The 58th prize giving and dinner dance was held
at Hundith Hill, Cockermouth. It was attended by almost 100 members and
guests, many of whom disguised themselves (well attempted to) by wearing a
mask.
Bobbie Middleton gave the first speech recalling some of her 30 years as a
member at the club, and toasted the club, and the response was given by
Commodore Dave Nicholson. The prizes were awarded by Pauline Nicholson
including award of the Consistency Trophy which went to Toggle for
consistently trying to renegotiate the handicap for the Vareo fleet!
Championship winners
Flying Fifteen - Mike Moore, Martyn Stephenson and Sally
The sailing season came to a damp, abrupt halt
for the second year running. The floods last week resulted in no sailing for
the final weekend of the season.
Time to get down to the club, check out, and
remove your boat of you have not already done so.
Some pics of the devastation!

Weather window
For the second week in a row, the weather
changed in favour of some pleasant sailing. Although light, the day was dry
and tempted twelve boats on to the water for the morning race, but a couple
dropped out of the afternoon race. Wind was ultra flukey at 9 and Alan
Nicholson, Jim Christie and Jo Watkins in close company all had big moments
there on first lap. They didn't heed the warning and Alan crashed in on lap
2. Jim was just behind, got prepared for the shift, and was thrown in the
other way! He continued, but Alan was in the mud (again!) and needed rescue
to extract his Solo.
With another first in the bag due to beating
Mike Fairlamb and Eric Smith in their GP, and now having sufficient races to
qualify, Joan and Jack Hardie in an RS200 have taken the lead on the fleet
handicap series from Jim Christie in his Laser, who still leads the personal
handicap series. Tim Knowles in a GP won the afternoon race from Alan Waugh
in his Mirror.
Good to see Steve Hannah back on the Lake
after a good few years out - trying out a FF with Martyn Stephenson at the
helm.

What did you think?
Thank you for your feedback following Bass
Week. The responses have been collated and can be seen
here.
Congratulations go to Robert Lea on winning a
£25 voucher towards next year's Bass Week entry. Have you got the dates in
your diary?!
31 July - 8 August 2010
Just the weather!
After the wind and rain of recent weeks,
pleasantly, Sunday's forecast was for a dry and bright day, although not a
lot of wind.
However, 14 boats were tempted to the water,
and were able to enjoy some pleasant sailing conditions - not planing
conditions, but enough to keep the boats moving and the crews to sit to
windward! After lunch the breeze eased as the race went along.
The weather was so pleasant that Mark Ninnim,
with Rob Smith, broke a 20 year habit of not sailing in November to finish
3rd on fleet handicap, and 1st on personal handicap in the afternoon race.
It was Joan and Jack Hardie that mastered the
conditions to take two first on fleet handicap, beating Mike Moore and
Martyn Stephenson in the morning race, and Mike Fairlamb in the afternoon -
perhaps that could be called taking the Micks?!
Having sailed all four of the races to date,
Jim Christie remains in a strong position and leads the table
Congratulations
After a reluctance to appear (surely not stage
fright?!) baby Lily Alice Smith was
born early on 2 November - a sister to Katia and second daughter for Andy and
Emma.
All doing fine
Is that Andy's hairline she's sporting?! :) Sure
she'll grow out of it
The Eric Twiname Memorial Trust
Following a recent approach, the Sailing Club Council have proudly agreed
that in future years, one of the pennant races sailed each season will be
used as an opportunity to raise funds on behalf of the Eric Twiname Memorial
Trust. Many members may recall Eric, son of founder member Alec Twiname, was
once a member of the sailing club and is arguably our most famous member in
sailing circles. As a highly successful sailor,
Eric went on to write classic texts such as 'Start to Win' and 'The Rules
Book' which is now in its 9th version. The trust was created in 1980
following Eric's tragic death with the goal to continue his legacy to the
sailing community.
Start to Win has just been updated and republished (with a foreword by
Ben Ainslie, CBE) and can be purchase on-line directly from the publishers,
Adlard Coles or other on-line
retailers, such as Amazon.
Further information regarding the trust and about Eric himself can be
found by visiting the trust website at
www.erictwinametrust.org or by
viewing our web page.
Can you help?
Lesley Anderson (as we know her) daughter of founder member, and former
trustee, the late Bill Anderson recently called in at the club to catch up
with old(?!) friends. We have received the following email which is self
explanatory
I have started dinghy sailing again in Cyprus and and having more fun
sailing here than I have for years on bigger boats. It is great being back
close to the water, and it is warm here!
The club is called PISC (Pahpos International Sailing Club)
The club started dinghy sailing last year and now has an assorted fleet
of seven!
I seem to remember that my father was the seventh boat to join at Bass so
it takes me back a bit
I wish to help all I can to build the up the sailing at PISC and they are
having a problem finding a replacement for a GP14 main sail.
I was wondering if you could source a really cheap old main sail for us
and send it to Rod the commodore.
I will fund the cost of the sail and postage if you can help.
Best Wishes Lesley
If you can help please
email us and we will pass on the information
Would you believe it?
A wet and windy forecast but some hardy sailors
still turned up, though they were surprised to find any wind at all as Bass
seemed to be enjoying its own micro climate compared to nearby villages where
there was rain but no wind.
After some umming and arrhhing, three helms
decided to sail - Jim Christie, Peter Ballard and Neil Garrison. Then as the
wind increased, Neil Garrison changed his mind. While watching the boats get
ready the wind quickly eased and Neil opted to sail. Although he was on the
water by the 3 minute signal, it took him over ten mins to cross the start line
between the race office and zero! The wind eased, and swung, and by the third
and final leg back to zero boats were beating. The November series is sailed on
a fleet and personal handicap basis, but the distances between each boat meant
the results were the same as the finishing order.
After a short lunch break, the terrible trio were
eager for more. Again within minutes of launching the weather started to change
as the wind started to fill in from the West.
As there was a shore based start, the boats
started on a broad reach with a gybe at the first mark, at which point Jim and
Peter each capsized! They righted and continued but as they reached the leeward
mark the gusty conditions caught all three boats out and they capsized. OD
Toggle was all for abandoning racing, but opted to allow the race to be
shortened at the end of the first lap - Jim and Peter made it to the finish.
Toggle did double check with the rescue boat whether Neil had retired although
it was a little obvious by the fact that he was being towed, had taken his main
down, and in the process of dropping his jib!
The handicap results matched the finishing order,
so Jim leads with two firsts.

Have a lie in!
The end of
the October coincides with the end of the championship season. The weather
forecast brought things to an early conclusion due to force nine gales on
Saturday. John Crosbie launched his laser, enjoyed some spectacular planes,
intermingled with capsizes, but racing was abandoned for the day.
Saturday
night marked the end of British Summer Time so the recommendation was to make
the most of the extra hour in bed due to the clocks going back, especially as
Sunday's forecast is for MORE for the same!
However, the
wind was not as strong as forecast, and sailing did take place, but the gusts
were vicious enough to stress boats to the limit. In
the first race, the final round of the Handicap Fleet’s Skiddaw Trophy, both the
Supernova of Peter Ballard and the Jim Christie’s Laser suffered rigging damage
leaving Scumper to take an easy victory in his Laser.
The afternoon
race was the Bassenthwaite Burgee, the final pennant race of the season. It
was supposed to be sailed around the Lake but the race officer wisely decided to
restrict it to the marginally more sheltered northern area. John
Crosbie belatedly decided to compete and took the victory from Mike Turner/Sue
Watson. This result won Sue the
Sandra’s Salver award as best lady crew in the seven pennant races held during
the season by just a single point from Elaine Hunt.
FF Open
Saturday's forecast was not great
for wind, if the webcam had been working you would have noticed that the
forecast was correct!! The lake was mirror like most of the afternoon. Racing was postponed until 1030hrs
on Sunday. It was due to be a lot more overcast, but there with a reasonable
breeze.
Sunday's earlier than usual start enabled the
F15 fleet to get their first race in before club racing started at 1130hrs.
As forecast, the day was overcast but there was a SW breeze. Although the OD
assures us there was a beat in the first race, using the same beat for the
second race failed miserably!
The lack of a beat for club racing kept the
fleets together (handicap wise) and it depended where you were, at what
stage, as to whether you were in a position to take advantage of the various
gusts that came through, and strengthened as the race went on.
After two races, and despite mixed fortunes,
Mike Moore and Sally were in the lead in the FF open at the lunch break
during which drizzle moved in. Would that kill the wind? Well, effectively
it did! The afternoon racing was held in light airs, with a quite a mix of
the leading lights such that only 4 points split the top half of the fleet.
It was Andy and Rob Smith that came out on top, beating Mike Moore by a
point. Andy's team mate for the series was Ian and Pat Priestly from
Ullswater, who by securing third overall ensured that they won the team
racing part of the event.
Robbie D and Big E secured a good lead in both
races added two wins to his collection in the series. His closest rival is
son Ethan with 34 pts

Club founder member Richard Atkinson has died at
the age of 88. Until about 10 years ago he was a regular sailor in a F15
with Judge Leech. Richard was one of the clubs more successful sailors
having become GP14 National champion in 1957, just five years after the Club
was formed
Raring to Go!
Last weekend saw the final championship weekend
series of the season. Gales had been forecast but did not materialise and
there was good sailing weather on both days.
On Saturday in the handicap fleet, Robbie D and
Big E in their RS400 got off to a good start with one first and one second
place. Scumper held second spot overnight in his RS400 before changing to a
Laser for the Sunday racing! Alan Nicholson was just one point behind in his
Solo after winning the second race.
Sunday’s morning race saw another win for Robbie
Dawson with Joan & Jack Hardie second in their RS200 and Scumper third. The
wind was gustier for the final race and this suited different competitors.
Two helms from Dean took the lead positions with Sam Hall in his Laser
leading home the F15 of Tim Chittenden with Ian Macpherson crewing. Winners
of the series and the Comet Trophy were Robbie D with Scumper second and Tim
Chittenden third.
The GP14 class sailing for the Stables Prize was
won by Mike Turner and Sue Watson from Dave and Lynn Lawson. Although
both helms had two wins each and equal points overall the Trophy went to the
winners of the last race. An identical situation applied to third place with
Kath Davis/Glenys Kett leading home Tim Knowles/Martin Statter.
The Mirror’s Single Handed Trophy went to Mik
Chappell. Alan Waugh finished second overall in his pristine boat now fully
repaired after scrapes earlier in the season. His win in the final race
narrowly secured the place from Nick Orton despite the latter posting two
second places during the series.

