The 2014 LLSC Junior Travellers will be remembered by all for the glorious sunshine and favorable wind. A westerly F2/3 allowed the Race Officer Mike Baldwin to set a simple trapezoid course with a beat up most of the length of Pennington Flash with a wing mark near the club house for a good view by the spectators. The 48 sailors behaved themselves on 8 of the 9 starts with only one errant Laser sailor over the line on the last start sequence of the day....
Six members of Team Etech shown on the photo at the Optimist Inlands were recognisable as LLSC juniors. Cool pose Archie. Not quite as cool as the subsequent bullet he claimed in the 200+ fleet though. Just to prove that our lake trained sailors can ‘do it on the sea’ we took a record number of boats including 10 Optimists to West Kirby in the 3 fleets of the junior travellers. Great course set on the Dee estuary in a North...

http://www.sail4cancer.org/boot-vs-boat-2014-dave-kelsall-sailor At 12pm on Saturday 23rd August, three teams will set off from Tower Bridge in London for Brighton Pier. One team will walk and other two will sail in this unusual charity race! On their boat, Dave Kelsall will be joining eight other sailors for the 140 mile voyage. In addition to fighting wind shifts and shifting tides, Dave’s team will have to navigate through the busiest commercial lane in the world… and in the dark! The BIG question remains...
Have you got or are you thinking of compiling a bucket list? If so add this event to your list.

The forecast had been a little downbeat for Saturday when 10 visitors joined 17 LLSC members to compete in the 2014 Open Meeting for RS200’s and RS400’s. The only thing disturbing the surface of the lake as competitors arrived was the ripples created by the Open Water swimmers!
The sun shone and the wind came (and went) and 33 young helms and their support teams enjoyed a magnificent weekend of racing as a result. Leigh and Lowton SC were the hosts for this year’s Northern Championship event, the first meeting of a series of 4 which will make up the Northern Travellers series. The entry tops last years by 10, and shows just how much the RS Tera fleet is developing in the North of England. There were...
