Bassenthwaite were hosts to 32 boats from as far afield as Penzance (and Bombay) for the Enterprise North West Area Championships this weekend. At the same time open meetings were held for lasers and mirrors.
The weekend started in fresh winds (yet again!) and OD Phil Smith tested sailors endurance with a couple of beats from mark 2 to 7. The wind increased for the second race and there were numerous capsizes to keep the rescue crews busy. Rhonwen Bryce would like it pointed out that despite numerous capsizes, she completed both races while lesser mortals (did she mean men?) retired – but she suffered for it all day on Sunday!
Those with enough energy danced the night away in a disco which was sparked off with a prize draw of prizes Typhoon, the sponsors of the Enterprise Association tourers series. Sparks continued later in the evening as the OD suggested practising flame throwing technique using Drambuie as the fuel! As a result, Toggle Cowan was suffering from burnt lips on Sunday morning.
Sunday’s racing was more serene, partly due to being the morning after the night before, and partly due a gentle force 1/2 breeze.
There was close, competitive racing all weekend as the results show.
Bassenthwaite presented a club burgee to the Bombay contingent and received a pennat from the Roay Bombay Yacht Club in return