Youth Squad Prize Giving
This year's prize giving for the Youth Squad events will be held on Saturday
7 November at 6.30(ish), prior to lighting the bonfire
Clear Winner
Sam Hall travelled to West Lancs S C on
Saturday for the final event in the North West Junior Travellers Series.
Due to the gale force conditions the event was cancelled. However, Sam
had already gained enough points to win the Travellers Series.
He collected his trophy, for the second year running, plus other
prizes.
What a difference a day
makes!
A bit of wind (well a lot!) topped up with
rain was enough to put off all helms other than Jim Christie on Saturday.
However, stand in OD Robbie D made an early call to cancel racing for the
day.
Sunday has started with a glorious morning,
and the wind started to fill in, with the hope that it would continue to do
so up to the forecast 10mph
The wind did fill in a little more, but
unexpectedly it came from the NW, so the start line was adjusted and the
course set. However, as the race went on the wind swung more to the south
resulting in more of a fetch expecially for the asymmetric fleet which were
sailing a windward leeward course! Rory Yardley in his Vareo took best
advantage of the conditions to win the morning race from Jack and Joan
Hardie in their RS200 by a couple of secs/lap. Mike Moore and Ian Macpherson
in a F15 beat Tim Knowles and Martin Statter in a GP by a good margin to win
the MJM morning race.
The only tales to tell were during the
afternoon race. First of all Roy Blackburn's had a slight problem with his
new acquisition of a Vareo when the main sail came down. Secondly, Alan
Nicholson had a prolonged capsize after getting his mast in the mud. Results
were again close in the afternoon but this time Robbie D and Big E in an
RS400 beat Rory in his Vareo and won the Asymmetric Cup. Mike Moore again
beat Tim Knowles but by just 4 secs/lap and secured the MJM Trophy.
The big question is whether the Times and Star
story about Ken and Val winning the Tinker Trophy will stick - should we now
know them as the Tinker Bells?!

26/27 Sept
Saturday's forecast light westerly breeze came in on cue, together with
some afternoon sunshine resulting in a pleasant afternoon's sailing. The
gusts that came through were patchy and Robbie D and Big E kept being caught
up by William and Ruth, but it was the GPs that benefited from the
conditions and Val and Ken Bell continued their form from last weekend to
take two firsts in the Tinker Trophy (not that there was a Tinker in sight
as they, of course, were here last weekend!). The results were close though,
as there was just 8 secs separating 5 boats in the first race.
The was supposed to be similar today, but it freshened from time to time.
This time Robbie D broke away and won with over one minute lead per lap from
Val. Her 2nd place was enough to ensure no-one could beat her overall in the
4th and final race of the series.
The wind was similar for the final race and Robbie D again mastered the
conditions to win by a min/lap but this time it was from Scumper in his
Laser, with Val 3rd. Overall a good turnout of 22 boats over the course of
the weekend series. Hopefully this won't change and put Val off her dancing
this week!!

Unfortunately there was an error when
calculating the club weekend results - they should have been calculated on a
personal handicap basis!
Apologies to Val and Ken as they have been
knocked off pole position in favour of last week's winners Julian and Robert
Cruickshank. Congratulations and well done

Busy Weekend
This weekend we hosted as
RS200 alongside a Tinker Travellers open, as well as a fleet
challenge for club members.
On Saturday the wind was light,
and initially did not come from the forecast SW direction.
Drizzle came in unexpectedly, but passed through
The wind did freshen slightly from
the forecast direction, but would it hold for the rest of the
afternoon? Although it eased for a while, fortunately it did
pick up again just before the start of the final race which
seemed as it was going to be dire because the rain had started
to fall. Val Bell took a clean sweep of all three races before
rushing off to a 90th birthday party!
Some early morning mist on Sunday
should have been a hint of things to come - no wind! However, it
did fill in late morning, then eased, but came back and settled
down. However, the sun shone, and it turned out to be an
excellent day's racing.
Julian and Robert Cruickshank had a
good start in the 5th race and managed to fend off Val and Ken
Bell despite only flying their spinnaker on one leg, but it
won't stop Val taking the trophy.
Val must have burnt Ken out as she
sailed the final race in her Solo. Honours in the final race
went to Alan Nicholson with Val 2nd
In the RS200s
the delayed start due to lack of wind meant there would only be
7 races sailed out of the 8 scheduled.
Chris Pickles and Laura Westell from Delph sailed consistently
to have a clear win with 6 points (five races to count). Phil
and Naomi Smith were top Bass boat finishing 7th overall.

Let Us Know Your
Thoughts
With over a month since Bass Week came
to an end you should have had time to recover by now!
We have sent out emails to most
entrants that gave us their details so they can give us some
feedback.
If you were there could you spare 5
minutes to complete the online questionnaire so that we can take
views into account when preparing for next year's regatta. As a bit
of encouragement, there will be a £25 Bass Week voucher for the
25th, 50th and 75th completed form received. However, you are
welcome to submit the form anonymously if you so wish. For being quick off the mark,
Rich Critchley will get a free cocktail for sending the first form.
(Sorry Judith - beaten this year!)
Many thanks for being part of this
year's event, and we hope you enjoyed it enough to tell your friends
and come back next year! If you didn't enjoy it, then please tell
us!
Very best wishes for the rest of the
sailing season.
Herb
is celebrating his 78th birthday on Thursday and seems proud for
everyone to know. As official starter he'll be down again at the weekend
braving the elements (and in his element of course!). Congratulations!
This weekend there willbe a multitude of visitors - RS200s and the
Tinker Association. There will be club racing too although it may be
quieter than usual as the Southport 24 hour race is being held too
Vareo Nationals
Rory and Toggle have been trying their skills in
the Nationals last week at Southampton and they finished in the top half of
the fleet with a 16th and 17th respectively in a fleet of 38 boats. If only
Tog had kept his head on when leading he would have remembered to pass
through the start/finish line and not been disqualified!! Bet he's pulling
his hair out.! Oh just remembered, he ain't got any to pull :(
Sunday
The forecast was for a north easterly and that's
what came through, and it freshened as the morning went on. There were
comments that the wind was shifty, and that seemed to help keep the racing
tight, but it was all to the good and everyone enjoyed the sail. A couple of
boats from the youth squad capsized, but quickly righted themselves.
The afternoon race was the Banana Stakes,
typically sailed around the lake. Due to the lighter winds the course just
went as far as mark 10, but the NE winds resulted in a lack of a beat and
the fleets kept close together. In addition, it was held on a personal
handicap basis. Although Neil Garrison sailed well away in his Dart, it was
to be Julian and Robert Cruikshank that took the honours. Robbie D tried his
hand in Ethan's Topper (with a full rig though) and he was well and truly
stuffed!
The race counted towards Sandra's Salver, and it
seems that both the main contenders for this year's award are suffering from
back problems! Having survived yesterday's sail without too much extra pain,
Elaine made a special effort to sail the race as she has been lying low from
sailing for a couple of months due to back pain. Her main contender, Sue
Watson unfortunately hurt her back on Sunday morning before going out with
Mike Turner. She was all dressed for sailing but unable to get on the water.
So it will be down to the wire - one more pennant to race and all to sail
for if they can make it!

Taking the Mick?!
On Saturday it was a glorious afternoon. The
high pressure system removed the clouds, but took the wind too :(
There was a gentle breeze to push the fleet
around, but it was much less that we've been used to all season
OD Mike Moore may have been a little flustered
after his drive up to the club as he was held up in traffic queues for 45
mins. Is that any reason to set a course that had everyone's head (well
boat) spinning? Or was it colour blindness? Perhaps it may just be a little
dementia now that he's hit that magic time of life?! Out of the six marks in
the course, four marks were set to be looped rather than just rounded. As
the race was a pursuit, it was unfortunate that the error was noticed after
the first boat was well up the first reach - yes reach, as the wind was
split and coming from two directions to make life interesting, or should
that be challenging? The looping of the marks caught out Andy Smith and Joe
Roberts, both sailing their Moths, and they were disqualified. Despite being
over the line and rerounding, Steve and Ruth worked their way to the front
of the fleet to win the race. William and Elaine were neck and neck with Mik
on the finish line but could not quite get past him. However, their third
position was sufficient to secure the series.
In the second race, part of a long
championship series, the shore created shadows across the course from time
to time, but Robbie D and Becky held a strong enough lead to win on
handicap. Alan Nicholson did well to finish second and beat Steve by just
17secs. The series continues in the morning.

Or should it be nein, nein, nein? Perhaps that
could be read as 999, or should it be 09/09/09? If so it's a day for saying
yes, yes, yes especially in Sarah Nicholson's case as she chose this special
day to get married on.
Many congratulations!!
Sarah and husband Martin Wilkinson seen here following their wedding
in Venice.
The happy couple, who are now on their honeymoon in Sicily, would
like to thank everyone for their good wishes, cards and gifts and look
forward to thanking everyone in person on their return.
RNLI Flower Quiz
Quite a lot of people returned their RNLI quiz
papers which were being sold during Bass Week and everyone had done really
well. There were quite a few who tied with 95/100. Our own sailing club
member Carol Thomas had 97 but the winner, with a total of 98, was Mrs J
Kelly of Ennerdale Avenue Workington. She will receive £25.
The lake level was high yet again, clearly
there had bee a substantial amount of rain through the week - perhaps why it
stayed relatively dry over the weekend?!
Another weekend series was held this weekend
and concluded in a breeze that seemed to increase as the day went along.
Although there were only 8 takers in the last race, at one stage four of the
boats were capsized! Mik Chappell saw what the wind was doing and opted to
take down his sails before he became a statistic for the afternoon. With the
series already won by the last race, Robbie D and Scumper did not race,
which left Toggle with the chance to better his overall position. He secured
a vital first, giving him third overall and moving him up the championship
one place to fourth.
Zefer was getting to grips with his new
acquisition, a Moth, and as with Andy Smith, the capsize technique was being
well rehearsed! Apparently, making use of his spare afternoon, Scumper had a
go too, but reckons he didn't tip it in quite as often (but then he has had
a lot of practice over the years!)

