The weekend’s sailing at the club saw the conclusion of the first set of long series, but the damp forecast and lack of wind was enough to cause several would be sailors to find something else to do. Dave and Lynn Lawson secured the Spring Cup with two firsts, Hugh and Rhonwen did give them a challenge but managed to inexplicably tip their boat in and go for a swim.
Sunday’s racing was delayed waiting for wind, but when it did come in and settle from the West, there was a pleasant force 1/2. Malcolm Clayton concentrated so hard on ensuring that his son had uncleated the genny when they tacked, it slipped his mind that his new boat had a centre main which he had forgotten to uncleat – time for another capsize drill me thinks! The afternoon race was the Jimmy Lancaster Memorial Trophy, and as is the tradition, the fleet were sent around the lake. Ian Campbell broke away from the rest of the fleet with Mike Moore in hot pursuit, but no-one was able to catch them on the run down the lake. William Carruthers, still getting to grips with the RS, did try to reach down the lake, but with a lack of wind, and the challenge of going under the shade of Sale Fell, it did not prove to be a tactical move, and he duly tagged along behind the fleet for the rest of the race. He even experimented flying the genniker when close hauled – again, not a good tactical move! However, Joan Cowan took to the front on William’s boat while husband Toggle sat back and double checked her life insurance! She did say there would have to be a role reversal – she would lie down and have a snooze while Toggle made the tea that evening – did she get her way?
