A lovely sunny day with extremely light & variable
winds at the planned start time meant the race officer had to delay the start
until the breeze settled down. A course was set with a windward leg to BP Wytch
Farm, a planned run back in to Vinyl solutions and back out to BP again before a
beat into Swanage. shortly after the start the wind filled in from the South
West, turning the first two legs into a reach, followed by a beat into Swanage
bay, which saw many boats overpressed as the wind increased to around 20 knots.
Most boats anchored or picked up Swanage SC Moorings and Ian Hayes in his
RIB Bloodshot, and the Swanage YC Rib did an excellent job of ferrying crews
ashore for a spot of Swanage hospitality.
For the retun race, our hosts at
Swanage Sailing Club layed a windward mark for us in the bay, which we rounded
prior to a run down to Coleman Marine, before heading back in to the Swash &
finish line. The sun still shone & the wind stayed at around 15 - 20 knots -
a perfect day for a sail.
A special vote of thanks goes to Ian Hayes for
acting as race officer & taxi service, and to Swanage YC.