Monday - The wind strengthened and the rain
lingered on. Apathy and a postponement meant there was not a lot happening!
It seemed unlikely that there would be any sailing but who knows?!
After a while the rain cleared a little and the
water seemed a little more inviting, but it wasn't long before the racing
was cancelled for the day, so it was time for tents to be dropped, and
thrown in the back of cars before heading home.
Perhaps a few were keeping their heads down the
morning after the night before. As part of the quiz night there were extra
points available for performing various challenges, one of which is seen
below where a team member had to strut their stuff (not their member as the
pics may suggest!) in a bin bag fashion show. There is one face that you'll
recognise, but the remainder of the contestants were from the visiting
Southport contingent
Quiz night at the club - Oh so many questions!
Was everyone putting their hands up to answer a question, or were
they singing?!
Was Dave propping himself up or just having a friendly feel of a knee
- well it was Pauline's knee!
The
concentration juice was working well at this stage at least! This was
one of the challenges which formed part of the quiz night
Was Zefer really showing how the tower could be built from the bottom
up? Or was he just in need of more concentration juice?
Thank You
To all at
Bassenthwaite Sailing
Club
I
would like to thank you on behalf of the charity, Sail 4 Cancer, for your
brilliant support during Bass Week. I have returned from holiday to read
that the Trident Ladies held a raffle during your regatta to launch their
North East Sailing Charity Ball 2010 and that you managed to raise a
wonderful £406.45. We are very grateful for your generosity.
As you may be aware,
these funds will be used to help to offer respite to people living with
cancer and your support really does make a difference to their lives; here
are comments from two of the many families we have been able to help
recently:
“I would just like to say a big thank you for such a
great break away from the stress and strains of the past two years. I really
can't explain how much it has helped us out and given us a new positive
attitude towards life. Thank you for all your hard work in helping families
like ours in difficult situations.” Craig.
“We would like to say a
massive thank you to all at Sail 4 Cancer, for giving us the holiday of a
lifetime. It enabled me to gain my confidence back and once again try new
things. And for all three of us it gave us the opportunity to laugh again,
which as you can imagine has been sadly lacking in our lives. I can honestly
say we really didn’t stop smiling the whole week... We are all eternally
grateful as you have given us the ability to laugh again, which is a
wonderful gift .” Amanda.
Thank you again for your much appreciated support
Kind regards

Not a lot of people know that!
BASSENTHWAITE Lake isn’t a lake at all. Its a railway station.
The railway engineers had the option of serving Bassenthwaite by
going north of Broadwater, with a station near the village, or south
of it, with a station near the lake, at Dubwath.
The railway called that station “Bassenthwaite Lake Station”, to
distinguish it from the proposed “Bassenthwaite Village Station” –
but the arriving tourists thought that was the name of the lake.
Eventually, Ordnance Survey gave up trying to keep the proper
name and so Broadwater now appears on maps as “Bassenthwaite Lake”.
Although Derwentwater has long been known as “Keswick Lake” in
West Cumberland, the Ordnance Survey has so far managed to keep its
resolve and stick with the proper name.
The railway caused the opposite at Windermere. When it reached
the small town of Birthwaite, it decided to call the station there
“Windermere” as the Lake District connection would bring more
traffic than Birthwaite the town ever could.
So the visitors arriving by train thought the town was called
“Windermere” because that’s what the town’s station was called.
Thanks to Andy Smith for this piece of info!
Weekend Update
Last weekend started with the fifth round of the
Celebrity Glass Pursuit Series where the boats with the slowest handicap
start first and the remainder at designated intervals behind them. The race
was scheduled to be seventy minutes in length and, after an hour, the Mirror
of Mik Chappell which had been first away still led. He had high hopes of
winning the event but it was not to be as the Laser of Jim Christie swept
past just before the allotted time to be declared winner. The Byte of Joe
Watkins would also have passed the Mirror but a bad rounding of the final
mark left him a few lengths adrift and in third place.
Two long series races followed and it was,
again, Jim Christie who was dominant moving into the lead in the Handicap
fleet’s Skiddaw Trophy series. Eric Smith sailing with Ruth Critchley in a
GP14 were second in race one but did not contest the second round allowing
Dave Lawson sailing a borrowed Solo to move into a series second place. The
Mirrors only sailed one race and Dave Todhunter took the lead in the Bates
series after winning an extremely close contest with Mik Chappell. The race
officer reckoned that it was only seeing the bow of Dave’s bright red boat
ahead of the black one of his opponent that allowed him to be certain of the
finishing order!
The final race of the weekend was the Jubilee
Sailing Trust Pennant which was won by Dave Lawson from Joe Watkins. The
award for the first lady crew went to Sue Watson allowing her to move into a
joint lead with Elaine Hunt for the Sandra’s Salver trophy.
The popular Thursday evening Night Jar series
has restarted restoring the mid week after-race meal and social atmosphere.
It is called, innovatively Night Jar B! Victory in this initial round went
to Mike Turner with Sue Watson crewing after the Laser 2000 of Steve Peck /
Simon Smith and the Enterprise of Carl Arthur / Neil Garrison retired when
well placed.

Extended Holiday?
Not certain whether it is the weather or just
recovery mode after Bass Week, but there was a general lack of enthusiasm
for racing on Sunday. Two asymmetrics were prepared to race. Hugh went out
and, while waiting for Steve and Ruth to finish getting ready, he was
enjoying a good plane only to capsize! When righted his mast deck support
had broken away leaving his boat out of action. Meanwhile Steve finally got
on the water and washed off some of the sea salt and sand from his trip to
Abersoch - not by capsizing though!
Neil Garrison took a novice crew out in his
wayfarer - quite a day to be introduced to our sport!
What a Weekend!
A glorious day's sailing was on the cards for
Saturday. Sunshine and a reasonable breeze was not enough to tempt too many
sailors down this weekend. Were they preparing themselves for Bass Week?
Perhaps they had heard the forecast for Sunday and decided not to bother!
The first race was marred when the anticipated
position of mark 9 was to the left of the leg from 0 to 8 which meant that
boats had to loop around it to comply with the rules. After much
consideration it was realised that those which did not directly loop around
it had completed the course but sailed only one lap instead of the two which
others had sailed. As the handicap fleet use average lap times this was not
a problem. The two GPs had not looped the mark, but as they had sailed the
same course, the fairest solution was to allow the finishing position to
stand. The Mirrors had spotted what was going on, and all looped the mark!
The second race took the fleet under the shade
of Sale Fell (just for a change) and this allowed positions to be skewed
somewhat. Neil and Judith Currie took advantage of the conditions to secure
a big lead and win on handicap.
Some consistent sailing by Mik Chappell gave him
two firsts, with Alan Waugh finishing 2nd
Sunday's forecast was horrendous, but a lot of
the rain had passed through early morning so at least it was dry! The wind
was from the south, and there were strong gusts going through the narrows at
Scarness but the wind elsewhere was slightly sheltered by Sale Fell
(again!). There was a good reach in strong winds from 8 to 5 but the wind
didn't particularly carry on down the broad reach to 1. Neil Garrison and
Peter Ballard in a Dart got a good lead from William and Lesley Drummond
(what a day to come out of retirement!) who (fortunately) were unable to fly
the gennaker due to a rigging error on William's part! But William won the
race on handicap.
The wind swung in the afternoon to the south
west. The gusts passing over Sale Fell gave some challenging gusts and
shifts to be managed and once the fleet started the broad reach from 9 to 3
there was no longer any shade from the fell! William and Lesley were the
first casualty as the gust picked up and the boat nose dived before the
inevitable capsize. The squall passing through took all the fleet out at
some stage and there were only two finishers - Neil Garrison and Jim
Christie in his laser.
Alan Nicholson probably felt quite fortunate to
be OD as it meant he didn't have to sail, but with two 2nds from Saturday,
and a 3rd for being OD, he finished up in pole position in the handicap
fleet and winning the Grizedale Cup
Although Saturday's positions were reversed in
the morning race for the Mirrors, Mik's two firsts were enough to win him
the Round Table Tankard

Thursday
A bit of a quiet evening by all accounts - the
breezy forecast presumably put a few competitors off sailing in the
crews/ladies/junior/seniors race which mark the last sailing Thursday before Bass
Week. Looking at the timings, Val Bell had a magnificent race in her Solo as
the others took 50% longer on corrected time
Clearly the results didn't tell the full story
which has been padded out by Mik.
Well Ladies', Crews, etc evening was wild &
wolly (try wooly!) again with low number of finishers reflecting dngo (Did
not go out), dns, dnf galore. Tim Knowles set an interesting course 0 - 1 -
B - YZ with YZ crossed in both directions but it worked ok. 99 laps - felt
like it! Alan Nic had a mega capsize before start being brought in by Scott
- Andy & Scumper rescuing Solo. Val actually fell out of other Solo. Lynne
chickened out before start and Dave lapped everyone 10(?) times - thought he
had better not cross finish line as he would be classed as a lady - was not
eligible for anything else. John Crosbie had super start but capsized on
first beat & Jack H came in looking like a drowned rat - Joan looked
sheepish! Nic was helming Ken's boat but don't know why they didn't get a
Seniors finish. Susie got into a death roll and handed over to Mike T in the
middle of it so they qualified for everything (well almost) and nothing. I
hit final mark of race trying to avoid Val and the 360 seemed to take an age
(thought I'd better do as Peanuts might have seen it). All finished off with
a chinky from galley.

