2024: Pursuit Race 1
Sailing Secretary (Keith Jones) • 13 April 2024
Good racing with interesting and challenging sailing.
| Points | Yacht |
|---|---|
| 1 | Jailbreak |
| 2 | Renegade |
| 3 | Alchemy |
Three boats turned out on a typical gusty Windermere-type day with strong squalls, calms and winds from every direction. Renegade overtook Alchemy early on and held on to the end... but not quite the very end. Jailbreak had been steadily reeling in the two boats who started earlier and managed to take a deserved lead in the last 5 minutes of the race, improvising round the last mark in very changeable light airs.
Start Line: 12(S) Fisherfield Jetty (P)
Course: 3P / 17P / 13P / 5S / 11S / 4P / 12S .. repeat until 1545
Wind: SW 17-16kn
& the End of Season Trophy goes to ...
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.
Drum roll please ...
Tough day at the races ...
