Detailed Results

Damp and cool conditions on Tuesday 2 June for the Holm Sailing Club evening points races. There was a light NE breeze which backed round to the NNW gave good conditions for three races in St. Mary's Bay. The breeze was quite gusty and shifty close to the Holm shore. Five snipes took to the water along with one ILCA. Course two was selected for all three races; 1, 3, 4 ,1 and back to the start. At the front of the fleet there was very close racing, with Fiddlesticks taking the first win. Teebro and Juno took the wins from race 2 and 3 respectively.

Many thanks to Raymond Grieve, Karen Muir, Darcy Cook and John Orr for managing the races from the pier. Thanks to Sam Harcus and George Shearer for running the safety boat.

Results from racing on Tuesday 26 May are given below. The breeze, although it was quite fresh through the day, eased considerably. For the first race it was averaging about 16 knots from the north west, dropping to about 12 knots by the end of the racing. The course was from the start a short beat to 5 then a good run down to 2 followed by a beat back up to 5 and then a reach to the finish line. The same course was used for all three races.

Teebro was first in all three races putting her in a solid first place in the series.

Il Mostro had some issues with their pole launcher but despite that managed to hold on to their position downwind.

In the second race Valkyrie was OCS and then got mixed up with a couple of other boats so was disqualified.

In the third race Still Game, in third place, had a good lead over Fiddlesticks on the final leg but lost it by one second at the finish, Fiddlesticks got a good gust and managed to use the extra speed to roll over to windward of Still Game.

Many thanks to Ian Clayton and Karen Muir for manning the safety boat and to Lesley Spence, John Orr and Darcy Cook for managing the races.

A light NW breeze provided fine conditions for seven Snipe and a solitary ILCA (Laser) taking part on the first of the Tuesday evening points races run by Holm Sailing Club. Three races were held with the first running on course 12, and the next two on course 2 when the wind was lighter and had veered to the NE. The Snipe class had close racing with different winners for each race. In Race 1 Still game finished witha good lead ahead of Valkyrie, other boats finished close behind. In Race 2 Juno finished with a convicing lead over Aquamania, the next three boats were close behind with Teebro, Still Game and Il Mostro taking places 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Teebro took the win in race 3, with Juno and Tippy taking 2 and 3 places.

The ILCA (Lullaby, John Orr) started along with the Snipe fleet but managed to squeeze ahead. The Tuesday evening points racing will continue through the summer along with Wednesday evening training and fun sailing. Class racing will be held for ILCA and Snipe dinghies. The Wednesday evening training session was well attended with fourteen juniors taking part in fine weather. Toppers and ILCAs were put to good use with a chilly 12 knot breeze.

Many thanks to Jim MacDonald and his daughter Lesley Spence for managing the racing and to Karen Muir and Ian Clayton for managing the safety cover.