Sun Day!
What another wonderful day for sailing. The
vicious gusts from Saturday had faded leaving a good, relatively steady
breeze, but with some shifts to take advantage of, and the sun was shining!
In the Asymmetric Cup Phil and Naomi again
sailed well to win the morning race from Rory Yardley, by just 7 secs/lap.
Phil did not sail the afternoon race as he wanted a capsize practice in the
Moth, but the RS200s still took pole position when Joan and Jack Hardie
pushed Rory into 2nd place again.
In the MJM Trophy, there was some close racing
but Mike Fairlamb and Eric Smith got a clear lead on handicap. As for the
remainder of the fleet there was only 1 sec/lap separating three boats. Mike
Moore and Martyn Stephenson had some close racing with Ian Macpherson and
William Carruthers (in a F15!). Although Ian had the lead at the final mark,
Mike was close enough to tack first and beat Ian to the line (Skill I
believe Mike called it!). In the afternoon, Mike again had some close racing
but this time William had taken the helm. Despite Mike luffing head to wind
to gain advantage at the end of the first beat, William and Ian broke away
and secured a strong lead. Mike nibbled away at the lead on a couple of
beats and was on William's tail (Mike happy) at the final windward mark.
William broke away again and held Mike off till the finish (Mike not happy!
Luck I believe Mike called it). On handicap William won, Mike was 2nd with
Mike Fairlamb 3rd
The Moth got some more capsize practice,
especially when Steve took it out after racing - his best effort is believed
to be 10-15 secs! Say no more :)

Saturday
The rain has passed through, and the wind is
less than forecast, but with some strong gusts
Andy Smith is trying out his Int Moth in some
wind for the first time, and finding it just as tricky (and tippy!) as in
the lighter winds of the Thursday evenings that he's been used to. Scumper
has had a go too, and found how tiring capsizing can be (after the first 15
or so!)
The winds were blustery, and there were some
excellent offwind legs that proved challenging. A wineglass in the gennaker
after the gybe mark did not help William and Elaine's chances, and it was
capped off when the downhaul on their gennaker came undone. Bean and Naomi
went on to win by a big margin from Steve and Ruth in a borrowed Ent.
There were only three takers for the 2nd race.
Scumper was still practising his capsize drill in the Moth so did not make
the start. Bean again won, with Steve second and Ian Macpherson 3rd in a F15
At Ullswater on Saturday Sam Hall finished 1st
Junior and 3rd overall out of 14 standard lasers. Adding another 2 glasses
for the collection!

Weekend Update
Sun and a steady SSW breeze greeted sailors on
Saturday - though rain was scheduled to move in late afternoon!
The breeze held, was relatively steady, and
the rain held off. The beat was relatively steady and there were some good
gusts for planing at times. The conditions led to some close racing by the
RS400s and the F15s.
Scumper and Big E sailed well to secure a
first and a second, and Mike Fairlamb and Eric Smith, with no competition in
the GPs sailed well to finish 1st and 3rd, giving them 2nd overall
overnight. Neil and Judith had to retire after Neil sat on, and broke, his
extension during a gybe.
Tim and Ian shared the winning honours with
Mike and Sally in the F15s, leaving Mike as overnight leader.
Similarly in the Mirrors, Mik and Toddy each
shared a 1st and 2nd, leaving Mik as overnight leader
Would the rain pass through overnight, and
would the wind blow on Sunday?
Sunday arrived, and with no chance of Sunday
Sun, even though it was a muggy morning, the waterproofs were on - just as
well as the rain moved in as the fleet launched, and then came back again
with a vengeance as the racing finished!!
Things were a bit crowded before the handicap
start and three port boats passing through a narrowing gap of two starboard
boats preparing to start was not going to be a struggle. Unfortunately, Mike
Fairlamb ended up with a hole in his port side in the melee.
The course took the fleets partly under the
shade of Sale Fell which, together with the varying gusts passing through,
meant a lot of ground could be won and lost on that leg. Bean and Naomi were
able to use that to their advantage and won the race from Steve and Ruth who
had been having a good battle with Robbie D and Big E. Toggle fell foul of
the changeable winds and fell out to windward at one stage when the wind
dropped, but was quickly back in the boat and racing again. William and
Elaine had been having some close racing with the other 400s but were left
standing in light airs when the other two planed away from the windward
mark.
In the afternoon, the gusts freshened, and
they proved challenging with mega shifts as well! Three boats were squeezed
off the line and had to return - Steve, William and Tony/Rosi Flinn in their Martin
16. Bean got off to a flying start and led the fleet for the first two laps,
although he was eventually passed by William after a big shift during the
beat, he stayed close enough to win the race on handicap. Robbie D and Steve
thought better of trying to catch Bean on the tight offwind legs and retired
early. Scumper sailed his laser and had to work hard to pass Sam Hall, but
they finished 2nd and 3rd, with William 4th. Bean's win gave him the series
from Scumper.
In the GPs, Mike Fairlamb sailed on despite
the damage to his boat, and won both races and the series. Ginge and Jose
sailed the first race but that was enough for them. Jose said one race was
enjoy, two would be endure! She did mention some other things but there
would be too many red faces!
Mike and Sally won both F15 races from Tim and
Ian with some close racing, winning the series overall.
The Mirrors did not race, leaving Mik the
winner

Which Wind Would Win?
After some heavy morning rain, the day dried
up and a SW breeze was the order of the day (well for the morning at
least!). The winds tended to gust through all day and there were some good
reaches if you were in the right place at the right time.
In the handicap fleet Bean and Naomi generally
remained in the right place for the wind and secured wins on handicap in
both races (flying their gennaker on the beat in the afternoon race may have
proved to be something of an advantage!). Neil and Judith held off William
and Elaine in the morning race, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively. The
gusts had proved a little too much for Judith so they opted out of the
afternoon race which seemed as if the SW wind would be strengthened by a sea
breeze. However, a good wind from the S fought with the SW breeze through
most of the afternoon race leading to some testing conditions. The changing
wind had enabled William to break away, but it also brought Bean back(!),
together with Mike Moore and Martyn Stephenson in a F15, leaving William in
3rd position again.
Joe Watkins tried his hand in Joan Hardie's
RS200 while she had a go in his Byte (and he beat her!). Dave Wright came a
cropper whilst gybing at 1, and subsequently retired.
In the GPs, Mike Turner and Sue Watson secured
a good win from Katherine Davis, but neither sailed in the afternoon.
In the Mirrors, Alan Waugh had to fight back
in both races to win from Nick Orton.
Various sailors have been playing away from
home this weekend - four boats went to Ullswater to compete in the annual
Lord Birkett two race series around the lake, 205 boats, and our lads came
25th (Robbie D and Big E), 26th (Scumper and Zefer), 69th (Andy and Rob
Smith) and 92nd (Toggle).
Full results
Others went to
Llandudno for the GP14 National Championships being held over three days -
well so I thought. In fact Phil Hodgkins sailed in
Ginge and
Jose's boat under the Derwent Reservoir burgee! He finished 27th out of 53
boats (just the wrong side of halfway :( )
Final results
Results eventually posted on websites! Stick with Bass for up
to date results :)
51 boats turned out across four fleets for a
day's racing in varied conditions to test across the sailors' range of
skills. Leigh and Lowton sent the largest fleets of boats, and won three of
the four fleets, allowing(?) our own Sam Hall to win the Junior fleet, from
KirkKnights
of where other than Leigh & Lowton
What better way to end such a hot day with a
sail? There were 22 takers for the Night Jar which was held in the northern
corner of the lake which generally held a slight breeze even though it had
made a quick about turn from the SE breeze that had been blowing an hour
before. Alan Waugh's 2nd gave him back the lead in the series

Soggy Sunday
It was a little disconcerting to see two wind
turbines on Moota turning in opposite directions!!! What would we
be
in for today? At least they were turning even if from the wrong direction!
Did we speak too soon, as the wind quickly faded :( Surprisingly by 12 the
wind had filled in from the south west and racing was underway by 12.30.
Bean and Naomi led most of the race, though William and Cristina did manage
to get past them briefly, and went on to win the race
The afternoon race was the Jimmy Lancaster
Memorial Trophy, traditionally sailed around the lake. Just before the start
the rain was seen creeping across the lake. Herb and OD Matthew Page got
togged up to protect themselves, then merrily hid in the cuddy knocking on
the window and waving and those of us who were not so appropriately dressed!
Despite the SW wind, the breeze was relatively steady and the boats were
close hauled/fetched the full length of the leg from 5 to 12. As the lead
boats sailed near St Bede's church the water turned white with the rain
beating down (or had we done something wrong?!!).There was a roar of thunder
too but was all.
There wasn't much beating on the way back
either. Robbie D and Big E led the fleet and won the race on handicap from
by a good margin from Tim Chittenden, having found a crew (Des Wright) for
the afternoon race. Is Mike Moore just breaking in his new crew, Martin,
gently at the moment?
The Youth Squad were out again, and giving OD
Andy Smith a hard time asking for more challenging courses! Report to
follow, but results can be found

Saturday Sailing
A light breeze has filled the northern end of
the lake, and it is tempting the fleet on to the water, but is it enough to
get a couple of races in? Very muggy. :( Would it thunder?!
Well there was enough wind to get the racing
started, but just before the RS400s completed their first lap the wind
started to fade and the race became a drifter. It may be some time before
the race finishes! Having taken 24 mins for the first lap, the 400s took
another 65 mins for the next! As they crossed the line the wind picked up,
and following a bit of a breather the fleet went out for another race but in
a good breeze. If the first race hadn't taken so long no doubt everyone
would have given up the ghost and went home missing the best breeze of the
day

Night Jar
The fresh on shore breeze thinned out numbers
for Thursday's Night Jar. It was the newcomers to the series that came out
best on handicap - Mark Ninnim was first and Rory Yardley second. Just three
races left in the series.
GP14 Northerns
The GP14 Northern Area
Championship was held at the club on 20/21 June. The forecast suggested
there should be a good breeze to benefit good racing, and with a bit of luck
racing would be over before the showers move in later in the afternoon.
There was a fleet of 28 boats competing for the trophy, with six from Bass.
After a hard afternoon's sailing the sailors retired to the bar for a well
earned drink or three. The visitors head the series overnight, with Dave and
Jackie Gebhard taking the lead after race one and two, but Neil Platt, with
our own Phil Smith crewing, in overnight lead with two firsts and a fifth.
Mike Senior and Luke Shaw is second on equal points. Best Bass boat is Dave
and Lynn Lawson, presently lying in 6th position.
Sunday started with a bit of an overcast
morning, but what would you expect for the summer solstice?! The threat of
rain had reduced, and the wind would be lighter than Saturday but there
should be plenty to ensure there is a fair competition between those
fighting for key positions.
Just two races, but all to race for. Despite
the forecast, the light winds resulted in a delay to the start of racing
which is now underway. Mike Senior is the helm that took best advantage of
the conditions in race 4 and he went on to win the race. After race 4 the
only two boats in contention for the championship trophy were that of Mike
Senior and Neil Platt.
As the rain came in at the end of the race the
wind filled slightly, and the fleet was very much split depending on whether
they had taken the port or starboard side of the beat. Neil clearly must
have taken the wrong side as he retired at the end of the beat leaving Mike
the championship winner, who went on to finish the race in pole position.
Locals Dave and Lynn Lawson had a good final race finishing in 2nd place and
3rd overall.
Josh Gebhard and Kieran Parsloe of Derwent
Reservoir sailed well, finishing 9th overall winning the silver fleet.
Gareth Hughes and Charlotte Hill of Hollingworth Lake finished 19th overall
and won the bronze fleet.
As luck would have it, the sun came out as the

