moan on the website. It's not good enough. There I am taking a well earned break from Bass at the Brit GP when, suddenly, all these Mirrors go out. There's Twin (soccer's stopped), Des (with B&Q sponsorship), Stato (thought he'd retired), and even Toddy (complete with video of his Ripon exploits). And now I'm getting s------ in two series. Still, at least we had a Finnish (and Ferrari) win in the GP!
Mik.
Sunny Sunday
What a difference a day makes. The sun shone all day, the wind blew enough most of the time, and there were shifts that made all the difference (if you were on the right side of them!).
First of all an apology to Toggle - there may have been a one sided tale told about his efforts in the Lord Birkett, and the bit about the training was a joke - there aren't actually any places available until next year, but Tog doesn't really need to attend. Apparently, he was caught out in the massive squall that brought the fleet back from the islands, fell, or was washed out of the back, and broke his tiller necessitating his tow back by the gin palace.
In the GPs Hugh and Rhonwen had two wins, but they had to work hard for it as Mike Fairlamb with Sam Hall kept taking the lead, though in the 2nd race Mike retired after rounding a mark incorrectly. Ginge and Bridget were making hay while the sun shone, and then cooled off with a capsize. Ken Bell clearly wasn't making hay, came for a sail and finished second with Val.
Tim Smith beat off competition from twin brother Rob, and secured another couple of wins.
In the handicap fleet, there were ups and downs. William, with second crew of the weekend Sally, was several minutes late for the start, but had some good luck with the winds to pull back on Roy and Kirstie to such an extent that he had to avoid Roy when he capsized just in front of him on a gybe mark. Apparently, a 50 degree wind shift on the start line prevented Shunty and Neil from being able to cross the line. Confusion over the course (which may well have changed after it was first displayed) meant Shunty lost out several hundred metres by heading to 9 instead of 0. Although Neil and Judith won on the water, the wind suited the RS200s best of all, and honours went to Andy and Emma.
Roy was left behind for the start of the second race (apparently retying his battens), leaving William, Neil and Shunty to have some good racing. Although William mastered the beats (or was it make the most of some incredible shifts?) to take the lead a couple of times, he lost out off wind to Neil and Shunty. The wind faded somewhat towards the end of the race allowing the RS200s to catch up. Robbie D and Ethan would have easily won had they not got their gennaker stuck, so it was to be Andy and Emma that again won on handicap.
The Mirror Northerns are to be held at the club next weekend

Single Handed
 |
Well Toggle's found another way of demonstrating how to use a boat single handed - trust him to be different, most of us stay in the boat! At today's Lord Birkett 2007 Toggle needed a tow in. |
With the Lord Birkett Trophy being sailed at Ullswater, numbers were slightly down at the club today. The rain held off, but the wind made up for it! The blustery gusts caught out a few including William (with a rather nervous Cristina), Lewis, Mike F, Rory & Toddy.
The first race was a pursuit, and as last week, the finish was fairly close. Shunty, sailing with Cecile, took pole position with Hugh and Rhonwen second. Mike Moore and Mark finished a disgruntled third having been 'delayed' by some of TT Fairlamb's (Mike Moore's nickname for him) antics!
Having had a few gulps of lake water, Cristina was even more cautious about trying the second race! However, she did go out, start and retired at the end of the windward leg (all in 15 mins according to the webcam). There was some good racing, but less eventful with wins going to Shunty, Hugh, and Tim Smith
As for the gossip, apparently height matters. When Shunty was coming ashore he had stepped out the boat expecting the water to be up to his knees, but it was more like waist deep. A comment that it would have been knee deep on anyone else, started the banter about him being the shortest (adult) helm - but Mike F piped up obviously vying for the trophy. I can't remember the third person to get involved in this discussion, but fortunately the proposed line-up to verify the shorty didn't happen.

