3rd August: On Tuesday 3rd August four boats took to the water. Two races were comleted before the fickle light South Easterly died away. In the first race both Cobra and Mercury Too were OCS (over the line at the start), this gave Moonstone lead enough to win the race. Mercury Too decided to pull a creel buoy during the second race. Cobra set off to an excellent start and led to the finish.

29th June: Nine snipes were launched on Tuesday. Unfortunately Snoopy had a missing tiller so Charlie and Jack Sidderfen didn't sail. Cobra had a good sail with two firsts and one second. Hassfang with young Fraser Corse at the helm did very well with a first, second and third place.

18th June: A very fresh Northerly wind on Friday 18th June enabled four snipes to take part in some exciting racing. Some of the skippers doubled up as it was just a bit windy for the less experienced crews.

25th May The seasons racing started a week later than anticipated due to strong northerly winds previously. Eight snipes took to the water but Simon Kemp and daughter Sarah sailing siesta didn't compete. Fleetwing won all three races but confusion over the finish line led to a few problems. Hopefully next week things will be better organised. Our new rescue boat was crewed by Robert Ashcroft and Paul Sneesby.