Sunny Weekend
Sunday was another glorious day for sailing.
The wind blew from the south west, and was strengthened with the sea breeze
for the afternoon racing.
William and Elaine were a little too eager for
the first start and were recalled for being over the line, but that was not
the only reason for Scumper sailing off into the distance. Scumper was
sailing with the youth squad's Joe Watkins. A light weight crew who sailed
very well in the mixed airs, and is certain to sleep well tonight after his
first venture out in an RS400. It has been reported that at one point Toggle
(centre of attention yet again!)
almost cut Hugh Godfrey’s boat in half causing Hugh to almost capsize but he
went on to beat Tog by a whisker. In the afternoon, Robbie D and Big E came
out to sail, and had some close racing with Scumper, but it was Robbie that
took the winning honours.
In the MJM Trophy, Val and Ken Bell won the
morning race from Mike Fairlamb and Eric Smith, but in the afternoon Mike
won, followed by John Riley, with Sam Hall crewing, and then Val. All good
practice for next weekend's GP14 Northern Championship being hosted by Bass

On Saturday, the showers passed through early,
the sun's poked its way through the clouds, and there was a breeze too!
Don't need any more for a good afternoon's sailing.
The rain did hold off, and the wind freshened
slightly as the afternoon went on. The first race was part of the Celebrity
Glass pursuit series. Mike Fairlamb and Eric Smith broke away from the GPs
and eventually in the lead which it looked impenetrable. As the staggered
start times are based on a set length of racing, it was important that the
race was stopped after the correct length of time which on this occasion
meant there were to be two fast final reaches for the Vareos to take
advantage of and close the gap that Mike had gained. On this occasion, Mike
held his lead with Rory Yardley and Toggle following closely behind.
The run to the leeward mark caused confusion
as some boats came in on starboard gybe and rounded it to starboard instead
of port. Four boats were caught out by this, and spotted by the OD, so when
they crossed the finish line there was no finish signal. Mike Moore was the
first to cross, but realised he had been caught! Having rounded the mark to
port the second time round he knew his mistake and apparently had made a
pact with Tim Chittenden that he wouldn't say anything if the other didn't!
The other two caught out were Ethan Dawson, and Nigel Lewis - he reckoned he
was sailing Thursday evening's course!!
The second race was normal long championship
series racing. Neil and Judith Currie led the handicap fleet well for a lot
of the race, despite being surprised by the increase in wind strength
(Judith doesn't like it too windy!), but Robbie D and Big E fought back to
take the lead. Mike Fairlamb led the GPs throughout, and Mike Moore fought
to catch up with Tim Chittenden and take pole position. There were no
Mirrors racing
Sam Hall sailed at Derwent Reservoir. Having
been caught out by an earlier than usual start, he missed the first race and
finished 2nd junior and 4th overall in the Lakeland Laser Grand Prix. Shame
their racing start times aren't as casual as ours can be!

Sam Hall sailed in the NW Junior Traveller event
at Ullswater on Saturday. Just one second separated him from victory and
winning the event.
What a Challenge!
This weekend's weather was somewhat different
to the sunny conditions we enjoyed last week. The sun has been replaced with
showers, the wind is still here(!), the temperature has dropped, and shorts
have been replaced by thermals and woolly hats!
As a result, the conditions were less inviting
and there was just a small turnout of four boats on Saturday - certainly a
fleet challenge in that there's not two boats from the same fleet!
Dave and Lynn consistently led the fleet. Hugh
seemed to regularly capsize! Joe capsized at one of the gybe marks, and Ian
just sailed quietly around the course.
Sunday racing had a lot more takers, and the
wind was almost as blustery as Saturday and there were numerous capsizes.
With a strong on shore wind, it proved to be challenging stopping boats in
time before there were grounded as the fleet returned to the slip after
racing. As can be seen from the results, there were only a few qualifiers
for the series, buth the first three places were closely contested with just
one point difference. It was Hugh's two first from Saturday that split the
tie in his favour from Ian Macpherson.
Mike Turner was as keen as ever to go sailing,
but his crew Sue Watson had been out celebrating a big birthday - he did
suggest the party started last Saturday - boy do these nurses know how to
party! She did appear in a disguise comprising some large dark glasses - not
certain they were for the sunny conditions though, more the result of some
serious partying :)
The series was run on a personal handicap
basis, and you can see how the handicaps changed from race to race. Indeed
several positions were split by a matter of seconds. The handicapping is not
a precise science, but it does give helms of differing abilities to compete
- whether it is fair may depend on your point of view, but overall everyone
should be in with a chance!
The Youth Squad had planned a sail around the
lake with a break for a picnic lunch, however conditions just did not suit
so the picnic was held in the clubhouse, and then the fleet went out for
what seemed like a capsize drill between main racing. Not that any of the
hardy sailors were at all bothered about capsizing - many of them seemed to
be deliberate!! Hopefully the picnic will be incorporated into one of the
future social sailing events

Thursday Night Jar
Will the rain hold off for the evening? Nice
breeze to get the fleet around the course, even though it's not as warm as
it was at the weekend.
The wind held and the rain held off (well a
little drizzle but does that count?!), and there was a good turnout of 16
boats, Ginge reckons he was the one that pushed two boats over the start
line causing them to be recalled!

Sunday Sizzler
The wind was there at the start of the day, but
was from the wrong direction and then faded again. The answering pennant was
raised, so sailors thought they could be waiting for a sea breeze before taking
to the water. Glorious day though!
The wind settled down from the south after a
while, although the forecast direction was from the east. There was a fear that
the sea breeze would come in and cause havoc, so racing was delayed a while.
With a lack of OD, Herb went for a shore based
start which resulted in a busy start line as it was not exactly an unbiased
line! Some of the fleet went right towards Peel Wyke and others stayed out in
the breeze. The ones that went right had the advantage and got some lifts up the
shore, but positions did chop and change. The wind came through in phases, but
three of the RS400s managed to break away sufficiently to take 1st, 2nd and 3rd
The second race was the RNLI Pennant, and took the
fleet around the lake. Again the fleet started from a shore based line although
we're certain that the far end of the line was too far away for Herb to really
tell if anyone was over! Robbie D and Big E took an early lead with Scumper and
Toggle on their tail. There was a good beat up the lake in reasonably consistent
airs, which took just over 35 mins. But the other fleets came down on slightly
better gusts and Mike Fairlamb and Eric Smith only just lost out to Robbie D by
30 secs on handicap
The Youth Squad managed to sail the first two of
their Sunday series (the previous 4 having been cancelled due to too much
wind!). Joe Watkins continues to master the fleet with another two wins
In the end, it turned out to be an excellent days
racing complimented by sunshine!

Saturday Update
The morning breeze filled the lake with white
horses from the southerly breeze, but as the race time approached the wind eased
to give the sailors some exciting legs in the Celebrity Glass pursuit. William
and Elaine were last to start in the race and should have paid more attention to
where the fleet went, as they headed for 4 instead of 5! Going back cost them
valuable time and probably the race as the final two legs of the race were fast
reaches which pulled them through to second while Rich and Phil Hodgkins were in
their sight but too far ahead to catch.
In the second race Robbie D made a similar mistake
gybing round 9 instead of 0 - although he was on William's tail at the end of
the race, it was Toggle that took the honours on handicap

Night Jar
It was a beautiful evening, but the wind looked as
if it was going to fade before racing got underway. Fortunately it held and it
was over 30mins after the start before it did die, and then came in from another
direction! The OD hastily moved the finish line (not often done with average
laps!) to ensure boats finished in a sensible timescale.
Ginge was pleased to finish first on the water,
albeit it just 1 sec ahead of Lynn Lawson and 3 secs ahead of Eric Smith. Neil
Currie unluckily had two thirds of a lap to drift round before reaching the
finish line so was stuffed, together with Sam Hall!

Congratulations to Sam Hall who has been offered a place in this year's World
Laser Radial Youth Championship. However, as the championship ids due to be held
in Japan it is unlikely that Sam will accept the offer - Unless there's a
sponsor out there willing to help!
Bank Holiday Monday
What a glorious day - our turn for the sunny bank
holiday? The wind is struggling to settle down to the forecast SW direction
which should be topped up by a sea breeze in early afternoon. There was a
postponement waiting for the wind to steady(?!) and racing got underway by
12:15. Conditions freshened sufficiently for crews to sit on the side at times,
and there were some good shifts to take advantage of. At the end of the first
beat Robbie D and Big E took the lead and started to break away, but close on
their tail were Neil and Judith, William and Elaine, Dave and Lynn in a GP, Paul
Wright and James in a F15. The twin winds through the course of the race kept
helping to bring the fleet back together and when the results were calculated it
was the GPs and F15 that came out best, with Dave Lawson taking first position.
The afternoon race was to be part of the same
series but it would take the fleet around the lake. When the line was set it was
a northerly breeze, but the sea breeze came in with a vengeance minutes before
the start, so the course was quickly changed so that the fleet at least started
with a beat!
Toggle was in the frame for a collision with a GP at the windward mark after
which they both retired. As you would expect, racing in the bay was going
well until the lead boat reached Scarness when the infamous shadow of Sale Fell
took effect. Robbie D's lead was rapidly eroded as he sat in the doldrums, but
the four RS400s did break away and had some mixed luck on the leg to mark 13. It
was Scumper that made it first, having broken away, the winds brought the other
three RS400s back on his tail. Scumper held his lead back up the lake, while the
others positions chopped and changed. William and Elaine were flattened by a
gust and then practised a combination of swimming and diving trying to get the
boat back up. At least it enabled him to spot an incident between the two lead
GPs, Dave and Mike, in which Mike ended up doing a 720.
The changeable conditions brought the fleets
together and overall it was somewhat of a lottery, but Dave Lawson took another
first and won the series overall with Mike Fairlamb second
Other notable events included Pat Smith's first
ever sail (can you believe it when having lived with a house full of sailors all
these years)! Alan had taken her out in a F15 while Keith Thomas took Carol out
in their F15. The conditions were a bit blustery to meet up and share a glass of
champagne, but the thought was there!
Over the weekend Sam was the first youth in the
Lakeland Laser Grand Prix, 1st U19, and 2nd overall, in the Scottish Laser Grand
Prix. Both events held at Annandale SC. While Steve Hunt and Ruth Critchley had
travelled to Coniston for the weekend, and finished on a high with a couple of
firsts to leave them second overall in the event.
Overall we all had a hard, but successful weekend
topped up with a mass of sunshine!

