The sun was out but the wind was nowhere to be seen as sailors and spectators turned up for the annual ‘Barts Bash’ race. PRO Alex Morrison signalled a postponement and advised an early dinner and an hour later the flags began to flutter into life as a light southerly breeze filled in, was allowed to steady and then 42 boats went afloat to contest the event. It was one of those frustrating days when you just had to be...
The Solo Northern Travellers series resumed after the summer break with 35 helms arriving at Leigh & Lowton sailing club to be greeted by bright sunshine, an unseasonably high air temperature and absolutely no breeze whatsoever. When what little wind there was occasionally filled in it was not across the whole course and came with big wind shifts of up to 90 degrees and throughout the day, when it was there, averaged 4 to 5 knots over the day....
Over 50 Northern Topper and Optimist competitors were welcomed by Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club for the Topper Traveller (doubling up as Zone indicator) and Optimist Zone training. Unfortunately the wind was not as cooperative as indicated in the forecast and racing was eventually postponed until after 2pm, allowing competitors to indulge in some training from Luke Shaw, the famous LLSC home cooking, canoeing and swimming before lunch in the sunshine! 2 races were held in wind between 1-6 knots and a large...