Here's some links for videos from last week's training at Ripon. Starting Starting 2 Starting 3 Windward mark
Die Hard
...Old habits that is! Roy was glad to be back at the helm again with Kirsty crewing. It's a shame he wasn't au fait with the start times of the pursuit race as he, and several other RS400s, seemed to be oblivious to the fact that they should be starting, which made William and Jonathan very nervous as to whether they had in fact started too early! Over the course of the 70 min pursuit, it was the final 5 mins where several places changed - must have been some good handicapping!
As for the second race, Roy was again someway behind the rest of the fleet at the start and he topped it off with a capsize on the gybe mark, and finally tried to run Kirsty over when coming ashore (she'd managed to keep her hair dry until then!)

Of course the main sailing of the weekend is the Martin 16 National Championships, being sailed at Bass for the first time. Commodore Steve Hunt, as OD for the weekend, managed to get in the first 4 races of the 8 race championship. Clearly there is some close competition between the leading boats. The morning races were held in very windy conditions, and one hardy sole raised their spinnaker, but quickly dropped it again. Fortunately the design of the boat is such that the risk of capsize is minimal (I think!) Sunday morning started with what seemed like a nice southerly, but it never quite had the oomphh(?) that the sailors would have appreciated. The Martins continued to have some very close racing, and with just one discard tensions were high leading to a protest!

The delay caused by the Martin 16's protest proved to be quite fortuitous as there was not a lot of wind, so after the prize giving the boats took to the water for the Jimmy Lancaster Memorial pennant as the breeze seemed to have filled in from the SW. By the time the race started the wind had faded, and a course set for marks 12 and 13 proved too much for William (though Cristina thought she'd missed the opportunity of a trip around the lake!) and he headed straight for shore. Most of the others persevered, but it was to be another 25 mins before the brezze came back, but this time from the South. With a bit of forward thinking, Shunty had included 10 in the course, and that was to be where he shortened the course after 45 mins.
When the fleet handicaps were calculated, it was Hugh and Rhonwen that proved to be the overall winners.

How Much Fun for £1.70?
Heard the story about the bus journey from Whitehaven to Cockermouth that took 3½ hours? No, it wasn't due to an in efficient bus service, a mechanical breakdown, heavy traffic, or weather conditions. A certain (lone) passenger fell asleep, and missed her stop, and woke up somewhere near Wigton. When she realised her predicament, she admitted to rolling in the aisles laughing (her words!) and having to tell herself to stop [laughing], but these fits of laughter kept coming back as her journey continued to the terminus at Carlisle and back to where she was first heading. As demanded by her friend, she eventually sent a text to say she was safely back home. Of course, by the time she arrived at work on Monday the whole office knew about the trip - so why shouldn't you? Thanks to our very own Cecile for sharing this with us (and the rest of the club!)

Well actually yes! Congratulations to Sam Hall for

Speechless
Unfortunately those of you that enjoy voicing their opinions on the forum are stumped for the time being! The servers that we use have not been accessible for some days, and there are no clues as to when (or if) the issues will be resolved.
She's Left Me!

Congratulations to Lesley following her marriage to Andrew yesterday. Hopefully we'll see her back at the front end of William's boat some time during Bass Week |
Short Series
Drizzle and no wind led to OD Alan Smith abandoning racing on Sunday bringing the weekend series to an early conclusion.
Mark Somerville won another handicap series, Scott Beattie and John Somerville had their first sail in many months (or is it this season?) and won both races from Mike Moore. Mike Fairlamb kept the senior moments at bay to win the series from Hugh Godfrey.
Following some synchronised sailing when Mik and Toddy capsized simultaneously, and then both went turtle, Toddy went on to win the race, and his first series - Well done!!

Thank You!
Mr Commodore
Writing to thank you, Elaine, the council and the rest of the club for agreeing to our wedding reception being held at the club.
We had an absolutely fantastic day, one to remember for sure! We hope that everyone who came had a great time. The weather was kind to us which meant the club provided a beautiful setting which many of our friends and family thought good enough to consider moving up here!
Many thanks also to all the club members for their lovely gifts and for sharing our day.
Hope that the event proved financially profitable; judging by the photos of the evening that we've seen it is a wonder if there was anything left behind the bar at the end of the night.
On the subject of the bar, thanks too to Sonja and Richard, and everyone else who helped out in keeping guests' thirsts at bay.
Many thanks once again,
Andy & Em xx
GP Open
Following the excess wind and rain leading up to the weekend, all the sailors had to contend with was sunshine and showers. The winds were light, and racing on Sunday was delayed waiting for the wind to fill in. Attempts to sail the final race were abandoned. Neil Platt from Bolton & West Kirby, with our own Sally Roberts, had equal points with Martin Brennan from Hollingworth, but won the series on the last race tie break.