The Spring dinner was held in the club house on
Sunday night. Evan Cowen played guitar throughout the evening which started with
nibbles and sparkling wine reception, followed by a buffet for nearly 60 people.
The social committee, led by Lucy Cowen did a tremendous job including
decorating the room and tables, and vice commodore Stephen Kirkpatrick gave a
vote of thanks at the end of the evening.
Not Another Excuse!
With the boat measurement forms fully completed,
Bridget was eager to get back into sailing - or was she? While still just half
awake as she wandered across to the clubhouse she passed Ginge who said the boat
was all ready to go. A short while later Ginge came looking for Bridget to find
out where the caravan keys were, but it's not locked she said, oh yes it was.
Not to worry a spare set in the car :) Ah, but the car keys are in the van :(
Let's get the spare set from home :) Ah but the house keys are in the van :( Ok,
let's phone the boys :) Ah, but the phone's in the van, and I don't know their
number :( Anyway, Sally's coat hanger sprang to mind and within an hour Ginge
had gained access to the van, his breakfast, car keys, house keys and most of
all his sailing gear! :) So all's going swimmingly :) Then it got the the first
beat of the race - when they tacked Bridget had forgotten about the position of
the toe straps, missed them and promptly became Bobby - bobbing around waiting
for Ginge to practice his man overboard drill. Time for an early lunch. Perhaps
they'd get the kite up this afternoon?
As for the sailing, the wind was not as breezy as
Saturday, but there were still some excellent gusts to be had. There were many
capsizes but overall it was a good race.
Ginge and Bobby ventured out again only to be
wound up by the RS400s. First of all it was John Halliday that was reaching
across their path as they were beating (both boats on starboard) and it took a
while to go their separate ways, but Ginge had to bear away substantially.
Getting their breath together for on the beat and William was coming across on
starboard so there was a last minute panic tack as Bobby only saw the next
incident at the last minute!
The winds had eased from the sharp gusts of the
morning, but there were still some good planing conditions at times. There
weren't many capsizes - Pam Bath in her Mirror was one of casualties, and Tony
Flinn was a near miss as his spinnaker filled with one gust and the Martin 16
started to fill with water - they did recover, turned on the bilge pump and
carried on!
Robbie D and Big E led the asymmetric fleet again
and secured two wins during the day. William and Elaine took second in the
morning, but the Vareos sailed well and took advantage of the gusts to push him
back to 4th. Hugh was 2nd, and Toggle 3rd.
The conditions suited the GPs in the MJM series -
Dave and Lynn Lawson winning both races. Mike and Sally took 2nd in the morning
race but it was Val and Ken Bell that came 2nd in the afternoon.

Saturday.......
No shortage of wind - again! As the Youth squad
had their race the water went black and the wind increased as the wind swung to
the SW. As the main fleets prepared for their racing the wind eased again, but
needless to say came back with a vengeance!! The winds were very gusty, with
sudden shifts, and some annoying light patches!
The first race had an excellent reach from A to 2
that had the fleet returning through the start line at great speed. Depending on
the gusts at the time the reach into A, and subsequent gybe around it, proved
challenging. Mik Chappell couldn't get out of his death roll so continued until
he reached the far shore. Similarly, William and Elaine reached at least 50 m
past the mark before having the nerve to gybe - they survived it, but many
didn't. Toddy had seen Mik's death roll and opted to gybe, but didn't make it!
The second
race took place after what seemed like an eternity of a break, and the course
this time was not as exciting though just as challenging. There were more
casualties, especially at gybe marks. This time, much to the delight of many
watching, William and Elaine were flattened by a gust while beating, and they
continued the spectacle by flipping over another couple of times trying to right
it. Yes, there was another offering to Neptune but it was spat back out! Mik
came up at the end of the race to say how he was going to compliment Elaine on
her hair before racing, not that the same was true after it!!! Just goes to show
that if you think it you should say it at the time, as later could be too late!
Robbie D and Big E sailed well and took the first
race on handicap, but a late capsize in the second race lost them some vital
seconds such that they came second to Scumper in his laser.
In the F15 fleet Mike and Sally won both races
from Paul Wright and James Springell (It was suggested that his arms are now a
little longer!). Sally was well prepared for hanging around between races, even
if she didn't realise it at the time - when she took her drysuit off, the
clothes hanger was still inside!
Tomorrow's another day - due to be sunny, but
somewhat less wind
Some people may have caught a glimpse of a rainbow
that filled the sky later in the evening, but if you didn't, there's a shot
above

Windy Weekend
There was a good southerly breeze to start the Sunday. The forecast was
for it to pick up slightly, with the rain holding off till late afternoon.
What more could we ask for?
The wind held, and probably picked up leading to some exciting offwind legs
- the single handers went for various swims, as did Scumper and Zefer (four
capsizes at the last count!). Nigel Lewis had a fresh crew after yesterday's
exploits and managed to capsize on top of the windward mark - bye bye to
another burgee!
Ginge and Jose finally ventured out in their new boat together - much fun,
many screams, even without the spinnaker! Perhaps the funniest bit was
listening to the howls of laughter as Jose put her drysuit on......
The afternoon race was a round the lake pennant, not that anyone
particularly expected to go round in such conditions. However OD Toggle set
the first mark as 12 - shame he didn't check that it was actually there! A
rescue boat ended up being the substitute mark.
Shunty opted to drive the front end of Mike Moore's F15 - wimp! The wind
seemed to ease as the small fleet got further down the lake, but the swell
didn't and several waves kept crashing over the boats and swamping them. The
fleet of two RS400s and two F15s stayed relatively close together on the
beat 40+ min beat, and it was Tim Chittenden and Ian Macpherson that reached
the windward mark first with Mike Moore and Shunty on their tail. William
and Elaine were next and finally Scumper and Zefer. All that was to change
on the downwind legs such that the order was reversed! The wind came back
with a vengeance and there was some good planing conditions.
Scumper did break away but was caught up again by William at 15, but Scumper
got the gusts to take him away although not enough to win the race on
handicap which went to Mike.
PS The forecast was right! However, within an hour of the race finishing,
the rain had passed through and the wind faded - what a lovely evening!
During the afternoon the MG Owners' Club had opted to run a treasure hunt
from the club. Little did they realise that it was one of Claire's Bass Week
specials! Not certain whether they all actually completed the course, or
indeed ever returned!...

Saturday started with a slightly less than
forecast SE breeze enabling the training boats to get on the water for the
first time this year.
Ginge and Jose are ready to get back on the
water with the launch of their new boat in the GP fleet - Avalon. However,
Jose thought better of the conditions and the first race was sailed by sons
Rich and Phil.
The wind came coming and going but there was a
lot of white horses to be seen before the first race, though there were not
many takers. By the time the race started the wind was starting to swing
from the SW, the beat had been lost, and there were plenty of holes as the
fleet were in the shadow of Sale Fell. This made the course challenging,
especially as it was a pursuit! Typically for this season the wind was again
blustery! Nigel Lewis was one of the few to get caught out by large gusts
and he lost another burgee to Neptune. The Mirror fleet had opted to
conserve their energy (or so they say) for the championship racing
The second race had a better beat, but the
course again took the fleet under Sale Fell, so there were long lulls
between the gusts unless boats spotted the logic of taking the left hand
side of the run to try and stay in some wind! William and Elaine got it
right the first time and managed to catch up Steve and Ruth, but taking a
chance down the middle the second time didn't work for them and Steve broke
away big time. The wind did its worst on the final run for William and he
could but watch the Mirror fleet, led by Toddy come down on the wind and
catch him up! Mik had a problem just before reaching the finishing line, and
did not actually finish. Ethan was again sailing well with a 4.2m Topper
rig, and despite several hails to Toddy that he was out of control (Toddy or
Ethan??), Ethan survived the conditions, finished the race, and capsized
immediately after crossing the finish line!

On Tour
Sam Hall has finished in 4th place in the Scottish
Laser Grand Prix in a standard rig this weekend at Largs Sailing Club.
Three Smith brothers sailed at the Yorkshire Dales
RS200 open last weekend. Bean and Naomi Smith took 5th overall, but we are not
certain where Andy and Rob Smith finished.
Y&Y report
Handicap/Mirror Open
Although high winds were passing through
racing was optimistically going to start at 1pm, but after a reckie on to
the water by the OD the postponement flag was hoisted and the situation
reviewed at 2pm
Unexpectedly the wind eased considerably, and
the fleets were on the water by 2.30pm. Of course, while waiting for the
start the wind picked up. It was as blustery as to it can, and although
there were many capsizes, the conditions were challenging but sailable.
The courses had runs and reaches, and when the gust was there, there were
excellent planing conditions.
As ever, Toggle gets a mention - this time for
managing to take out a competitor (Lewis Tyson in a Topper!) by hooking
Lewis' mainsheet onto his bow sprit on the startline!!
Some consistent sailing by Dave and Jackie
Gebhard in a GP secured them a first and second to put them in overnight
lead. The next three boats are all on equal points, partly because in each
race the RS400s had untypical capsizes. In the first race Robbie D and Big
E went in on a 'roll' gybe on screaming reach, having dipped their pole in
the water, and Scumper and Zefer did something similar in the second race
- though they managed to ground their boat on some submerged fence posts!
Mike Moore and Sally sailed consistently and secured two thirds.
Some excellent and consistent sailing by Jack
Lawson in the mirrors gave him a commanding overnight lead with two
firsts. His only competitor in the second race retired!
Sunday's forecast was not good - it was likely
to be too little wind rather than too much though
The forecast was right, there was not a lot
of wind and a 10.30 start seems somewhat unlikely!
Well the sunshine held for a lot of the day,
and the wind did fill in eventually, though it was never going to be
steady with a WSW toying with NW airs. Only two races were sailed on
Sunday
Scumper and Zefer sailed consistently well
taking a 2nd in race 3, but a 1st in the final race meant they snatched
the trophy from Dave and Jackie Gebhard in their GP, who had another day
with two good results (3rd and 2nd).
In the Mirror fleet, Nicky Haigh and Ruby
Charlesworth from Royal Windermere made the most of the conditions and
secured two firsts which when added to their 4th from yesterday, gave them
six points, the same as Jack Lawson. The tie break on the last race gave
the trophy to Nicky.
Beaten by the Weather
The high winds again proved to be too much for
sailing tonight, perhaps they will ease by the weekend.

