Winter Series 2005
Prize giving Sunday 18 December
Another successful winter series was celebrated today
when our sponsor, Pete Lawson of Sailblades.com, presented the prizes to the
qualifying sailors.
14 boats competed for the races over the course of the last
8 weeks and today was the only day when racing was cancelled because of lack of
wind. It’s fair to say that some
of the races were sailed in very strong winds and we were all pleased to have
our new safety boat on the water!
What made this series particularly enjoyable was the way in
which all the duties were shared – particular mention was made of the
‘orange and chocolate’ cakes made by Myles – it was also good to have some
‘new faces’ at the club with competitors travelling from Ullswater and
Blackpool.
Everybody who completed 7 races was presented with a
‘Carabiner Watch’ with the Overall winner getting the Winter Sailing Series
Shield. The final positions were as
follows:
Martin Metcalfe 12pts 1st
Pete Dowker 13pts 2nd
Luke Pitt 14pts 3rd
Pete Lawson 17pts 4th
Rob Wadge + Sara Harrop 24pts 5th
Steve Sykes 30pts =6th
Ian + Geraldine Downs
30pts
=6th
Myles Ripley 36pts 8th
