Detailed Results

9 June

On the evening of 9 June there was a fine gusty breeze from the north west, around 16 knots with 20 knot gusts. Three races were held with the course Start, the 5 and 1 marks to port and then a finish. The first race had two laps, the next races were just a single lap each. In Race 1 there was very tight racing with only 1 second between Il Mostro and Teebro at the finish. Still Game was disqualified when he missed going through the starting gate on the upwind leg. In Race 2 Teebro took the win with Fiddlesticks and Il Mostro slugging it out on the upwind leg. In Race 3 Fiddlesticks did well to keep pace with Teebro while the other boats fell back a bit. Still Game was managing quite well but capsized at mark 1 and retired.

Many thanks to Robbie Peace and Sam Harcus for manning the safety boat and to Jim MacDonald, Karen Muir and Lindsay Moar on the pier managing the races.

2 June

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.

26 May

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.

5 May

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.