Congratulations to Sam Hall who won 2nd place in the North West Junior
Travellers at Budworth S C on Bank Holiday Monday. Pictured here with a

Bank Holiday Monday
Perhaps we shouldn't have been so smug about the
last bank holiday when those down south had a wet day as we basked in
sunshine. Not only is it wet here, but the wind has been picking up as per
the forecast.
There was lots of apathy in terms of getting any
boats rigged initially, but the committee boat went out to set a start, and
the sailors followed at their leisure
There were some takers eventually - four in all.
The two series contenders - Bean and Robbie D, together with Shunty, and
Toggle had to be in the frame as well (of course)
There were great expectations of some early
capsizes, but it was not to be. From launching to recovery the boats were on
the water an hour without mishap. Toggle did retire early, but the others
all had a good race. Shunty and Ruth opted not to fly their gennaker
(although it turned out to be due to it being rigged wrongly - was that
planned we ask?!), not that it did them any harm. They did catch Robbie D up
on the beat, and got past when Big E opted to trawl the gennaker for a
while. But neither of them could shake off Mr and Mrs Bean who finished less
than two minutes behind after 40 mins of racing. With three wins under his
belt, Bean has won the series with Robbie D second.
That proved to be enough for one and all and
there was no further racing

Bank Holiday Weekend
After Friday's rain passed through, the
multitude of campers had a great evening and the sunny weather continued
into Saturday, albeit with a bit of a chill wind.
The Catapult Association are again holding
an open event alongside our club racing with a fleet of nine boats
competing. When added to club boats, in total there were around thirty
boats racing
Winds were varied throughout the afternoon
and making sure you were in the right place at the right time made a big
difference to the gains and losses to be had
Although the problem with the Thursday
evening results has being overcome, it appears that there is a
corruption in the data file that has affected previous results so we
can't publish the latest results at the moment

Sail Away
Several members were competing at different open meetings over the
weekend
Sam Hall finished in 2nd place on Saturday at Winsford Flash. He won a
£5 voucher and a crewsaver wallet.
Well done also to Robbie D/Big E and Scumper/Zefer who went to
Windermere for an RS400 event and came 1stand
2ndin the silver
fleet (10thand 11thoverall)
in fleet of 43 boats.Full
article
Dave & Lynn Lawson won Geeps after winning a protest against race
committee (at RWYC no less!). Apparently Course board said 2 which David
interpreted as "Course 2" whereas it meant 2 laps. He went in after 1
lap and was deemed to have retired.
Toggle was keen for a mention (as ever!). He went to Leigh & Lowton and
finished 5th out of a fleet of 9. His shroud fixing came adrift yet
again (Alan's fixed it for him now - no doubt the boat will fall apart
before the fitting does!). Also, he bent his tiller extension during one
capsize, but when he straightened it up it broke in two. Didn't stop Tog
finishing the race though!
And there's more - Rich Critchley was 2nd at Winsford Flash too! -
although in the Enterprise Open on 19th April! Royston Taggart (Mr T!)
was 3rd and Steve Blackburn (DJ Enterprise!) was 6th
Know any more successes? Let us know
What a Weekend!
Saturday started slightly hazy but there was a breeze - how would it
turn out?
Not quite as expected is the answer! Racing got underway in a shifting
breeze, but picked up as the fleet approached the windward mark. William
and Elaine tacked under Steve and Ruth but were just below the lay line
so had to gybe round to let Tim and Ian in a F15 through, while Steve
merrily hit the mark and appeared to nose dive as Ruth went to hoist the
gennaker. A quick 360 and they were off! The wind quickly picked up and
on the next leg Steve capsized much to Elaine's glee as it let William
get past! The squall continued to drive through and on the next beat
William was blown in. For a change the boat was quickly righted and they
continued to towards YZ to hear some sound signals. Unfortunately it was
the racing abandoned signal :( Tim had already opted to lower his
mainsail, as had Neil Garrison in a Wayfarer. Hugh Godfrey had a boom
with an unusual 90oangle!
Pam in a Mirror was rescued and taken ashore. Mark Rimmer's return to
the water was a bit of an unexpected baptism
Quote of the day - I thought I was going to die! Steve had fallen in the
water and came up for air only to be pushed back down by Ruth as she
fell on top of him. He came up a third time and was swamped by a wave!
Having donated his burgee to Neptune, he was allowed to live to fight
another day!
After an extended break three hardy sailors opted to have another race,
and the wind duly picked up again! Tim had a problem with his main
halyard so didn't make it to the start line, leaving Steve and William
to fight it out. With the wind easing and blue skies moving in from
Keswick, William led around the windward mark, but as the two boats
drifted on the next couple of legs back to the leeward mark, the wind
swung and they had to beat into it! Steve had taken a good lead and the
wind eased even more before William finished. There was no attempt to
sail the final race as the lake turned into a mirror.
What a difference in conditions over such a short timespan!
Apparently Sunday started with rain. Not certain how much wind in
the first race, but certainly the other two races had sufficient
wind to make the crews work for a living, although there were few
capsizes - Lewis Tyson having one of them!
Results were calculated on a personal handicap basis and Tim
Chittenden sailed well and consistently to secure a couple of wins,
with the other one going to Lewis Tyson. Steve sailed his socks off
(they'd dried from Saturday and he didn't go for another dip!) but
his personal handicap kept his position down and he was to finish
third overall behind William (having come back down to earth
following an early morning balloon trip!). Tim's two wins and
consistent sailing secured him the series trophy.

Sunday Sun
It looked like we could have been waiting
for the wind for a while this morning. At least we had a glorious view
while we're waiting though :)
Unexpectedly the wind did fill in enough
to get racing underway by 12 Noon, but it was never forecast to be
exciting! Robbie D had extra lightweight crew Ethan and he stormed away
from the rest of the handicap fleet, while Phil and Naomi kept the rest
of the fleet at bay - including the RS400s! Dave and Lynn were left on
their own when Mike and Sue retired in the GP fleet, and Toddy secured
another win in the Mirrors.
The afternoon race was a pennant in aid of
the Calvert Trust, although the wind had eased over the lunch break it
came back in time for a race down to 10 and back. Steve and Ruth broke
away, but William and Elaine were not so lucky and stayed entangled with
the GP, F15, and Vareos, and were beaten on the water by Mike Moore with
Lewis Tyson crewing. On a personal handicap basis, Jonathan Coulthard in
a Topaz won the race from Mik Chappell and John Prestidge in a F15
This week the Thursday evening sailing
starts - with weather like this what better way is there to wind down
after a hard day at work?

Sunny Saturday
Another glorious day, but the wind was a
little reluctant to settle down. As ever, it did swing to various legs
more challenging. The first race was a pursuit, Neil and Judith had been
vying for the lead with Steve, but the winds worked against them and
William sneaked through too.
David Calvert held the lead until the last beat, when Steve Hunt broke
through to the lead.
The following race formed part of a long
series - Steve was in a spin after rounding a mark the wrong way - he
unwound (well partly!) and came back through to win from Neil. Tim
Chittenden and Ian Macpherson beat Mik Chappell and John Prestidge in
the F15s, Toddy beat Alan Waugh in the Mirrors - Mik may be back in
contention soon as he is due to pick up his replacement Mirror

Caught in the Act
For those of you that
couldn't get to the club on Sunday night here's a few shots of those
that got down and swaety on the dance floor with a bit of Salsa dancing
Bank Holiday Monday
Another glorious day to brag about -
especially as other parts of the country will be publicising a 'typical
wet bank holday'
The day started with a good south
easterly, but it faded as on Sunday. Fortunately it sprang back and
racing got underway almost on time (OD Ian Campbell had threatened to
start on time all weekend). Both races had a beat to mark 7 just off
Scarness Bay, and the fleets all had to endure varying wind strengths
throughout. Being at the right place at the right time helped of course
- but then that's how top sailors keep winning!
Neil and Judith Currie led the first race,
but lost out on some offwind legs to Robbie D who took the lead again,
and won it on handicap. The Smith brothers in their RS200s again sailed
well, and it was Phil and Naomi that won the final race, and snatched
the series from Steve and Ruth. Toggle had further repairs to undertake
after he broke each shroud fixing on two consecutive gybes!
Scott Beattie won the F15 series with
three straight wins, and John took the helm for the final race, but was
beaten by Mike Moore and Sally Roberts who had sailed consistently all
weekend with three seconds.
The GPs was won by Mike Fairlamb after
Dave Lawson opted to move to the front of Dave Nicholson's to give some
tuition. Lynn wasn't left ashore though - she opted to crew in an
Enterprise with Mark Ninnim.
Toddy secured another couple of wins to
add to yesterday's and won the series with Alan Waugh second.
All in all an excellent weekend, with some
challenging sailing

Easter Sunday Update
Another glorious day started off with a
gentle southerly breeze that faded away in time for the scheduled 11.30
start! Sailors had an early lunch and racing got underway at 1.30. It's
a pity several sailors weren't quite ready!
Mik Chappell with John Prestidge in a F15
were on the line in time and took a good lead, but Scott and John made
up ground and won the race. It was good to see several former F15
sailors turn out to race - could it be true that there was about 600
years of experience amongst the helms and crews of the five boats?!!
In the handicap fleet William and Elaine
were on the line just in time to cross the fleet on port. They continued
up the left hand side of the beat to maintain the lead until the start
of the second beat :( It was to be Steve and Ruth that then took the
lead and the honours. In the second race, Steve again took the lead, but
the wind dropped mid way through and the gaps between leading boats
narrowed. Andy and Tim Smith won on handicap with Mark Ninnim and Rob
Smith second. Scumper didn't have a good day - late for the first race
but didn't manage to get back in the running, and disqualified from the
second race following a protest by Andy Smith
Dave and Lynn led the GP fleet in both
races from Mike Fairlamb
Alan Waugh stayed upright(!) and won both
races from Toddy - well that's what the results stated at the time!
Actually they each won one.
Off the water, the kids had fun with an
Easter Egg hunt, the adults got excited about the egg dump only to be
beaten by Ethan for the second year running. There was then a spice
evening followed by a lesson in salsa dancing. There were a few people
with a couple of left feet, but they all stood the pace and enjoyed it.
Sunshine, Shorties and
Smiths
What a wonderful for sailing. There was a
decent breeze with sun out and, although the air temperature still
nippy, more sailors opted to bear their legs in shorties. The Smith
family were out on the water in force. Dad Alan was OD, Andy sailed with
Tim, Rob sailed with Mark Ninnim, and recently married Bean and Naomi
tried out their new RS200. Also, Alan's brother Eric sailed with Mike
Fairlamb.
The GP fleet was led by Dave and Lynn
Lawson with Mike Fairlamb giving chase, however, that was not helped
when he forgot to go through YZ and lost a lot of ground returning to
correct his error.
Alan Waugh was showing Toddy the way for a
while, but his chances were scuppered following a capsize and he
subsequently retired.
Robbie D and Big E led the handicap fleet
racing, though Scumper and Zephyr kept coming back to challenge. Toggle
lost a shroud in the second race and had to retire

