2023 IRC GBR Inland Championships Race Day 2

Sailing Secretary • 26 November 2023

Light wind race

A tricky forecast saw us in the North lake again with the wind dropping just as we set up. One race of one lap was all we could manage - having used Lima to add a 15 minute time limit to reach the windward mark. As it happened this was more than sufficient, and all but one boat managed to finish within the overall timeout set by the first finisher.


Some learning for the Race Management team about using the radio for OCS, Frankie did return but lost some time waiting for confirmation, and SC1 sailed on and were scored OCS. As explained in The Boathouse afterwards, we'll make sure to call out OCS boats over VHF from now on.


All in all a bit of a frustrating day, but light wind days are part of the challenge and congratulations to Game of Thrones and Alchemy who mastered the conditions.


Hope to see everyone in two weeks for the last of 2023's races.


Updated 28/11/2023: Alchemy's handicap corrected to 0.818 - for some reason it had changed in HAL to 0.815

A good turnout on a fine day gave close racing with occasionally challenging conditions for short handed crews. Pura Vida looked ahead on the water but corrected times show a different picture with Seventh Heaven taking Race 2 and the fleet close together for both races. Nevertheless, Pura Vida held on to pip Seventh Heaven to this year's September Cup.