What a Disaster!
....or so it would seem as there seemed to be so many people whinging after the morning race. First there was the OD arriving early to see a lake with very little wind and wanting to abandon at 11am, but he was assured by William that the wind would have filled in by 11.30, and it did! As Hugh must have had a late night, and was not at the club at the due time, Rhonwen offered to be OD for the morning allowing Stu and Debbie Spence to free themselves of the worries of course setting and go racing. When Hugh did turn up, he was seconded into driving the Bates. Roy Blackburn, not having had his crew snatched from under him for a second time, was out in plenty of time for his first race in a month only to be late for the start! Shunty had secured the lead and managed to go around the leeward mark the wrong way only to be told part way up the beat. However, he had a very peculiar way of unwinding to correct his mistake, and no-one's really sure if he managed it, but Steve was too dizzy to remember! Mike Moore was keeping up with the leading RS400s well until the final run when the wind managed to evade him and took away his chances of winning. Amanda Bainbridge was a bit confussled with the extra sausage in the course and was somewhat relieved when she finally heard her finish gun. To counter this, it was good for Dave Wright and son Connor to finish their first ever race. The OD was somewhat surprised at the the amounting of whooping and air punching that was going on - what will happen when they win their first race?! Lewis Tyson, always open for a challenge opted to sail with William in an RS400 rather than in his Topper, and enjoyed it so much he wanted more in the afternoon.
The afternoon breeze was slightly fresher than the morning, and even resulted in the odd capsize. In fact Sam missed his toe straps before the start and was first to go in, whether this was the cause of Dave and Connor capsizing as well we're not sure, but they were very close together at the time. As for the start, there must have been too many people in the committee boat, as everyone was convinced they had the perfect start only to be brought back with a general recall! After another general recall, stand in OD cleared the boat, focussed on the job in hand, and got everyone away - third time lucky! Although Shunty got clear away this time, with no mishaps, and won the race, other boats had mixed fortunes, and the results were spread across the various fleets.
Lewis was enjoying the RS400 again, but found the gusting reaches challenging and realised that tugging sheets soon rip through bare hands - hopefully William won't be held up for child abuse! At one stage Robbie D thought Scumper had put in an enthusiastic tack and almost filled up, so he was encouraging him to go a bit further over - then he realised it was William and Lewis, but he was still willing them to capsize!
Congratulations to Sam Hall in achieving 1st U14 and 3rd overall at a Junior NW Travellers open meeting held at Ullswater YC on 9th June. Joe Watkins was 3rd U14.
As for Saturday, the wait was worth it...
After an intermittent breeze at the start of the afternoon, it eventually filled in from the north to get sailing underway. William, with Kirsty Somerville, was a little premature(?!) and returned through the line trying miserably to avoid the oncoming fleet! No major collisions, but he did a couple of turns for good measure. Perhaps it was payback for pinching Roy's crew who had to stand in and man the Bates.
William did get on the tail of Neil and Judith by the windward mark, but Neil was to disappear off wind never to be caught, leaving William to tussle with Paul Burnell.
Although a dark cloud appeared (it probably brought the wind!) the sun shone all afternoon and led to some glorious sailing conditions.
In the second race, Mark Somerville brought out a super light crew - Ethan! Although they could catch Neil, they pulled ahead of William who struggled to break free from Mike and Mark in the F15. Although William eventually made headway, it wasn't enough to beat Mike on handicap. Neil leads the new series
In the GPs Hugh and Rhonwen stayed ahead of Dave and Sarah Nicholson to take an early lead in the Autumn Cup
The results for Thursday's Night Jar have been calculated and displayed below. As ever, the results seem to cause controversy. All we can do is blame the computer, the OD and anyone other than the helms (well, so it seems!)

there was a mass of sail washing required as the fleet returned to shore