Youth Squad News
Nine members of the Youth Squad braved the very cold
weather and difficult sailing conditions when Dave Woodhead from the RYA
came to do a session on boat handling.
For many it turned into a day of survival and numerous
capsize drills! However, there were many smiles and the more confident
sailors went out again in the afternoon with much more success! They all did
very well and should be proud of them selves! Dave finished off the session
with a great theory session and video footage of the day. Dave will be
running the Onboard Sailing Regattas which are later on in the year (May and
October) and are in the Sailing Programme.
A lovely warm lunch was provided by our Social Organisers
Becky and Robin Dawson which really made the day! Thank you to everyone who
helped out and thank you all for coming!
Snap, Crackle and Plop
What threatened to be an extremely hectic day
with the second open meeting of the season was diluted by the fact that
insufficient Lasers turned up for the grand prix. There was also a youth
squad session which proved extremely popular - more to come from Emma!
Saturdays racing took place in typically
variable and gusty winds. Several of the fleet tested the temperature of the
water at some point - yes it was cold! Robbie D managed to capsize on the
way to the start, Mik broached in his 15 at one point, and Hugh after
several near misses managed to capsize his Vareo. In the GP fleet in the
first race Dave and Sarah had to retire due to broken kicker which allowed
Nigel and Cloe to sail gently around and take the race and as a result lead
the GP14 championship 'early doors' - don't forget its a 'marathon and not
a sprint'!. Toddy invented his own course in the Mirrors but some how
managed to correct it and finish in front of Alan. In the Handicap fleet
Scumper was probably the only one not to capsize during the race. Jim
Christie took a leaf out of Toddy's book and sailed the wrong course and
then retired. Jo Watkins also finished in his Byte.
As the wind had remained fairly strong for the
second race most of the fleet elected to go ashore. Hugh decided to stay for
the second race but was forced to be towed in when his gooseneck pulled out
of the mast. This left Robbie D and Scumper to battle it out. Scumper won
more easily this time as Robbie and Big E had to retire - apparently as Big
E had sunstroke????

Sail of Two Winds
The club sailing season got underway on an
unexpectedly glorious morning - clear blue skies, cold after a hard frost,
and a gentle southerly breeze. Substantially better than the gales which had
been forecast earlier in the week.
Mike Turner arrived expecting to be sitting on shore watching the racing,
but the conditions were so pleasant he went out for his first sail of the
season with Sue Watson crewing. Also, just the conditions for William to be
wearing shorts!
Everyone was so eager to race that the
first race haled the first general recall of the season - even if no flags
were at hand to fly! The breeze swung around Sale Fell (as it does)
to give some shifty conditions and winds from both the south and south-west. Robbie D and Big E mastered the conditions
in their RS400 which they have just bought together, but they were only 6
secs/lap ahead of Alan Nicholson in his Solo. The first race claimed the
first casualties of the season - Ginge capsized his laser, and Claudie
Black's Comet came to grief when the mast step broke away inside the hull!
In the afternoon, the wind strengthened from the
south-west and there
were several capsizes on the first beat which immediately thinned out the
fleet to just four boats. The first offwind leg was good for spinnakers
initially, but the wind headed as the fleet approached the next mark.
Reaching down the back straight to mark 2 seemed like a good idea but proved
to be too tight and the spinnakers were dropped - disappointing in such a
good wind. It was Robbie D that again too took the honours and the series,
with Toggle 2nd in his Vareo. William and Elaine took third overall

Just Can't Wait!
Toddy and Alan Waugh were down preparing their boats on Saturday, but Toddy just
couldn't wait for sailing to start on Sunday and had to go out for a sail, if
only for 10 mins!
It’s Started!
Well, our 2009 sailing season has finally started and we’ve already
hosted a major event (before our own boats have even touched the water)
Last week’s Topper Association Winter Regatta was a resounding
success and we’ve had lots of thank you notes from competitors and their
families, a typical one reads:
“I would be very grateful if you could pass on my thanks to
Bassenthwaite Sailing Club for the excellent time we had at the Topper
Northern Winter Regatta. Your Club managed to combine relaxed
friendliness from every one we met with efficient organisation on and
off the water, and my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our week end. I hope
you have a successful season on your beautiful lake.”
I’d like to thank those of you who helped to make the event a success
either during the preparations running up to the weekend or during the
event itself (which was pretty hectic for many of you)
The competitors and their families were most impressed with the
welcome we gave to them and the efficiency of our organisation, all of
which is down to your hard work and dedication.
From our point of view I’m sure you will agree that the visitors were
particularly polite and well behaved, it was a pleasure having them on
site.
The Topper Association has already spoken to me about the possibility
of us holding another major event in the future, hopefully this will
come to fruition.
Thanks again
Dave Nicholson
Sad News
Some of the longer standing members will remember Dot Ingledow.
Unfortunately she passed away last week. Her funeral was
held at Carlisle Crematorium on Friday 27 March
Topper Association Winter Regatta 21/22
March
With 85 boats entered the site was very busy this morning as campers
woke to a misty morning after a cold night.
Saturday’s racing should have started at 11am but the
mist was very slow to clear and it was after 2pm before the fleet took to
the water. Some eager starters caused several general recalls, so it was to
be another hour before the first race got under way
Sunday dawned
with stronger winds which continued throughout the day keeping the many
rescue craft occupied standing by while capsized dinghies were righted by
their helm.
It was to be another long day on the water! - The fleet went out at 10,
sailed three races and were back at 2.
It really was a series of two halves with some competitors doing well in
Saturday’s lighter winds and others favouring Sunday’s gusts.
Overall there was a good mix of conditions over the weekend to test the
competitors, but Felicity Foulds from Norfolk
Broads Yacht Club, mastered them, was consistent, and took the
championship title.
The Regatta which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
There are more videos to view
(Unfortunately they will only work in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome at
present)
Really Cold Blast During the Past
Can you remember what winters used to be
like? Well, here's one of Graham and Judith's photos to remind us what
effect it had on the lake. The framework of the old jetty is in the
background, but no sign of the boathouse (not even a twinkle in Jak
Jones eye at that stage!) - how times move on!
Turn Up The Heat!
There was a good turn out for Sunday's walk,
which avoided the icy hillside of Sale Fell and went to Wythop Mill,
Embleton and back to the Club.
Meanwhile you'll note that the heating has
been turned on to melt the ice which has formed in the recent past. We
are assured it will be a barmy 34o by the time sailing starts
next month! -
oF not
oC though :)
Someone's eager to help out - why don't you follow his lead, it is
always appreciated
Get Socialising
Topper Event: Sat 21st & Sun 22nd March - Bass is hosting an event for
100 of the Topper class that weekend. We will be catering three meals a
day for sailors
, rescue and race staff, families and supporters. Please
can anyone who is willing to help out at any time in the galley please
contact Lucy Cowan or any member of Council.
Full Social programme for the year to be included in the Club handbook.
Getting Some Practice In
Rich Critchley sent a photo of some keen
swimmers at Pilkington Sailing Club in January. The second photo is of
the 1993 winning Americas Cup boat Stars and Stripes with a well known
club member at the helm (also in January). I know which sort of practice
I prefer!
No, it's not Mike Moore in the centre of the boat (does look like him
though!)
Youth Squad
Below are some pictures of The Youth Squad that
turned up at the meeting on 25th Jan.
Emma Smith
introduced the new social organisers Becky and Robin Dawson, discussed
the sailing programme, and all were happy to start bolting on their
races onto club races half way through the season when they had gained
more confidence. Also, she explained the roles of the council, clarified
the situation on boat hire, discussed who needed key fobs, volunteered
Joe Watkins to be in charge of the Youth Squad notice board. Afterwards
all played some pool and ate pizza!
Happy New Year!
As seen here the
webcam caught the New Year revellers' firework display!
A new year
and the lake is as glorious as ever, although there might be some
small icebergs to contend with if you are in the mood for a sail.
If not too high on your priority list at the moment, remember
that the season starts in March and that's only two months away!
Daunting thought
Top Dog
Following the 57th AGM, Dave Nicholson has
been elected Commodore. - full list of council members can be found

Following much discussion it was agreed to
alter the championship points awarded for weekend series to be double

to be resolved by the planners.
A request has been made to keep the
accessible parking bays free for those members that need to make use of
them
Outgoing Commodore Steve Hunt thanked
everyone that had helped him during his term of office
Aren't we privileged?!
Don't you feel privileged to enjoy such
wonderful scenery as this?
The two pictures show it's not just a
fluke!
Up and Coming Star!?
What's that all about - something to do with
Christmas? Not quite.
Who could it be? You guessed it, none other
than our own Sam Hall won the Up and Coming Star award at the recent
Cumbria Youth Sports awards. Many congratulations to Sam!
After a reluctance to appear (surely not stage
fright?!) baby Lily Alice Smith was
The
concentration juice was working well at this stage at least! This was
one of the challenges which formed part of the quiz night
The rain has passed through, and the wind is
less than forecast, but with some strong gusts
The second
race took place after what seemed like an eternity of a break, and the course
this time was not as exciting though just as challenging. There were more
casualties, especially at gybe marks. This time, much to the delight of many
watching, William and Elaine were flattened by a gust while beating, and they
continued the spectacle by flipping over another couple of times trying to right
it. Yes, there was another offering to Neptune but it was spat back out! Mik
came up at the end of the race to say how he was going to compliment Elaine on
her hair before racing, not that the same was true after it!!! Just goes to show
that if you think it you should say it at the time, as later could be too late!
As seen here the
webcam caught the New Year revellers' firework display!
