Long Distance Series Round 3

26/5/2019

0 Comments

 
8 hardy skippers turned up to Montrose for the third installment of the Long DIstance series for 2019.
Seven got a start in the first race, with yours truly forgetting the keel on the Indie - an omen that should have been listened to.
Strong NW winds meant everyone started on B rigs, with Lisa's Blade and my indie (when it got to water) on C rigs. With significant wave action throughout, the sailing was consistently challenging, but enjoyable.
Trying to steal the limelight, Lisa's yacht got de-masted at one point, and my Indie decided to turn into a submarine (note for everyone, don't be scared to have a lot of overlap with deck patches) and took on water quicker then One Australia in San Diego.
Back to where the attention should be - and John Hall proved way too good on the day, with a real consistent day with the heavier conditions, o 12 points, with Les Hanson coming in a close second on 15 points, and Peter Darcey rounding out the top three, just three points further back. Rod Marshall also scored very well, with two wins and a second on the day for him.
The skippers had a break at lunch time, and enjoyed a few sausages, some coffee and had a good chat about all things sailing. Quite a pleasant break. (Thanks Lisa for doing the BBQ for us all).

It is now coming to the end of the month, and a gentle reminder for those who have yet to pay subs, that they are due by the end of the month. I'll also send out individual reminders after the end of the month, for those yet to have paid.

Next week is RM Scratch at MBYC. Tides are favourable and the inside information is that we may be able to use the new floating pontoon for the first time.

RM Southern Tasmanian Championship

19/5/2019

​Seven sailors turn up to a top of A rig northerly which gradually  petered out to light  variable breeze.
Ray again dominated the racing, a hard boat to beat. Rod Marshall launched his new boat  and showed some promise and I  am sure
he will be very competive once he gets used to it.
Many thanks to jammy & wife Lyn for doing an excellent job running the racing today

IOM Mid Week Handicap

16/5/2019

​A good turnout again this week for the last week at Risdon Brook Dam for a little while, while Hobart Water drain another metre out of the dam, wait for the newly exposed ground to dry, before hitting the perimeter of the whole dam with excavators to remove all the unwanted weed – may be looking at a few months before this is completed and dam levels raised again.
 
Peter Sylvester had a fantastic day, easily coming out trumps in first position, with Ray Joyce comfortably in second, and Wayne Behrens in third, holding out Phil Turnbull and Andrew Wardrop.

​A reminder of things coming up;
  • We have the RM southern Tasmanian Championships this coming Sunday at the dam. Entries to me as soon as possible, closing on Friday. If you’d like to compete, but don’t have an RM, contact me and I should be able to get you into a yacht for the day.
  • Subs ($60) are due by the end of the month. Please see Les for payment when you can, or pay by bank deposit – but if you do, please make sure you identify yourself in the comments of the deposit, so Les knows who paid.

IOM Mid Week Handicap

9/5/2019

0 Comments

 
A chilly start today with 12 IOM’s sailing in mid to upper A rig conditions with a fairly steady NW breeze.

Our course was 3/4 to 8/7 to 5/6 to 8/7 to gate & 3/4 finish. A very good mix of results so we shall see who came out on top. A few skippers lost attention and ended up in the weed with resulted in a difficult rescue. PRO duties were varied so thanks to those who helped.

The contents of Kyle’s email re the weed removal at the dam was discussed, and at this stage the fleet will sail next Wednesday & then we will in all probability move to Montrose ( particularly if the pontoon is in ) but will review again next Wednesday.

Bragging rights today went to Rob Cooney, narrowly edging out Paul jewel, with Stuart Harris rounding up the top three.

A good days sailing.

May DF95 Handicap

1/5/2019

There were eight gentlemen of impeccable purpose & character trying to chase down any hint of breeze at the dam this morning.

It was largely a futile endeavour & after three very slow races, it was decided that gardening or housework had more appeal, so the pin was pulled.

Good to see Phil Turnbull back sailing after a period of absence whilst he lined the pockets of the medical profession.

Thanks to those who came & assisted today, we will try again next week
